Short answer: Push-up standards vary by organization, age group, role and test version. Always use the current official instructions for the assessment you are taking instead of applying one universal chart.
Standards versus norms
A standard is a threshold set for a purpose. A norm compares your score with a reference group. Neither automatically defines health or personal worth.
Why rules differ
Tests may use a time limit, cadence, hand release or a particular depth. A score from one protocol cannot be compared directly with another.
Major test types
Use benchmarks responsibly
Verify official rules on test day and use personal progress for training decisions. General averages are covered in push-up benchmarks.
Train for the standard without making every day a test
RepSaga turns the preparation sets between assessments into battles, streaks and visible progress.
