This is a lot of freaking pushups.

MURFREESBORO, Tenn. -- What began as a quest to beat his dad doing push-ups as a 12-year-old ended 28 years later with a likely world record for Tim Sikes.

Sikes on Saturday managed 3,669 push-ups in an hour -- well above the current record of 3,416 recognized by the Guinness Book of World Records and set by Canadian Roy Berger in 1998.

Sikes said he trained three hours a day, six days a week since last July. While the number of pushups works out to more than one per second, "if you hang in there, you can break through the pain," he said.

Sikes did 75 push-ups at a time and took 15-second breaks to set the record at a Murfreesboro karate studio. Several times he had trouble getting off the floor, his arms red from stress and covered in perspiration.

His feat was part of a fund-raiser for the Boy Scouts of America and a United Way program. Witnesses signed a document after the event that will be sent to the Guinness Book of World Records.

Sikes said a push-up competition with his father as a child inspired his dedication to physical fitness.

"I came home from working out with some athletes and was telling my dad how much I could lift," Sikes said. "My father asked me how many push-ups I could do, and then he beat me. I guess that\'s how it all started."
