Re: 1000 Push ups per day
[ QUOTE ]
That said, I could probably do 1,000 in one day if I "had" to. It's definitely possible... but do "1,000 pushups a day," as in, "every day" = your friend is full of [censored]. [/ QUOTE ] I wouldn't call him a liar. You make it sound like it isn't possible. It's far from impossible. Depending on how you break down your sets, this is a breeze for a lot of people. Check out Herschel Walker's wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herschel_Walker "Walker stated in a phone interview on The Jim Rome Show on November 20, 2006 that he still performs 2500 situps and 1500 pushups every morning. He has been going through this same routine every morning since high school."

Re: 1000 Push ups per day
[ QUOTE ]
I doubt someone cold, as in not normally working out, could do this. They would be so stiff and sore after ~100 and pretty much be kicked for the day. It would be a struggle to keep up any kind of pace in reps at that point. I guess it's mind over matter though so it might be possible. [/ QUOTE ] Ok, I feel like failing a challenge. About myself, 27 male. 6'1" 165. Not very strong. I don't know my max bench, but it's not very much (maybe 120 or so). I'll give this a try on Saturday or maybe tomorrow. 1000/16 = ~60 an hour.

[/ QUOTE ] You know, how much strength & endurance does it take to do 1 pushup? Not much at all really. If you had the dedication to do 1 pushup every minute for 16.7 hours, I think anyone could really do this then.

Re: 1000 Push ups per day
ok, but realistically that's not how I'm going to do it. Probably try for 10 sessions doing 4 sets of 25 (depending how it goes). No out of shape person could do 1000 in a session. What is it? some kind of acid build up or something like that occurs.
Edit: Ok, no way I'm completing this challenge. 15 push ups has me feeling it. lol

Re: 1000 Push ups per day
Do ladders. Let's say as an example your max is 25. Do something like sets of 10, 12, 14, 16, 14, 12, 10 with one or two minutes rest in between. Whatever you do, don't work to exhaustion in any of your sets. The example I gave is 88 pushups in 15-20 minutes.

Re: 1000 Push ups per day
[ QUOTE ]
i use to do 400 pushups and 500 situps a day in about 25 minutes. 1000 would be no problem. [/ QUOTE ] 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.
