Jan Kareš did 1205 push-ups in one hour!

Although Jan Kareš will celebrate his 50th birthday this year, it does not hinder his enthusiasm and commitment to exercise. However, Honza is such a phenomenon that on 3.6.2023 he managed to set a new world record in the number of push-ups per hour. In front of about 100 spectators at the Prague Palladium, Kareš attempted to set a new world record, which he finally succeeded in doing.

Honza made exactly 1205, which is 74 more than the previous maximum. He then posted on his social media:

1204/60 min
The Guinness record was 1131, so satisfaction.
The goal was to do more than I did at the Arnold Classic in Barcelona and that was 1198.
11 months ago I was in hospital, both legs broken and I had one goal in my head: to get back to where I was and I did it. My motto is PAIN IS A MYTH, but I admit I ate hundreds of Aulins ( pain pills ) to make it through. I guess I don't get addicted to it, now I don't even think about taking it.
Evie definitely suffered through the most with me, but we got through everything.
I had a bit of a slump with the pushups at about 800 reps. Suddenly felt like I was missing sugars, but then it passed after about another hundred.
What happens next remains to be seen, but something does, that's for sure.
