Put your hands on a bathroom scale and measure it!

Please provide more information. Does this man fit the average human in proportion...or is more like an alien with an overly massive head?

The effort to do a push-up will vary as the cosine of the angle formed by your center of gravity and the pivot point (presumably your toes), compared with horizontal. Note that this angle will vary through the course of the push-up.
