Pretty nice achievement but healthy? What are your thoughts?

Ibrahim Lyanov won his family and himself an apartment in Magas, Russia, after hitting a new world record of 3720 push-ups in two hours.

I won’t comment on the safety of a kid doing thousands of pushups because I have no idea (doesn’t sound like a great idea though) but I would be more concerned about how the kid is being treated by his parents. His training regime must be pretty gruelling.

@manatus22 Actually never thought of that myself, I hope it's not all that bad...

Well there is a difference to be physically fit and all the stress that's been put on the joints of the little fella because of the push-ups I guess?

@picamon Unhealthy for kids to be physically fit?

Someone should tell Kilian Jornet, the greatest mountain runner ever, who was doing 3 week backpacking trips through the mountains when he was four years old, and who was biking 200 mile races at age ten
