Well i am in the same predicament. I weigh 200 i can do about 30 push ups. If you want to do continuous reps, aim for 120 and do 15- 20 at a time. If you want to go heavier try 150 and do 5-7 reps. If you want to max out go for 175-200 and do one single rep. I know that men should be able to bench 90% of their weight once to be considered "fit".

It depends on how strong he is. Some people are stronger than others

its best to start with low weight then find out and slowly move up. so 120 sounds a good place to start if its first time ever lifting.

Reps? Not too much. I weigh 182 and I can do about 65 pushups (I'm in the military). And I'm 39. He needs to run for lacrosse, not so much lift weights. Slim down and become fast and not bulk up! The goal is to lift your body weight and not kill yourself. 10 reps of that and your golden IMO.

Great question, but I'm not sure there's an equally great answer, at least from me. I can't see how one's performance in one exercise can exactly tell you about their performance in another one, however similar they may be. And you didn't say whether your cousin did 30 pushups straight, or whether they did sets of pushups, like three sets of 10. But even with that answer, I'm not sure it will help us give you a real accurate answer, unless there's a formula somewhere that I never heard of, which wouldn't surprise me. I've done pushups and benchpresses over the years, and I can remember liking benchpresses more than pushups, so, maybe which one you like best or feels good most to you will have some impact on how much you can do. And, being the mental health professional with 20+ years experience, now retired, I'm inclined to believe that that's true. God Bless you.

try like 100 pounds first, then add on until you feel comfortable.

i would have to go with u
