According to
Guinness World Records, Carlton Williams first achieved the fitness record for "Most push ups in one hour (male)" in 2015 by doing 2,220 push ups. He reclaimed it this year by doing 2,682 push ups in 60 minutes.
"I did it to prove I'm the best," Mr Williams, a construction worker, said.
As per the rules, Mr Williams was required to keep his hands on the floor, while lowering his body until his elbows achieved a 90 degree angle for each push up to count towards the record. And although he briefly stopped to rest and catch his breath between reps, the clock did not stop at any point during his attempt.
