I tweeted: "I will do as many push ups + pull ups next 30 days as this tweet gets likes, retweets & comments. No number is too high. Bring it." It got 20,000, which is 4+ times more than what I was originally mentally prepared for. Still, I said I'll do it, so I will. This is likely the toughest physical and mental thing I've ever done. In 30 days, I will do 20,000 push-ups + pull-ups, 35,000 bodyweight reps, and run 180 miles. For 30 days, every day I'm doing the following: - 6 miles running - 510 push-ups - 170 pull-ups - 170 ab rollers - 340 squats That's 34 rounds of: - 15 push-ups - 5 pull-ups - 5 ab rollers - 10 squats Target time for 1 round above (including rest) is 2 minutes. This may not be feasible. We'll see.

I ran 48 miles. Got it done. For me, this was exceptionally difficult, mentally & physically. I recorded a clip after each session, saying something I'm grateful for. Thanks to David Goggins for the challenge, and to my stubborn brain for refusing to quit.

Impromptu pushup challenge with David Goggins and commentary by Joe Rogan and Whitney Cummings. In 2022, David and I agreed to do a long-overdue full challenge together including a podcast before and after it.
