Joe Rogan proved that he is a force to reckon with, even at 55. The former martial artist showcased his still-awesome fitness levels as he went for 75 push-ups in a row on an episode of ‘The Joe Rogan Experience’.
Rogan was also joined by the noted standup comedians and podcasters Ari Shaffir, Tom Segura, and Bert Kreischer for the episode. The quartet went on to discuss a volley of stuff, including a discussion about who among them would be able to do the maximum number of push-ups in a row.

Kreischer kicked off the push-up discussions by stating, “Who do you think can do the most push-ups right now?”. Rogan was very confident of his feat in this aspect. He stated, “Definitely me”. Rogan also stated, “Whatever you do, I’ll do double.”
Three of the four finally went to the floor in order to test their push-up count, leaving out Tom Segura.
The floor was then taken by the star of the contest, Rogan after Shaffir’s 15 and Kreischer’s 33 push-ups. The others stood and counted as the 55-year-old went for 75 straight push-ups with just a minor halt after 70.
