A major in the Army National Guard living in Oregon has set a new world record for the most chest-to-ground push-ups in one hour. Stop for a moment and think about how many push-ups you have done in the past 12 months.
Several recent studies found many Americans cannot do 5 consecutive push-ups, and over half of Americans reported being unable to do 10 in a row. Even for those among us who are in immaculate shape, push-ups are often an afterthought at the gym but not for Oregon Army National Guard Major Tommy Vu.
Did you come up with that number of how many push-ups you’ve done in the past year? For me it is less than a thousand. I rarely do body weight exercises and prefer resistance training with heavy weights. I work out 7 days a week but push-ups aren’t really on my radar. And even if my number is 1,000, he crushed that in one hour.
Oregon Army National Guard Major Tommy Vu Sets Push-Ups World Record
While raising money for the Oregon Humane Society, with $1 raised per rep in the record, he completed 1,721 repetitions of chest-to-ground push-ups in one hour during his September 20th attempt at the West Coast Strength gym in West Salem, Oregon.
There are 3,600 seconds in an hour. He did 1,721 chest-to-ground push-ups in one hour, a new Guinness World Record (once they certify it). That is one push-up every 2.09 seconds for a full hour. Unbelievable.

Different Types Of Push-Ups, Multiple Records In The World
There are so many variations of push-ups that when I first saw this ‘new push-ups world record’ story come across my desk I went into the BroBible archives. I remembered an article from April 2023 where Daniel Scali in Australia set a new push-ups world record with 3,128 in 60 minutes…
I was confused. That is obviously more the 1,721 push-ups that Major Tommy Vu did in 60 minutes. But you saw Vu’s footage above. Those are full chest-to-ground push-ups. Daniel Sacli’s push-ups were not that at all. Here’s what he was doing back in 2023:

Both push-ups Guinness World Records are incredibly impressive. But the full chest-to-floor ‘shups are more difficult for obvious reasons, notably time under tension.
Now that we’ve come this far, how many push-ups do you think you could do in one hour? Let me know in the Facebook comments!
