That aside, I received quite a bit of backlash when I was talking about that idea. Even doing the 300 in a day I received multiple messages telling me how bad it was and how I was opening people up to injury. I don’t want to be responsible for someone hurting themselves, so I say 100 a day is the right move and to add other exercises if that isn’t enough.
O.k.. Fair enough. You are not so excited about trying to get to 1,000 pushups in a day, yet I could give less than a ratt's ass concern about if members injure themselves because they fail/refuse to account for their own physical abilities and/or limitations in terms of goals that they might enter into as influenced by this thread or some of the posts within the thread, which might not even be true representations of what guys are actually doing.
Members need to take responsibility for their own choices, whether it comes to bitcoin investing or pushup quantities.
Should I place a disclaimer on my posts that say something in regards to this is not pushup advice.. .. I expect such disclaimer is implied, but yeah, maybe it does not hurt to throw out a disclaimer from time to time in the event that some members might end up over doing or under-doing their own pushup quantities based on what they read in this thread (or individual posts, such as mine, yours or any other supposedly influential forum member).
Maybe part of the reason that theymos does not disclose his pushups in this thread it because he does not want to take responsibility for his influence over others.. hahahahhaha..
Maybe I (or another pushup thread participant?) should call theymos some kind of negative name to the extent that he really exists beyond being a bot, to attempt to shame him into participating in pushups and/or into posting pushup reports?
I'm not saying that people shouldn't try to do 1,000 push-ups in a day either. I'm just saying I don't want to encourage behavior that could potentially cause someone injury. I don't think that is a controversial position to take after hearing the feedback I received when floating the idea. That doesn't mean someone who is great shape couldn't do it safely. In fact, here's a video showing someone doing 1,000 pushups in a short period of time:
I don't understand where theymos comes into this and am against the suggestion of calling him names in an attempt to shame him.
