My Paddy Doyle Challenge

First I should probably put the disclaimer out there:  I do not know and in no way have any endorsement from Paddy Doyle to advertize for him.  I just want to say he is a hard core athlete and I wanted to attempt some of his crazy feats.  So with that said please dont sue me Mr. Doyle.

So Angry!

Ok, So there is no way I can do or even attemp all of his recored because there is somewhere between 150-200 records that he holds.....about 200 more than me.  Some being european records and others being Guinness Book Records.  There are several books, sights, and articles dedicated to his feats of endurance.  The man is insane and is probably the most fit guy in the world.  When I first read these records I thought it was pretty far fetched, but Guinness Book confirmed them and there are plenty of videos to back it.  This man hold records like:

Most push-ups on back of hands in an hour with a 40lbs pack-663
Most burpies in one hour-1,850 (no thats not a typo)
Fastest mile run with 40lbs pack-6:56
Most squats in one hour-4,708 (insane)
13 exercises of the World Marathon Fitness Challenge- 18:56:09 list
Most consecutive martial arts bouts-141
This CAN'T Be good for the joints!

Again the man is insanly fit.  I am going to try only 5 of these records and beat none of them I am sure.  But I would like to see how close I can come along with a few more victims.  I plan on adding to the list and trying new ones in the future if I have fun with this but lets just start small for now. I will attempt the following listed with thier original record:

push ups 1hr-1,705
sit ups 1hr with 50lbs plate-1,130
squats in 1hr-4,708
burpies in 1hr-1,850
15in step ups 40lbs pack 1hr-1,619






I will have to space these out and do maybe 1 or 2 a week, because I am coming off of an injury and am a little out of shape, and honestly I will be dead after each one.haha  But this should be fun and atleast a good workout....and who knows, maybe I can beat one.....yea right.  So!  You can expect my next post to be on two of these insane feats, I just pray I dont hurt myself trying this out.....
