1,500 push ups. 3,500 sit ups. Daily.

300 and 300 is not even a warmup for HW. He's a legendary fitness nut. He's an old man in that photo, and he doesn't lift to get that physique (all body-weight exercises).

1,500 and 3,500 daily does not mean 1,500 and 3,500 in a row at one time. Plenty of people in football and MMA (and ballet dancing), have talked about his workout routine.

Bruce Lee was the same way, except Bruce lifted some weights. HW will just bust out a hundred pushups during a commercial break when he's watching TV. Or at any given random moment when there's a couple minutes to kill.

Shit works, too. I started doing this a while back. I'm not nearly at his intensity, but I started out being able to do 15-20 before I ran out of gas and can do about 70 in my first set now. The physical difference is noticeable and it doesn't take a bunch of time or energy, you just do like 30-50 sets a day. It only takes about a minute each time. Do them during a commercial break in your show, or every time your boss sends you another stupid email or w/e.

Bas Rutten is another guy who just does calisthenics.

Meanwhile, everybody who has actually known him and worked with him, for decades, has talked about it.

It could all be an elaborate conspiracy theory though.

Maybe those muscles are all implants.

No offense to navy SEALS, but they're not world class athletes, that's not what they train for, and they don't train from childhood, every single day without fail. Herschel Walker has been a manic fitness nut his entire life, every day, and walked onto an Olympic bobsled team despite never having been in a bobsled. He is an incredibly humble and modest Christian man who has never shown a scintilla of interest in promoting himself. Anyone who actually knows anything about him is likely very offended by your ignorant and entirely incorrect criticisms of him. You really should shut the hell up and go read up on Herschel Walker.

Navy SEALs fitness test top result is 100 sitps in 2min

I knew this was bullshit as soon as I read it. I used to do 100 situps in about 90 seconds.

From the article:

Minimum number is 52 in 2 minutes, but you should strive for at least 100 in 2 minutes for an average score.
