I think he meant he wishes people would say they could do 1k push ups in a couple of hours. I think I am gonna try and trick my meat head room mates into bets like these. I could use some spare cash.

3000 in 24hrs is free money.

I'm guessing you are going to lose this. If he was eager to get action from you on this, he probably has it in the bag.

Many people take the gallon of milk challenge with huge confidence too. Doesn't mean they have any idea of what they can actually handle.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yeah, but those people don't usually offer the prop, they accept it. This whole thing started with the guy coming in and saying "hey, I bet you $50 I can do 4k push ups in a day" and negotiating from there, very strange.

Maybe I am just cynical, but when I left home to be a degen, my father took me aside and said "son, I'm sorry I can't stake you to a proper bankroll, but instead let me give you some advice. One day in your travels you will meet a man who will show you a brand new deck of cards upon which the seal has not been broken. This man will offer to bet you that he can make the jack of spades jump out of the deck and squirt cider in your ear. But you will not take this bet son, because as sure as you are standing there you will end up with an ear full of cider."

At any rate, Guys and Dolls aside, I am much more leery of prop bets people offer me than of prop bets I offer them.

[/ QUOTE ]Awesome.

ok some [censored] just went down

apparently he "misunderstood" the bet

calls me up today insisting that we agreed on 6 hours (which is bull we agreed on 4)

says he has a witness who says we shook on 6 (wrong)

im a nice guy so i let him out of it and we agreed on 6 hours

still free money

[/ QUOTE ]
I don't know, I think 6 hours is doable.

1000 pushups in six hours is definitely doable if he paces himself well, you should have held your ground on 4.

I'll weigh in here...I've made a similar bet and thought I had it. Me and my buddy bet $50 each, that our semi big 190lb 5'8 friend couldn't do a thousand pushups in 1 hr, right after he did a big chest workout...I lost. He's a freak though and can bench 315 over 15 times so his bodyweight even when he was exhausted wasn't to hard for him. He was a pollack and bought vodka with the cash after and got wasted lol. The moral, it is doable just depends on the person....4 hrs should be nothing.

[/ QUOTE ]

Wow, this guy is a monster. I'm pretty sure OP will lose this bet, but people also underestimate how much pain OP's friend will be in. If he has any biomechanical inefficiencies, he may well damage one or both shoulders through repetitive strain. (And a lot of people who would brag about benching BW for 10 reps are the sort to have poorly stabilized shoulders.)
