Most press-ups in an hour!!

One of the most recent records set, August saw super-fit 50-year-old Welsh builder Carlton Williams complete an incredible 2,220 press-ups in an hour, smashing his own previous record of 1,874, and achieved despite injuring his shoulder midway through. Williams said he did it to “prove for once and for all that the Welsh people are physically, socially and spiritually superior”. He’s got a long way to go, though, before he beats the most press-ups completed in 24 hours: 46,001, a record accomplished by Massachusetts teacher Charles Servizio that has remained unbeaten for 22 years.
