An accountant in Australia has shown that a dad does not have to come with the requisite “dad bod”, as he broke the world record for the most number of push-ups in an hour.
He racked up about 53 push-ups a minute, or close to one a second, and did it 60 times consecutively. By comparison, men his age will have to turn in 56 reps for a minute to get the maximum 25 points for this particular station in the Individual Physical Proficiency Test for Singapore’s NSmen. Mr Helmke was required to keep his body straight on his way up, without bending his knees and waist, while reaching at least a 90-degree angle at the elbow when he lowered himself.Posting his Guinness World Records certificate on his Facebook in March, he wrote: “This one finally came through.”
He said he broke the push-ups down into 30-second sets, aiming for at least 26 reps in each one. He chalked up an average of 26.7 every 30 seconds.
