I Spent A Night With Edmonton, Alberta's Famous Push-Up Guy

There is one thing you need to know about Doug Pruden: The man can do a push-up.

Known around town as the "Push-Up Guy," Pruden has held ten world records in his lifetime and currently holds seven. Among the Edmontonian's records are most fist push-ups and most one-arm push-ups using the back of his hand in a minute, just to name two.

Now most of Pruden's push-ups are done for cash on the cold sidewalk of Edmonton's main bar strip Whyte Avenue after soliciting passersby with a hearty, "Push-ups, boys! Five dollars for thirty one-arm push-ups."
