The most push-ups completed in one hour is 3,416 by Canadian Roy Berger at the Central Canada Exhibition, Ottawa, Canada on August 30, 1998. Roy dedicated the record to his younger brother, Lee, who was tragically killed while stationed as a Canadian peacekeeper with the UN Protection Forces.
Britain's Paddy Doyle completed 1,303 push ups on the backs of his hands in one hour. The record, broken on March 21, 2001, at the aptly named Staminas Boxing Martial Arts Centre, Erdington, Birmingham, UK, beats Paddy's previous world record of 660 push ups.
