A set of push ups might fill some people with dread, but it’s a drop in the ocean for Margaret River man Carlton Williams, who set a world record earlier this month.

His mammoth effort saw him complete 2200 push ups in just 60 minutes, to Guinness World Records’ stringent guidelines.

I certainly get a physical buzz out of it… you feel on top of the world, for sure!’

6PR Perth Tonight host Chris Ilsley challenged the super fit 50-year-old to complete 2600 at his next attempt, but that figure was deemed almost ‘impossible’ in the time allowed.

‘I think maybe 2300 would be pushing it,’ Mr Williams said.
