i could do 1000 in 2 hours, maybe an hour and a half

I believe it, but of course there are people like 'NO WAY MAN' Now just get yourself some action.

anyone who ever saw me would never take the bet anyway, im like 6 2 220 of muscle. i would just do 50 sets of 20 reps with a minute of rest or so in between sets. now whether i could do it in an hour, that would be a pretty neutral EV bet for someone

A push up is pressing about 30-40% of your body weight, right? It can get tricky because unless you train like that, ridiculously hi rep work can destroy you, hence the need for rest. Even being super strong and doing low rep max-out work doesn't = proficiency in super hi volume work.

1000 in an hour is a great bet because it's really hard to believe somebody can do it no matter how strong they look, plus it's really hard for the lifter to believe they CAN'T do it if they regularly do low to mid rep work. Both parties can be in for a surprise.
