James Harrison’s pushup challenge entry puts everyone else’s to shame

James Harrison’s biceps are basically things of legend. So, of course, Harrison would put everyone to shame with his version of the pushup challenge.

The retired Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker was one of the most fascinating characters to witness on “Hard Knocks” in 2013 (when he was playing for the Cincinnati Bengals). His fitness and recovery methods were diligent, thorough and, frankly, a little insane. For example: he endured 300 needles in acupuncture sessions. And his muscles were so dense that he often bent the needles, so they couldn’t properly hit the pressure points.

While taking part in the pushup challenge, he put both of his kids on his back, and did 10 pushups with ease. And then he kept going.

We get it, James. You’re stronger than us.
