Bruh, it's HS football, they arent trying to be Navy SEALs. These coaches take themselves too seriously. I've heard of kids being denied water as well before. So stupid.

was in the Army and have been through Air Assault school and we never came close to that in an hour. The symptoms being described is called muscle failure.

No water breaks. I think that’s the problem.

400 pushups in an hour is a ton. That's 6 - 7pushups every minute. Muscle fatigue is almost guaranteed. I imagine most kids couldn't pull that off.
jesus fricking christ....
look i rail against the old school coaches that just want to make kids puke or think running 110s is good conditioning, but your take is assinine
its 7 pushups a min.
there should be no muscle fatigue. im 40 and can do that no problem
most atheltes, hell every high school aged male should be able to do that. it absolutely is not overkill at all.
productive...maybe, optimal....no, overkill and dangerous....get the frick outta here.
now if he denied water...hang his arse but doesnt sound like that was the case.
now in the end he should have recognized that many of the kids were out of shape and adjusted. forcing rhabdo is 100% not something you should be looking to come close to
but averaging 7 pushups a min is not something crazy. its 100% on the kids and parents for being so out of shape they cant handle that. also with them not taking nutrition and recovery serious

300 to 400 push-ups with no water breaks
Any coach enforcing a no water break strenuous endurance activity is asking for trouble, particularly as a punishment. I don't care what was done in the past, this eventually hurts someone. Good luck defending that in court no less.

A bunch of overweight pussies in this thread. At 16+ you felt like you could do pushups forever.
Wtf is wrong with the men here.

400 pushups is definitely alot. Very few high school kids are completing that workout. For the majority, your arms will feel like spaghetti. At that point, you're no longer doing pushups, but rather lying on the ground crying in pain.

I could do 100 push-ups at 16 without stopping
Received much worse punishments than push-ups, those were easy
This would make a fun spinoff of all the shitty things hs coaches made you do back when

Holy hell this take. This is peak OT right here. Let me guess you make 10 million a year and only bang OT 10s as well, right?
7 pushups in a minute is easy. That's not the problem. Doing 7 pushups every minute for 60 minutes will feel like absolute hell.
But you're right, tough guy. Doing 400 pushups is extremely easy. Let's see you video yourself doing it, is that cool?

You felt like you could do pushups forever until you had a coach that actually made you do pushups forever. Then, you learned in fact you could not actually do pushups forever.

Yeah…try it and tell us how you’re feeling after minute 10 knowing you have 50 to go

I think you're assuming a lot. You're in better shape than 98% of posters on this board (and Louisianans) and have done many, many, many pushups through the Greyskull lifting program
I also never said 400 pushups in an hour was dangerous. I simply said it's a lot.
Are y'all not realizing this is seven pushups every minute? Meaning you, at most, have 50 seconds to recover after each set? Clearly, muscle fatigue would set in.
shite, after minute 10 you're at 70 pushups with 330 to go. Think about that

7 pushups a minute should not be a problem for someone athletic enough to be a football player.
The coach should be excoriated for creating a junk volume/ timewasting workout. What a waste of an hour.
Pushups to fatigue with a 1 minute break in between sets for maybe 10-15 minutes would be way more effective, and the other 45-50 minutes could be used on something else.

The OT in a nutshell in this thread
People who have never done 100's of push-ups at one time "this should be easy for any high school athlete what's the big deal kids are pussies"
People who got smoked in the army "we never had to do anywhere near 400 and there are very few people who could do that"
