In 2012, Mukesh was declared the winner of the Karate Black Belt Asian Championship. "With the help of my Guruji Deepak Singh, uncle and friends I am able to create this record. In past, I have first done 1,700 push-ups then 2,500 push-ups and this time 4,040 push-ups. I didn't give up even after fracturing my ligaments and my back also well. I am willing to make more such records under the guidance of my Guruji", said Mukesh Kumar.
Earlier, an Australian athlete performed 3,182 push-ups in an hour to break a Guinness Book of World Records. Daniel Scali pushed himself to the edge to achieve the incredibly difficult feat. The record was set in April this year when Scali performed 3,182 push-ups in one hour, over a hundred more than the previous mark of 3,054 set by fellow Australian Jarrad Young in 2021, Guinness Book of World Records said in a release.
