200 Pushup Prop Bet
I need advice on whether to take this prop bet, the stakes and what the odds should be. The bet is that I can't do 20 sets of 10 pushups with 1 minute break in between sets. I would have to do this today at work. The original bet was 5:1 on $1000 (i.e. I put up 1000 to win 5000). This offer was rescinded by the other party and they are currently contemplating what the next offer should be.
Background: I USED to work out a lot. A regular part of my routine would be 20 sets of 10 or 10 sets of 20 pushups with between 20-45 seconds of rest in between. There was never anyone watching my form, so it slacked at times. I have not worked out regularly in approximately 2 years. I am 30 years old now, 6'3", 200 lbs. Recently, I worked out for about 2-3 weeks at the beginning of March, stopped for about 3.5 weeks and have worked out twice this week. In other words, I'm not in good shape and am a little sore from my Tuesday and Wednesday workouts. My questions to you are:
Any additional advice would be appreciated... Thanks!
