There is no cheating. He has the whole 26.2h to do w/e he wants and he has to complete all the tasks before the end. I don't think it is a good idea to break up his running into every mile though because it would really stop you from getting into that rhythm. The pull ups are defiantly going to be hard. | ||

Give it 1 hour and 262 pullups will be done, with time left aswell. Please do a video where you are doing 262 pull ups (clean) in 60 minutes, because I doubt you can. Its just pure bullshit and every pro coach and athlete will tell you with a clean execution its not possible. I doubt its possible if you rush it, but gl. Ofcourse you can (if you are trained) do ~20 in below a minute, but its >13 times 20.. and it won't get easier. | ||

I think Tyler should do mid-grip pull ups, those are the best. Chin-ups have a very short explosive range of motion. | ||

I will, however, walk 2.62 miles, very slowly, drink 2.62 liters of soda (19 years old :D), eat 2.62 donuts, do 2.62 pull-ups (then fall over and die), and win 2.62 ladder games (it will only take me 50 games to accomplish this) in 2.62 weeks. Why? Because fuck yeah, that's why. hahahahah xD | ||

The world record for pull-ups (the lower image) is actually fairly low. I don't remember, it was between 100 and 200 I think. Now, that is of course consecutive reps without rests so it is a bit different, but it still gives you an idea. | ||

The things I'm adding to it (sc2 wins and pull-ups) don't significantly effect the difficulty of the running and drinking combination. I'll be doing everything I can to mitigate the strain I'll be putting on my body. My wife is a 4th year medical student and she'll be with me the whole time and we're using our collective knowledge and resources to research and prepare as best as possible. The main reason I'm not worried is that I'm not going to keep drinking if it feels like it's going bad. I'll simply do the rest of the challenge and say "well, turns out I'm not a good enough drinker to complete this challenge, gl to the next guy" Atm we have a rough estimation that I'll be accumulating 1/3 of a drink per hour, so I'll finish with about 8-9 drinks in me. If you've had 12 drinks in a 5 hour period, then you've been as drunk as I will be. My BAC should not get to levels that an ER would find extremely dangerous. But of course when combined with the exercise and perhaps my refusal to sleep when my body wants to sleep, it gets more difficult. I'm gonna go into it fully rested, I'm going to stay hydrated as well as possible, and I'm going to supplement my alcohol and doughnuts with as much nutrition as possible. I appreciate the legitimate concerns but I hope to convince you that I'm aware of all of them and that I'll be taken care of and I won't force myself to finish if it's going bad, so that you the viewers can relax and enjoy rather than worry. Thanks! :D I'm glad you've planned out well, but my concerns were directed more at other people who might try to copy you and participate in the event (since it is worded as a challenge) who might not know what they are getting into. | ||
