Rob Stirling has been working out for more than 40 years, but only added push-ups to his exercise routine because injuries forced him to find a replacement for the bench press.
Now, no one in the world can do more push-ups than Stirling in 60 minutes.
On Feb. 24 at Tampa’s Powerhouse Gym Athletic Club, Stirling completed 3,264 push-ups in one hour, giving him the unofficial record until Guinness World Records certifies his attempt, which was filmed from multiple angles.
The previous record of 3,206, according to Guinness, was achieved by Australian Lucas Helmke on Nov. 17, 2022.
Stirling, an insurance agent who was born and raised in Tampa, said Helmke is half his age.
“It’s probably not going to sit really well with him that a 60-year-old has the record,” Stirling said. “So, I hope he does come back and he’s a competitor. And if he does break it, I’ll challenge him to a head-to-head competition.”
