Jeremiah Gould set a single push-up bar on his lawn in Gray Court, South Carolina, and did 78 one-armed push-ups in 30 seconds at age 47. The phone video is one continuous take, from setting his grip on the bar to standing back up, and we counted the reps from that footage, timing 30 seconds from the first rep. That beats the 71 he set on this record in 2025, so at 47 he is faster than he was at 46.

That is more than double the 61 push-ups that had held this record since 2014, at a pace of better than two reps a second.

Jeremiah Gould strapped on a 40-pound backpack and cranked out 145 one-armed push-ups in 60 seconds on his front lawn, breaking his own record of 138 set in March. Gould has been chasing bigger numbers on this record since 2014.
