Watch This Guy Attempt the 1-Rep "Impossible Pushup"
"I think this is going to be a lot more challenging than it sounds," says Shaw.
Before he attempts to do it, he researches if the Impossible Pushup is in fact a safe thing to try and do (more on that in a moment). He learns that the movement is also referred to as an Isometric Static Hold Pushup, and that the exercise can produce muscle tension.
On his first attempt, Shaw struggled. On the way down, he looks strong and controlled. And as his timer hits 1:30, he starts to push back up. But he doesn't last long.
With only 35 seconds left before finishing, he breaks and loses the rep.
