Daniel Scali taking a break while doing pushups for Guinness. (Guinness World Records)Looks like Australians have the secret recipe when it comes to doing a record-breaking number of pushups in an hour.
Daniel Scali of Australia just beat the previous world record for most pushups done in one hour with 3,182. Scali’s record beat the previous one which belonged to another Australian, Jarrad Young, by 100 pushups, according to the Guinness World Records website.
What’s more, Scali suffers from an incurable chronic pain condition known as complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), Guinness said. "It’s the brain sending wrong messages to my arm, which is the affected area.
So anything like soft touch, movements, wind or water will cause me pain," Scali told Guinness. Scali was diagnosed with CRPS when he was just 12 and the simple pleasure of playing outside with friends was a rare treat due to his condition.But this did not deter Scali from focusing on his physical health.
