Yea, um no way in hell.

Math #1
((9.8N * 30Kg) * 0.5M) * 9 = 1323 Joules per pushup at a normal person's efficency of 10%.
1323J * 50 pushups/min = 66150 Joules/minute
1 joule = 0.00239 Calories
66150 * 0.00239 = 158.09 calories/minute
158.09 Cal * 200 minutes = 31618 Calories or 3161800 calories (small C)
31618 calories / 2500 calories = 12.64 lbs of weight lost (1 lb of fat = 2500 calories)

More Math
it takes 1 calorie (little C) to raise 1 gram of water 1 degree C.
3161800 calories / (36 Kg * 1000) = 878.2 degrees C

Even More math
1 watt = 1 joule/second
66150 Joules/minute / 60 = 1102.5 watts

So if he did 10,000 pushups he would have lost about 12.64 lbs of body mass in that 200 minutes. Also, his body produced the equivelent of 3.3 kilowatt hours of electricity. My house uses less. Assuming his body is 100% water, that is enough calories to raise the tempeature of 30Kg of water by 878.2 degrees.

Your forgetting that atleast 1/2-1/4 his weight is on his toes at any one time (you could find this by using the angle sin mass thingy, its been awhile), I doubt his arms are long enough to equal .5M maybe 1ft or .3M , and he probably only weighs 15-20kg, not 70lb

Fine, assume he weighs 20 Kg and a quick math of 2/3 of weight lifted the pushup distance. But I still stick with the .5M. That's < 1.5 feet, which would make him about 4' 4" tall. That should be about right. Take all the results and divide in half (roughly, I don't feel like doing the math again) It is still impossible, and would still raise his tempeatre by 1/3 less than I said above. He's still just as dead.

 
Hehe, I just saw some Korean docudrama about him- he seems like the leal deal!😀
He really wants to impress, his dad is not pushing him in the least.

He's obviously using his chi (or kai).

I for one, call bs. I'd like to see anyone do 10,000 squats carrying no weights. You work out those muscles every day and probably couldn't do 10,000.
It is possible because he have weight advantage, however I would like to see it to believe.

I use to do 600-800 pushups in 12-15 minutes every other nights.

Wow, you are even faster than the kid at 53 pushups per minute. When your arms burst into flames from the heat buildup what do you put it out with? Do you use halon?

Well, when we use the "in a single breath" phrase in Chinese, usually it means to just get it done all at once or in one shot. Not literally one breath.

Aaaah, that makes sense 😛
