Propbet: 10000 pushups in a week
 

I made this bet with my mate that by the end of the year (last week of the year) I would do 10000 pushups in a week. It's on the trust system, so he doesn't have too spend a week watching me do [censored] all. I am pretty unfit, not fat just haven't been to the gym for a while. Play sport twice a week and eat healthyish.

With me coming from here:
-do you think i can do it?
-how?

Current game plan, start pushing up and eat healthy so there is less to push up.

Re: Propbet: 10000 pushups in a week

Re: Propbet: 10000 pushups in a week
 

harder than it seems

Re: Propbet: 10000 pushups in a week
 

honor system? how much money is involved?

Re: Propbet: 10000 pushups in a week
 

I'll bet 1000 bucks you can't do it.

Re: Propbet: 10000 pushups in a week
 

Just do like 2 or 3 pushups every minute until you get to 10,000.

I would definitely take this prop bet and I dont work out.

Re: Propbet: 10000 pushups in a week
 

This is a lot harder than you think it is, and I doubt you can do it.

Try doing 1000 pushups in a day and get back to me. See how you feel the next day.

Re: Propbet: 10000 pushups in a week
 

how many push ups in a day is possible?? consider resting days as your muscles will need to repair.. 10000 i cant see it myself

i dont know if my 4th grade education served me well here, but it appears that he will have to average 1 push up per minute for the entire week, or about 1,440 per day.

however, you can easily win this by devoting 4 hours per day to doing 6 push ups per minute. pretty easy bet. [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img] although knowing the history of totally random people on 2p2 and their dumb prop bets, this is probably for $100 bucks or something stupid.

and the trust system? wtf?

edit: i just re-read my post, in case i am not clear, this bet sux, not possible, someone lock this thread

We all know the honour system is flawed, by flawed i mean doesn't work.
I'm not from america so I'm 187cm 85-90kg.

It's only for $200, but i"m pretty keen to get fit.

Re: Propbet: 10000 pushups in a week
 

this is pretty much super hard prop bet

wouldn't it be ez for u to get a mini camcorder and just record all of it, for somewhat of a proof?

math is right, your definition of "easy" isnt.

[/ QUOTE ]

No resting days, don't think i could afford to. I figured 8 sets of 200 per day. We'll see i hope to not need too mush rest for this to be possible I need to be doing it pretty easy for the first few days

I'd make this bet for $10,000 if I had some way of checking whether you completed the 10k pushups.

$1 for each pushup

Re: Propbet: 10000 pushups in a week
 

this is not possible by the average or even fit man.

Re: Propbet: 10000 pushups in a week
 

you're gonna be so sore after the first day of prop bet that the next days are gonna be damn near impossible and you're gonna want to cut off your arms

Re: Propbet: 10000 pushups in a week
 

I've got heart, and that can't be measured

Re: Propbet: 10000 pushups in a week
 

if you don't consistently to pushups/workout this seems absolutely impossible. i did ~100 or so pushups the other day at lacrosse practice and after about 70 i was struggling sooo hard, 2 days later i'm still sore as [censored]. sry, i think you're screwed.

Re: Propbet: 10000 pushups in a week
 

lol if you aren't used to this and do it on a regular basis, you wont be able to feel your arms afer maybe 1 or at most 2 days.

Have you tried doing 8 sets of 200 in a day yet? Have does it feel doing 1 set of 200?

Re: Propbet: 10000 pushups in a week
 

bet up to 10k most people cant do this

Re: Propbet: 10000 pushups in a week
 

you guys saying "you just have to do X amount of push-ups in X hours each day" know absolutely nothing about how muscles work.

You admit that you haven't been to the gym in years, and thus have ZERO idea how you feel the day after a tough workout. The only way this is possibile is if you can train yourself to be able to do 3,000 pushups a day so you can let your body rest for a day.

Impossible.

Here's a challenge- go do 300 pushups in an hour and tell me how you feel...but you probably won't even be able to do that.

most people would have trouble doing this in a month

Re: Propbet: 10000 pushups in a week
 

this is not even close to possible for an average person. still pretty impossible for someone who works out. your body would be dead after a few days. your muscles might tear

I'll still bet 1000 dollars you can't do it. I'll give you a month to prepare.

Re: Propbet: 10000 pushups in a week
 

I go the the gym 4 times a week, and I wouldn't ever bother trying this.

too hard

Re: Propbet: 10000 pushups in a week
 

Agreed. I do a bunch of push up work outs, inclines, jumping, wide grip close grip.

That said, no way I take this bet. Your pecs will be so tight they'll be cramping by the third day at the ABSOLUTE latest.

If you've already made the bet, start doing some vinyasa yoga. Practice plank pose, get comfy in it. Get a [censored] load of bananas for the week you're going to do it. And then lie to your friend.

Re: Propbet: 10000 pushups in a week
 

I think I could do this. I use to do 7 sets of 100 push ups each and everyday without a problem.

you're still 5100 pushups short.

Re: Propbet: 10000 pushups in a week
 

What kind of push ups? penis pushups?

Re: Propbet: 10000 pushups in a week
 

try doing 8 sets of 200 for just one or two days

after you feel what that's like you'll probably buy out of the bet

Re: Propbet: 10000 pushups in a week
 

I honestly don't know if I could do 10000 in a month. Probably if i had a reason to by December, but I don't think I could do it in the next 30 days. I'm no 300 lb tub of crap either. i'm 6'1", 185 but waaaay out of shape after doing a lot of nothing for the past 15 years.

GL, OP

obv if you do high sets like that it will kill u

but, if you slept for like 6 hours each day and otherwise did 1 or two pushups a minute, would it be as hard? ignoring the fact of going insane for doing pushups for 18 hours straight

Re: Propbet: 10000 pushups in a week
 

ur off by a factor of 10. I'd be surprised if you could do 1k in a week.
