Default Re: 1000 push-ups in 4 hours

I'll weigh in here...I've made a similar bet and thought I had it. Me and my buddy bet $50 each, that our semi big 190lb 5'8 friend couldn't do a thousand pushups in 1 hr, right after he did a big chest workout...I lost. He's a freak though and can bench 315 over 15 times so his bodyweight even when he was exhausted wasn't to hard for him. He was a pollack and bought vodka with the cash after and got wasted lol. The moral, it is doable just depends on the person....4 hrs should be nothing.

Wow, this guy is a monster. I'm pretty sure OP will lose this bet, but people also underestimate how much pain OP's friend will be in. If he has any biomechanical inefficiencies, he may well damage one or both shoulders through repetitive strain. (And a lot of people who would brag about benching BW for 10 reps are the sort to have poorly stabilized shoulders.)
