In 1980, Japanese citizen Minoru Yoshida achieved the unbelievable when he did 10,507 consecutive push-ups. According to Guinness, the previous record was held by Charles Linster in 1965. His final count was 6,006 — nothing compared to Yoshida’s incredible arm-durance.
No one has challenged Yoshida’s record for over 30 years. Instead, people compete to set records like “most push-ups in 24 hours.” That record, however, was established in 1933 by Charles Servizio and still stands at 46,001 today. This is one record that doesn’t stand a chance to fall anytime soon!
