Max Harding completes 1,000 push-ups in 8 hours 40 minutes using a five-every-2.5-minutes pace. He drinks a 460 mg caffeine mixture with his friend Hayden and battles wrist pain and mental strain, describing a high-as-fuck feeling without substances. He's already planning a faster attempt.
Attempting to do 1,000 push-ups. Yeah, I did this 2 years ago and it took me 23 hours and 45 minutes. So my goal is to cut that time in half and get 12 hours. But I can only do 34 push-ups. First push-up. Oh, my issue with this challenge last time was I would push my body to its utmost physical limit until I passed out. Oh my God, I can't do a push-up again. My man boobs are gonna pop. I'm icing and thermal gunning my chest. Now this time I am embodying the tortoise, and this is the tortoise and the hare strategy! Hahaha! Hahaha! Now every 2 and a half minutes, I am doing 5 push-ups on the dots, time and time again. This challenge is the equivalent of someone attempting to run a marathon that can't even run a single mile. The tourist is inevitable. The tourist endures and conquers the mountains. I'm over a fourth of the way done. I love challenges, not for the ego for winning, for the knowledge you find. Through suffering for something greater, you reach a part of your mind that everyday consciousness doesn't have access to. These realizations and strength you gain through going into hell is like nothing else. Once you learn to navigate hell, you can enter The divine is getting so, so much harder. This challenge exponentially gets harder. The first 250 were easy. Now every push-up takes my grueling strength. 475. This is not a challenge of the body. It's a challenge of the mind, the tortoise and the hare. We're making a caffeine mixture. This is my homie Hayden. Caffeine mixture right now. Whoa, I think one. I think one. This is 460 milligrams of caffeine. Oh my God, let's see how much I can drink. No, no, don't, don't, don't. That's a lot of caffeine. That's a lot of caffeine. Ah, I just finished 460 milligrams. Holy shit. And now I'm officially halfway. It's only been like 4 hours. This is gonna be so easy. Then no, it's, it's gonna get hard, but right now it feels really easy. Oh my God, what? I'm really awake. Whoa! Push-ups, push-ups! Push-up challenge, David Goggins! Nothing, you got nothing on me. I'm doing 1,000 push-ups. But right now I am wired in the middle of the sky. I only have 395 push-ups left. Freaking zen mode. I'm tired as fuck. My wrists are on freaking fire. I'm just listening to meditation music and then every 2 minutes doing 5 push-ups. 3, 4, 5. 850. I'm, I'm getting this done. I feel like I am high as fuck without any Substances whatsoever, but the challenge itself. Oh, hi! The relief, the cortisol in my brain. Has dropped. My cannabinoid system, the same neuroreceptor that interacts with weed, is flaring. I feel high as fuck while being sober as shit. I have completed the 1,000 push-ups in 8 hours and 40 minutes. Crushing my previous score of 24 hours. Like and subscribe. If this video gets 1,000 likes, I will try this challenge again because I want that world record of 19 minutes. I love you guys. Bye!
