I don't think I could do this, maybe if I just bent my arms 90 degrees or something. Sounds horrid [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Did he win this? or has it gone down. I heard about it along time ago and thought i could do it easy, but i hear apathy is in bad shape.

I forgot about it and wonder if he could. I said no.

he quit after 600 or so, but i think he timed it poorly and the money wasn't big enough for him to care about after he got a bit sore and tired.

my buddy was there when they were doing it and said him and apathy were in about the same shape.

From this moment i knew there was no chance. apathy doesnt work out and sits in a chair all day.


some of you guys work out so you can do it. the bet isnt that hard for someone that works out alot.

I've done about 1000 sit-ups in a day. That sucks.

This will be insanely easy if you are good at pushups. Just do 80 tabata-style on the hour every hour from 8:00AM to 9:00PM.

You will spend ~50 minutes total doing the pushups at a rate of ~3s per pushup.

I did this with sit-ups. After a while... you just go numb.

Hmm...well I will try it with you J. Brown. Though I will probably start at 11:00 AM or so.

this is even easier than you think. it's over 24 hours. So he can do them, go to sleep, then wake up and do them again.
