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.

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.

So you're saying that you weigh 140.

1000 seems like a ton. When I was a tot I used to sleep on my uncle's back while he would do push ups all morning, I guess the motion put me to sleep or something. My uncle was really into martial arts and he said that he would do 500 (he never said he did 1000), the thing is is that I don't remember him stopping, they were continuous.

A lot depends how strict or loose your form is, much like pull ups.
