Title: world record: push-ups, pull-ups
Post by: carvedoutofwood on December 16, 2006, 11:09:27 AM

"Last month, Schott, a 42-year-old engineer who lives in Santa Rosa, set out to break the world record for most pull-ups in one hour. A week after he filmed himself doing 644 in 60 minutes, he got word from the folks at Guinness World Records that he was the new record holder -- beating the previous record by 71 pull-ups."Dec. 9th 2005

also, the world record for pushups is 10,507... obviously no time limit, but i think it took him something like 7 hours to complete...


i always thought i could do a lot of both, untill i read this...  but the most i ever did was senior year of high school durring wrestling season... 39-pull, 155 (forget the exact #) pull

Mr.Intenseone broke that record by 500 25 years ago but he doesn't have proof of it.

damn i could easily set a new world record on the pullups, but that many pushups is insane  though i wouldnt even feel like trying that many

It's funny to watch these guys do it, they look like a fuggin' chicken going crazy bobbing their head up and down for reps!  Monster 2" arm bending!

I once saw some record breaking push-up attempt on tv.  They were maybe quarter reps.  It was embarrassing to watch.

I don't think people realize how hard the pullup thing would be.  You're talking a pullup ever 5.5 seconds for an hour straight.  That's counting the time doing the rep.
