of course its possible in even a shorter time then this, but with the guys record i would put my money on NO. You would have to be somewhat dedicated and he does not sound like a bloke that would be with his history

I think 70 proper pushups, (all the way up, lock elbows, all the way down, back straight, butt down, touch chest to ground, repeat) in a minute or less is physically impossible regardless of his strength or conditioning

World Record:

one minute: 138, William T. Mello (USA) 30 May 2002
(new record claim, not yet verified: 158, Sandy Holt (GBR) at Huddersfield Sports Centre, 8 Nov 2003)
(Note: The French edition of the Guinness Book of Records mentions a record of 199 by Jean-Yves Priol (FRA) on 5 June 1997, but many experts refuse to give credence to this claim.)

one-armed, one minute: 120; Yvan de Weber (SUI), 23 Oct 2001 in Madrid
