“Doyle’s obsession with world records began in 1987 after picking up an old edition of the Guinness World Records book. Later that year, he set his first record: 4,100 push-ups in 4 hours, 30 minutes, while carrying a 50-pound steel plate on his back. By 2009, Guinness had listed him as the World Fitness Endurance Champion. For each record attempt, Doyle approaches various world record organizations for rules and regulations and confirms their acceptance of fitness endurance records. Many of Doyle’s achievements would boggle the minds of even the most dedicated fitness fanatics… These include the most one-armed push-ups in one hour (1,886), the most push-ups in a year (1,500,230), the most weights lifted in one hour (149,220 pounds), carrying a 56-pound log a distance of 25 feet (100 times in 21 minutes, 40 seconds), and the fastest mile run with a 40-pound backpack (5 minutes, 35 seconds)… This 200th milestone record has been recognized by Record Holders Republic, the International Record Holders Club and the Universal Record Database.” w/ photos
