The Australian holds the world record for doing 3206 push-ups in 60 minutes

Here’s a number that makes our muscles ache just listening to it: Lucas Helmke pushed his body up on his hands and sank back down 3206 times – that’s 53 times a minute, once every second. He split the time into 30-second sets during which he could do at least 26 push-ups — he even came up with 26.7.

Some were denied to him

Accountant from Brisbane arrested by authorities «Guinness Book of Records» Observed closely because imprecise statements are not taken into account: the body should always be stretched with everyone. Pushup The Helmke should go down to a 90-degree angle between the upper and lower arms, then straighten the arms completely. Helmke was denied a total of 34 push-ups.

It was still good enough for the world record – Helmke broke his compatriot Daniel Scally’s record from 2020 by 24 push-ups. For the Australian, who set the record for his one-year-old son – “I want to show him that nothing is impossible” – the record is just the beginning: he wants to set a new record every year in the future.
