I don't think I Could even lift my arms 92xx times in 6hrs. Lying on my back.

But he doesn't look ripped in the picture, so, I think it's a hoax.

:p

i seem to remember a study finding younger kids are much stronger for there size then adults.

another study had navy seals fallowing 2 year olds around. climbing on furniture (the same size. so the couch was 4ft high etc) doing the same things 2 year olds do. The navy seals could not keep up with the 2 year olds. I found that amazing. But after watching my daughter climb up on the couch just to jump off and do that 100 times i now believe it.

I believe it, in 4th grade in our final physical fitness test for PE I did over 200 pull-ups (they said to keep going as long as you could). But 9263 push-ups!!! That's insane, and the fact that he didn't get too bored to continue while doing is amazing too.

So what. Let's see him take on Richard Sandrak, the Little Hercules. I say an all out brawl will do it.

200 pullups? You sure you don't mean 20. I could do about 15 in PE, and I was considered good. 200 seems a bit high...

He wouldn't be. All he's doing is lifting his own body weight over and over again, he isn't gradually increasing his weight so his muscles aren't challenged beyond that point. Now, if he had a fat kid sit on his back, then he'd be getting somewhere.
