The record-keeping organization said Scali performed more than 100 push-ups more than previous record holder Jarrad Young, who completed 3.054 push-ups in one hour in 2021.

Scali said he had to flight through the discomfort caused by complex regional pain syndrome, which he has had since breaking his arm at age 12.

"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.
