#56	Anonymous Coward November 10 at 5:06pm What a badass team room!! reply
#55	John Valentine November 9 at 7:51pm yeah, the counter did get a little carried away after the 50 mark, but who the hell cares, he broke that record by way more than one pushup would add. reply
#54	Anonymous Coward November 5 at 10:39pm Remember you have to be a coach... Why are random people claiming this isn't the record? Who are you? Hayes should know how to do a push-up considering his background with the armed forces... A push-up is a push-up. It's strategy any way you decide to do it. He's just a smart man COACH HAYES, MOST INTELLIGENT COACH reply
#53	Dan Knewitz October 28 at 11:11pm When's German's video going up? I just saw it, and I don't want to spoil it, but he does far far better than I anticipated. reply
#52	Anonymous Coward October 28 at 2:29pm previous comment was about the brent ewing video.. coach hayes was legit. reply
#51	Anonymous Coward October 28 at 2:27pm love the self promotion lol. everyones form gets pretty bad towards the end but these were half push ups from the get go. and you seem like a tool. reply
#50	Ac October 28 at 1:03pm BRD, nice VNeck, when are you going to get good at running again? reply
#49	Anonymous Coward October 28 at 12:42pm The last few were the only real pushups. Dude barely went up. reply
#48	Pasdssd October 28 at 2:31am I bet Alan Webb can do 100 pretty fast. reply
#47	Anonymous Coward October 27 at 11:21pm they skipped one pushup at around 60 but wouldn't make any difference on the breaking of the record. reply
#46	Anonymous Coward October 27 at 7:44pm German is not a coach. Doesn't matter. Most of these guys could do that at German's age. reply
#45	Kj October 27 at 7:38pm If yuo want to see a new record for the pushup challenge german fernandez is way ahead reply

#39	Sore Loser October 27 at 11:17am Other coaches take note, he used a wide arm stance and that makes it easier. The closer in your hands are the higher you have to lift. reply

#16	Anonymous Coward October 26 at 7:20pm he doesnt even completely straighten his arms or get his chest close to the floor. reply
#15	Brian RhodesDevey October 26 at 7:12pm man id hate to be that counter! oops reply
#14	Ryan From Flotrack October 26 at 7:10pm Coach Hayes actually told me the other day that the he thought there was a miss count. We are going to incorporate a 5 sec penalty for the pushup that was missed. New Record Time = 2:21 As you heard, he will try it again at NCAAs so we'll get it again! reply
#13	Littenukebo October 26 at 7:02pm man the guy counting was give the Coach a head start on all the counts... ah well.. wide-grip? rite? reply
#12	Nick Rollo October 26 at 6:59pm i caught myself clapping and cheering so he would make 2:20... reply
#11	Anonymous Coward October 26 at 6:45pm record cannot be ratfied because it was only 99 pushups. the counter messed up at 50 something. reply
#10	J October 26 at 6:42pm I second that it was only 99. That makes 2:16 unofficial. He definately would have still had it but it would be closer to 2:20 and when you get down to the elite level...those seconds count...just ask Teg. reply
#9	Karl October 26 at 6:16pm I would like a recount. Watch when he gets to 55 the counter messes up. It was only 99. reply
#8	Anonymous Coward October 26 at 6:15pm BRD!!!!!!! reply
#7	Chris Knapp October 26 at 6:08pm Amanda said: “wait, is this 100 push ups straight with no break, or are you allowed to rest for a little, and the goal is just to finish 100 as fast as possible? I can only do about 40 push ups straight through with no rest!” The goal is to finish 100 as fast as possible. It doesn't matter whether you go straight through or take breaks. The clock just keeps running untill you finish 100 reply
#6	UTisthePlace2BE October 26 at 5:53pm AHHH coach hayes is a beaaaast! Amazing coach and amazing performance! Hook em!!!! See yall longhorns at nationals reply
#5	Stacey October 26 at 5:49pm Way to go babe!! reply

#3	Amanda October 26 at 5:25pm wait, is this 100 push ups straight with no break, or are you allowed to rest for a little, and the goal is just to finish 100 as fast as possible? I can only do about 40 push ups straight through with no rest! reply
