    Probably around 15-25% of your body weight. When you perform a regular push-up, the resistance is about 65% of your body weight. If you want to find out exactly how much force (in lbs) you are pushing, do the wall push-ups with your hands positioned on a scale and record the farthest point the needle reaches.
