Re: pushup prop bet

From: Irieguy

I did 1000 in 24 hours. Nobody can do 500 in 2 hours unless they are a gymnast or something.

I'm not a gymnast. I'm practically a geezer. I can do this. Those who would like to bet me I can't are invited to bet met I can't.

Well by that logic you should be able to 5760 pushups in 2 hours.

A solid crossfit Cindy score is "20", which is 200 push-ups in 20 minutes (as well as 100 pull-ups and 300 squats).

I think I can do this in 90 minutes-- an hour might be a stretch.

Forgive my uneducation - "solid crossfit Cindy"?

crossfit gives girl names to their workouts. apparently cindy has something to do with pushups + some other stuff probably.

Cindy is a name for a workout. The workout is: do as many rounds as you can in 20 minutes of 5 pull-ups, 10 push-ups, 15 squats. By solid I mean a good score that will be achievable by those with some dedication and an amenable body type for pull-ups and push-ups-- 20 is a good but unremarkable score.

I don't know who thinks of this as easy or hard, or how much of either. I know I and others could do it. I suspect a guy willing to take this prop can likely do it as well.

i think i could do 500 in 30 minutes or less, an hour would be so easy i would feel almost feel bad taking a prop bet on it. i do a workout like crossfit cindy, but i do 20 push ups, 20 squats, and 20 dumbbell swings, and im able to get 20 rounds in around 27 minutes, thats 400 pushups in about 26 minutes while im practically out of breath the whole time from the squats and swings.
