Push-Ups
For some people, doing one push-up is a sin, so what about those that do 100's?
QUOTE For the records:
1. The body must remain straight throughout, I.e., no bending at knees or waist. The body must be lowered until at least 90 degree-angle is attained at the elbow. The body must then be raised until the arms are straight. This equals one push-up. This basic principle applies to all our push-up entries with minor modifications.
2. Finger tip: instead of the palm of both hands touching the floor, only the finger tips (including the tip of the thumb) may touch.
3. One arm: Only one arm may be used and the same arm must be used throughout the attempt. In this attempt the hand is placed flat on the floor.
4. One finger: Only one finger of one hand may be used. The thumb may not be used. The record is for the number of repetitions; no rest breaks are permitted. The one-finger position must be maintained throughout. The side of the index finger must v ot be used as this means other parts of the hand will come in contact with the ground and therefore invalidate the attempt.
* Non-stop: 10,507; Minoru Yoshida (JAP), Oct 1980 DETAILS
* One year: 1,500,230; Paddy Doyle (GBR), Oct 1988 - Oct 1989
* 24 hours: 46,001; Charles Servizio (USA), 24/25 April 1993 at Hesperia
(new record claim, not yet verified: Jeffrey Warrick (USA), 46300)
* 1 hour: 3,877; Bijender Singh (IND), 20 Sept 1988
[note: This record was not published in the Guinness Book of Records. The Guinness Record is 3416 by Roy Berger (CAN) on 30 Aug 1998 in Ottawa (DETAILS)]

QUOTE HOW TO DO THE MOST PUSHUPS
Gabe Mirkin, M.D.
If you want to be able to do 100 pushups, don't try to do as many pushups as possible every day. If you try to do as many pushups as possible, you will tear your muscles. All training is done by stressing and recovering, and interval sets. So you go harder on one day, feel sore on the next and go easy until your muscles feel fresh again.

Comments: Wow, 10,000 pushups is insane. I was considered a beast in my school for doing 51 the right way, and was sore for 4 or 5 days afterwords. Good job for the record holder.
