Totally fucked my diet up this summer. Got off work for 2 weeks due to going to Turkey and eating like a tank on their traditional food, then coming home and resting, returning to work and then resuming my lazy diet yet again. Going to do this starting next week, going to be helpful getting warmed up for the rest of winter.
240 seems really low... Lets do some mathQuote:

my max is 40 hardstyle pushups, multiplied with 12 hours a day.. do I sleep 12 hours a day? no, but it's highly likely I'll skip one or two repeats daily
also it's not the point to do as much as possible in two weeks, frequency and % per day varies and for a good reason, you can't just senselessly workout the same muscle for two weeks

and honestly, I'd like to see an average person do 30 proper hardstyle pushups :) wouldn't be ashamed for that either

World Records for Push-Ups
World record for continuous push-ups is more than 10K. Wut.
World record in 1 year is 1.5 million, which is ~4100 a day. Wat.
World record in 30 minutes is 2354. :zippy: I feel like calling bullshit on those.
74 per minute is doable, but 30 minutes straight? who knows..
The videos of "world record" push-up holders on YouTube I've seen have shown people going between the angles of 60 degrees and 80 degrees. I'm not sure how world records are judged, but from my understanding they require a complete push-up, from straight (not locked) to 90 degrees and back, which in proper form is like 5x as difficult as a quarter of a push-up like those videos demonstrate. It's also hard to do more than one per second for any extended period of time unless you have incredible cardiovascular fitness. Even one every 3 seconds is a pretty high pace for most.Quote:

230 pushups at monday, 300 yesterday, today I'm supposed to do 24 every 45 minutes, which should be about 340 in total.. I'm starting to doubt I can do this.. it's called the evil russian challenge for a reason. Today is one of the worst day though, tomorrow I'm supposed to do only 25% of my maximum.

I'm actually using "hardstyle" pushups since I hurt my shoulder. I've only been doing sets of 5 reps but it's getting me there!
Insane.
I did a shit load after eating today, going to rest, drink and get back to it in a little while.
