Just watched the 2012 running of Superstars, including clips of the legendary performance by Brian Jacks, and it got me wondering how many dips is regarded as a good score? Either out right so at body weight, or maybe with some weight related factor taken into account.

For example how impressive is Anthony Joshua's 50 at a bodyweight of c. 17 stone?

Yes, I thought he'd do well having seen clips of him training at the Team GB Boxing camp - including sprints and rope climbs, which is pretty good at his weight, but 50 dips at 17+ stone is better than I thought he'd do. Obviously a natural - as well as a well trained - athlete.
