#41	Midwest October 17 at 11:38pm I would put money on Coach Hadsell at Toledo. The guy is in great shape and is an amature boxer as well. reply

#38	Anonymous Coward October 15 at 12:14pm too funny......you guys are a hoot! reply
#37	Rick C October 15 at 8:54am Great test. We tried it last week and I'm still sore. However, just this morning our Asst. Soccer Coach, Tony Hill knocked off 100 in 2:24!!! WR reply
#36	Sdfdsf October 14 at 10:09pm 1.) Nobody cares if you can do it if you don't have a video to prove it. 2.) Nobody cares if the push-ups are perfect. If you can't do it yourself, you have no room to talk. reply
#35	ThatWasFun October 14 at 9:21pm I wish to see any other coaches rise up to the challenge!But Im not sure of the other coaches I know who can compete. Afraid???? GO HAWKS! reply
#34	ThatWasFun October 14 at 8:46pm For the record, I made sure to go completely up to a lock elbow and then down to 5-6 inches from the ground. reply
#33	ThatWasFun October 14 at 8:45pm Did 70 in 1:10 and then took a break, should have gone to 80 at least. Because after the break my arms died. It took me another 1:10 to get the last 30. Ended up doing 100 in 2:20.43. Had to do 3x10 with breaks after the first 70. This is great! reply
#32	Get Dunn October 14 at 1:54pm I second that. Jason Dunn will do it. He might go as far and pump out the last 10 one-handed reply
#31	Littlenukbo October 14 at 1:12am barely no rest in between too! reply
#30	Littlenukebo October 14 at 1:09am man i bet the Coach was in his 40s mayb high 30s. @ least someones got the guts to attempt it. pretty impressive. p.s. could you get atheletes to do it?? like @ the next meet. German? Jenny B? just an idea for thought. reply
#29	SO WEAK October 13 at 10:41pm Let's make this legit in the future please..... reply
#28	Anonymous Coward October 13 at 9:22pm weak reply
#27	Ty October 13 at 8:50pm by the way, stop complaining about technicalities and get on the floo! reply
#26	Ty October 13 at 8:48pm this challenge is HARD. it has given my life new meaning. reply
#25	Distance Fan October 13 at 3:59pm Stop wasting your time with this push up nonsense! Another reason Americans keep chasing the Kenyans and Ethiopians. How many push ups do you think Haile can do? By the way, pull ups are the real deal. reply
#24	MikeyB October 13 at 3:51pm Did not locked out the elbows! If a "DI" (Drill Instructor) was over him none of them would of counted! reply
#23	Dunner October 13 at 3:44pm Get Jason Dunn to try this contest. He will do it. reply
#22	Chill October 13 at 3:42pm This is for entertainment and for fun... calm down on the "not legit", "his elbows need to be straightened" crap... props to Layne for having character and giving a good show... a lot of coaches I bet wouldn't even attempt this! reply

#17	Terrible Form October 12 at 10:50pm those were not pushups... try again reply
#16	Anonymous Coward October 12 at 10:01pm There should be an age group. Those guys in their 20's have a huge advantage. I got 100 in 2:30. reply

#1	Zach Yereb October 12 at 5:44pm well as a cross country runner at The Citadel I would like Layne Anderson to come down to his alma mater and challenge the team and bring flotrackr with him. Some members of the team and myself are currently enlisted in the militar and I think it would be an interesting competition :P reply

Iowa's Layne Anderson takes on the Pushup Challenge

After seeing Ryan's pushup challenge, University of Iowa Head Women's Coach Layne Anderson thought he would have a go at it. With his goals set high, Layne embarked on a journey that only few can fathom...100 pushups in under 2:47.

Not only did Layne attempt the record, but afterwards he went as far as to raise the challenge to NCAA coaches around the country. This weekend at the Pre-National meet in Terre Haute, lets see who will step up to the challenge...
