The Godfather of Fitness, Jack Lalanne at the age of 45 completed 1,000 pushups and 1,000 chinups for the fastest time in 82 minutes. This feat was accomplished in 1959 where his show The Jack Lalanne Show went nationwide.
Alicia Weber, a multiple pull-up, chin-up, and pushup world record holder considers this feat as her favorite feat that Jack Lalanne performed. According to Wiki, Jack considered this to be his most difficult stunt only because the skin on his hands started ripping off during the chin ups.
Alicia Weber has been building up to the 1000/1000 and found the same difficulty that Jack had with the skin ripping off during the chin ups.
Alicia has been working on the 500 chin up and 500 pushup (Jack Lalanne Mini Challenge). She first performed it on Jan 31, 2012, in 54:14, and sixty days later she knocked ~ 5 minutes off her time to set an official world record in 49:40 on Record Setter for Fastest Time to Complete 500 Chin ups and 500 Pushups.
