A mechanic has smashed the world record for most push-ups in an hour - completing a staggering 3,183

A mechanic has smashed the world record for most push-ups in an hour - completing a staggering 3,182.

Daniel Scali, 28, took on the Herculean task in April - and managed to surpass the previous best of 3,054.

His total has been officially confirmed and becomes the second Guinness World Record he has to his name.

Daniel, from Australia, also holds the record for the longest time spent in the abdominal plank position, recording nine hours and 30 minutes in August 2021.

And, incredibly, he has done all this while suffering from a condition which can cause excruiciating pain.

Daniel, from Henley Beach, said: "I suffer from a condition called Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CR) which I've had since I was 12.

“CR is rated 42 out of 50 on the McGill Pain Index. To be put that in perspective, child birth is rated at 40.

"It developed when I broke my arm in a bad accident and it's virtually my brain telling my left arm that there's pain there.

"Anything from a soft touch, wind, or a slight movement can cause unbearable pain so I shower without getting my left arm wet.
