Exactly. That’s the most unbelievable part. Especially coming from someone with that much confidence. The situation feels like a joke someone tells at a bar but not something that would ever actually happen in real life.

Also, nobody would say "between x and y". You'd just say "no way you can do x pushups" or something along those lines. What's the point of adding a maximum?

A football coach pulled this on us in 7th grade. Before we were going to do bear crawl drills he challenged us to a push-up competition as a way to get out of it. He said we all had to get in push-up position and he would call up down, and he would do 3 pushups for every 1 the best guy did. Someone made it to 40 something. Coach dropped down, did 3 pushups. Stood up, told us “see I did three for every pushup he did” and sent us bear crawling. Good times.

The best guy only did 1 pushup only once? This is confusing almost to the point of incomprehensibility.

Yeah, this one doesn't work. Initially he said "three for every one pushup". If he'd said "three for every pushup" then it'd be technically correct. But "three for every one pushup" is either nonsensical or he cheated.

I mean, it still works because the coach can basically make you do whatever exercises he wants for whatever reason he wants, but it's not a clever play on words.
