I really wish we had some giant 2+2 mansion where we could do a giant prop bet with the morans who think that they could do this. I'd take as much action as I have money.

non-stop: 10,507; Minoru Yoshida (JAP), Oct 1980 DETAILS
one year: 1,500,230; Paddy Doyle (GBR), Oct 1988 - Oct 1989

This is just ridiculous, im pretty buff and usually do approx. 100 pushups per day, maybe 200. Might be worth the bet for like 10k, if you get like a couple of months to train for. Im not poor enough to do it for 200$. Id go for 10k though, that would be worth sacrificing a week of my life for.

This 7 day bet seems like a piece of cake. Take it - you'll have the pushups done in a day.

If you don't do push-ups regularly, the first day will hurt you too bad to win the bet.

I did 1000 in 24 hrs a couple months ago, just for the heck of it, and although I am well above average at pushups, I was quite sore the next day.

try doing 8 sets of 200 for just one or two days

after you feel what that's like you'll probably buy out of the bet

[/ QUOTE ]

obv if you do high sets like that it will kill u

but, if you slept for like 6 hours each day and otherwise did 1 or two pushups a minute, would it be as hard? ignoring the fact of going insane for doing pushups for 18 hours straight

[/ QUOTE ]

lol

that would be funny

you'd have to eat super fast meals... you could surf 2p2 while you wait in between the push ups

[/ QUOTE ]

i would consider doing this if i lived by myself

2 pushups per minute for 12 hours a day might work

1. 6 hours of pushups
2. 2 hour relax/food
3. 6 hours of pushups
4. 2 hour relax/food
5. 8 hours of sleep

repeat x7

ya that's what I was thinking. Given the amount of rest involved when doing 2 pushups per minute, if you keep yourself well hydrated and make the most of the rest time, I could see it being possible.
