So after looking at the other thread I would just want to say that the rhabdo very likely wasn't from dehydration.

Rhabdo can also occur from just over exertion. I want to say it was Corey Hill on season 2 of The Ultimate Fighter actually put himself into exercise-induced rhabdomyosis.

I can't imagine a kid having the strength of will to actually do it though. To even get there you have to ignore quite a few biological red flags telling you to slow down.

Hershel Walker did 3,500 pushups a day for a while and when he was in MMA he did 1,500 a day. You can slice that how you want but In a 16 hour awake day that is roughly 219 push-ups and hour for 16 hours or roughly 100 an hour for 16 hours. I’m sure he didn’t work our 16 hours a day. More like 4 probably. That’s roughly 900 an hour. Soy boys!


I’m sure Hershel wouldn’t embellish…

This equates to 1 every 9 seconds. Suspect this would be out of reach for 99.9% of the US population.

No chance in hell that’s extreme. Dudes doing 80-110 in 2 minutes in infantry boot camp.

I would say that to 99.9 percent of the population, yes. I was in the Army and have been through Air Assault school and we never came close to that in an hour. The symptoms being described is called muscle failure.


The most dreaded words we could hear from Drill Sgt. Connor was “drop and push until I get tired.

Rockwall Tx… just down the road, basically same town is Heath.

Two 6a high schools. Battle of interstate 30.

I’ve lived in Heath and Rockwall…

Heath student parking lot—Mercedes, porches, Land Rover, it’s sick.

Parents—they create these kids.

A few Heath coaches back… parents flew a plane around town one afternoon for several hours with a banner behind it saying fire the then head football coach.

My friends call the kids that go to school here the “fat, rich kids.”

Another poster a few pages back who is also from here is correct in his post—several high profile players transferred out. Not a great year for Heath either in football.

There is a righteousness around this community that is like nothing I’ve ever seen.

Crazy stuff could come out of all of this!

We already went through it and it doesn’t matter they were doing 7 every min. The class was 50 min- dress out time so like 35-40 min and it was sets of 16, so 25 sets, roughly once every 65-70s with “drills” in between.

Nobody can do that

20 sets of 20 in an hour with breaks available?


Breaks available? 20 sets in an hour is 3 minutes per set INCLUDING rest. There is no way to divide up that workload in a way that provides any substantial muscular benefit to outweigh the significant danger.

This coach was:
A. a-hole
B. Moron
C. Both

Kids, several, got rhabdo. Do you know how big of a moron you have to be to work a high school kid to that point?

I have no idea what your babbling about Mercedes and Land Rovers has to do with anything other than trying to subtle brag.

That’s one push-up every 9 seconds. I can do that and I’m old. Boomer.

Even so, the coach used poor judgment. The kids are what they are. This won’t change behavior. Whatever their problem, it’s ingrained by now. The coach and staff are just pissing into the wind.

The best way if possible is 50 per set, 8 total sets. If it takes you 1 second per rep, that is 1 minute, then almost 7 rest so 8 total minutes per set

Minute: 1, 9, 17, 25, 33, 41, 50, 58 you do your sets. I would say that's the best but not a lot of people can do 50 a once. Guess doing 25 in 16 sets with 4 minutes or so between works so 4:30 per set

1, 5:30, 10, 14:30, 19, 23:30, 28, 32:30, 37:00, 41:30, 46, 50:30, 55, 59:30 that gets you 14 sets of 25 so not quite there

I take it you haven't done a pushup in a while?

I lift more often than 95% of the posters here. I also weigh out the grams of rice I eat.

There's no easy answer to this, but I think getting more rest between sets is more important than more sets and less rest. My opinion
