Re: 3 pointers made vs. pushups in 24 hrs

World record for 3pt made in 24 hours is : 6,272 and for push ups it's : 46,001.
They should make it interesting an make 1 3pt made worth 1,5 push up.

Re: 3 pointers made vs. pushups in 24 hrs

world records arent particularly relevant when one of the events is something that is extremely taxing on specific muscles.

Those world record push ups are usually bull**** tho. Don't get me wrong, those guys are freaks, but they barely have to go down and up at all to qualify as a push up.

Re: 3 pointers made vs. pushups in 24 hrs

Bet the farm on pushup guy, he can get to like 3K pretty easily. 3pt dude is gonna have to hoist around 10K shots to get there.

Re: 3 pointers made vs. pushups in 24 hrs

I agree with you guys. I posted that just to show what large difference is between on record and another.

looooool, this keeps getting better and better. Id be a TON of money he wouldnt make 25% if he was forced to shoot for an entire 24 hours.


The more you talk the the more it sounds like it actually might be a close bet, because the more obvious it becomes that the guy doing pushups is an idiot.

Should have to be Hand Release pushups IMO to guarantee no cheating and to make it more difficult.

Re: 3 pointers made vs. pushups in 24 hrs

Stopped reading after about 15 posts when I realized that almost all men think they are good 3-point shooters. So ****ing tilting. (Especially because I feel the same way)

Re: 3 pointers made vs. pushups in 24 hrs

Stop bringing up the world records. They mean absolutely nothing for this bet.

The records are done by people that train for it. The 2 guys in the bet are beer drinking smokers.

At first I was thinking the 3pt shooter would win this with no problem but the more I think about it I think the push up guy would win.

The shooter will waste a lot of energy chasing down the ball after he shoots.

huge psychological advantage too if pushup guy is laying on a towel on the gym floor with his laptop or a little tv just chillin all day. Oh, you made another shot, yawn, let me roll over and do a pushup so I can get back to watching my stories.

When one is 8x the other, yeah there is some meaningful info to be gleaned from them.

Re: 3 pointers made vs. pushups in 24 hrs

are people so easily forgetting some random 2+2er did 1k pushups in less than 6 hours?

http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/62...39/index2.html

If the guy shooting 3s can get 1k 3-pointers in 24 hours I'd be shocked.
