Rob Stirling has been working out for more than 40 years, but only added push-ups to his exercise routine because injuries forced him to find a replacement for the bench press.
Now, no one in the world can do more push-ups than Stirling in 60 minutes.
On Feb. 24 at Tampa’s Powerhouse Gym Athletic Club, Stirling completed 3,264 push-ups in one hour, giving him the unofficial record until Guinness World Records certifies his attempt, which was filmed from multiple angles.
The previous record of 3,206, according to Guinness, was achieved by Australian Lucas Helmke on Nov. 17, 2022.
Stirling, an insurance agent who was born and raised in Tampa, said Helmke is half his age.
“It’s probably not going to sit really well with him that a 60-year-old has the record,” Stirling said. “So, I hope he does come back and he’s a competitor. And if he does break it, I’ll challenge him to a head-to-head competition.”

True. I was an LT and a CPT graded me on a PT test. At about 20, he said i hadn’t done one yet. Needless to say I was not happy. Not sure if I hit 50 that day, which would have really been 70. To piss off the CPT, I did 120 sit-ups and finished the 2 mile run in front of the entire company.

@vicente09a-g92 he did 54 push ups per minute for an hour. Think about that. It doesn't matter those were well over half reps, when you're going for that many you need to use momentum.

@brianb7388 5 ай бұрын

it's really not a good record if there's no standard for what counts as a rep. imagine if someone said "I broke the world record for the mile run" but then you find out at every turn he cuts across the grass and shaves off 100 feet so by the end of the run his one mile is only 4450 feet long? so yeah if you're going to argue you are breaking the push-up record we need to know what counts as a pushup? anyh motion up and down is enough? 1 inch? 3 inches? 6 inches? if you watch clowns doing push-ups you'll often see their neck moving up and down a lot further than their shoulders. Have someone with their hand on the floor under you and touch their hand on the downstroke and go all the way to your elbows are straight on the upstroke and we're talking about the same thing or at least something relatively even. Guys with longer arms are at a huge disadvantage because they do more work per rep but at least we have something to compare against.

Doesn't correlate very much when you're form looks like this. You're only getting better and stronger at that push up with that range of motion. Not only will this not make you very much stronger at bench press, you'll be making very slow progress with full rom push ups

Actually you should go as far as you can without fully extending... When you extend and your joint locks.. Which in this case would be your elbow... You are taking the pressure(weight) off your muscle and on to your joint. But I agree he could be going further ROM. Tomatoe tomatoe.
