Thread: 5,000 pushups.

Consecutively?
I'd die.
100, probably 150, maybe 200, most likely not 300 but fucking 5,000?

You would have to do 208 every hour of the day. Considering you'll only be up 16 hours means you will have to do 313 per hour which equals 5 a minute. Doable, but is that how you want to spend a whole day? lol

That's doable!?

5 minute is easy to do, you wouldn't get tired at all..You'd just have to remember to keep doing it...

Just sit infront of your comp or tv lol

Yah, but you don't have to do 5, you have to do 5,000

yea, so 5 every minute for 16 hours lol

Come on you wimps.

That is the stupidest thing I have ever heard. Why would you only do 5 at one time? That's extremely monotonus and defeats the whole purpose of this being an actual workout.

I'm going to do 250 sets of 20 reps.

That's 1 set every 15 minutes for 17 hours and 15 minutes.

Of course I'll make it a lot easier on myself and not waste the entire day by doing them in clumps of sets, instead of spreading them out over the day.

I clocked myself at 22 seconds per set, and with 1 minute of rest between sets, I could probably get about
12 sets done in 20 minutes (considering I slow down as I get tired).

its not stupid if u want to do 5000 pushups and aren't physically capable of doing 20 reps

This is an awesome idea!

I'd need to work on it for a while first, though.

So, the record in 24 hours is 46,001. That's insane.

I could do 5,000 in 4 - 5 hours. It's not hard, just lengthy.

5000 is too much I'm really not going to waste my whole day

I'm gonna try to do 1000 push-ups in 4 hours & 10 minutes, 1 set of 20 reps every 5 minutes. I'll be back!

EDIT: Damn! My muscles failed after the seventh set. Did exactly 135 pushups in seven sets.

I can't even do one simple set let alone 5000 (from multiple sets). My upper body strength is TERRIBLE (really gotta work on that). I'm stronger from halfway down my abs and there on. (Yeah can't even work my upper abs cause of back probs. POS)

I applaud anybody that can do more than me (that's basically everybody lol). And holy effin shit @ Maverick. That's insane.

I have all the upper body strength of a sea cucumber. I think I *might* be able to do about five pushups in a row, but that's about it. I'm still surprised I passed P.E.

If you can do this, more power to ya!

No, no I can't. Not proper ones anyway lol. I can't even manage ONE proper pushup. Improper ones, I can manage like 3-5... lol. (I passed P.E. too hahaha. Go us.)
