that’s crazy!! The record for pull ups In a set at marine corps recruit depot San Diego when I attended was 138 I thought that was the most insane thing I ever heard of but 46k push ups in a day tops that IMO.
That is unbelievable! 138 pull-ups and 46k push-ups. So all of this is not just possible but reality.

You wonder how strict the reps really are when people talk about these records :^ / Not that it still wouldn't be extremely difficult but I can't see someone doing those amounts in perfect form.

The Guinness guidelines for the guy that set the 2800 in one hour dictate that his elbows have to hit a 90 degree bend or they don’t count. There’s video on YouTube of him doing it. Not sure about the 46k in a day. Not even sure how the hell you do over 1900 push ups per hour for 24 hours straight.

Seems like you would have to get some pretty good momentum going.

Why is it that hard work and impressive feats always stir up the haters. SMH, complaining about perfect form.

30 push ups a minute, 1 minute rest, this would take almost 4 hours to complete. No one who isnt training for a sport would spend that much time on something as silly as pushups. Now I will agree he is a genetic freak but come on no one at his age or for that matter any age is going to waste hours on push ups.

God no 30 pushups can be done within 20 seconds I use to do 90 within a single minute. And that's while still hitting 90 degrees. Cause it was for the army fitness test. You are watched by people. So this dude doing a shit ton more than me every single day. I'd say if he got that momentum going and got in the right rhythm he could probably go over 100 a minute. And with his shape that would last for a good few sets. For me I could rest 3-5min and do it again maybe 3 times. And my condition is and was nothing compared to him or his muscle endurance
