1000 Push ups per day

I have a friend who claims he used to do 1000 push ups a day. He is quite strong for his size, but I felt like he was exaggerating. I called him out on it and he defended his position. I still don't believe him. What do you guys think? Do you know of anyone who can or does a 1000 push ups a day? Is it even possible for an average person aka not a body builder or fitness freak. Even people in jail don't do that many push ups.

Love that last line. I'm pretty sure I could do this in a day.

the navy seal training has 400 push ups a day.

I think it's doable. At one point I was doing 400-500 (total in a day) and I was a pussy.

I know lots of people that could probably do it. I don't think I know anyone that actually would though.

so, so easy if I wanted to.

Just do 50 or even 25 at a time, it would be super easy.

i use to do 400 pushups and 500 situps a day in about 25 minutes. 1000 would be no problem.

LMAO someone call guiness.

Prop bet on that?

Ridiculous.

If you did 400 pushups and it took you 2 seconds a piece for all 400 and 500 situps @ 2 seconds a piece for all 500 situps it would take you 30 minutes.

LMMFAO at people who exaggerate like this on the internet.

exaggerate? It actually only takes me roughly 15 seconds to do 20 pushups. and about 40 seconds to do the 25 situps. My workout (this portion of it) consisted of 10 continuous sets of 20 pushups/25 situps, then about a 2 minute rest, then 10 more continuous sets. Adding time to spin around and switch between pushup and situp form makes it about 25 minutes.

another point of measure, my first set for tabata pushups, i did roughly 45 pushups.
