"The most chest to ground burpees in one hour (male) is 1,027, achieved by Tommy Vu (USA) in Salem, Oregon, USA, on 5 October 2024," the Guinness World Records says.

"Tommy managed to beat the previous record by an impressive 17 repetitions."

"Maj. Tommy Vu of the Oregon Army National Guard has reclaimed his world record for the most chest-to-ground burpees completed in one hour, performing 1,027 repetitions Oct. 5," the U. S. Army reports.

Vu, a medical officer with the Oregon National Guard’s Medical Command, surpassed his previous record of 1,003 burpees set in March 2023. The feat, pending official validation from Guinness World Records, occurred at a local gym.

"The 36-year-old Soldier lost his original record in December 2023 when another athlete completed 1,010 burpees. Determined to reclaim his title, Vu intensified his training regimen, which he attributes largely to endurance work he began during the COVID-19 pandemic."

"Vu’s family and friends play a crucial role in his record-breaking attempts. His wife, Linda, and their son, Adonis, were present to support him, along with Emma, a friend’s daughter who came to cheer him on. Linda described their collective effort to maintain Vu’s rigorous schedule," the U. S. Army reports.

"Pedro Velasquez, the Oregon National Guard State Equal Employment Manager and Vu’s self-described “motivational hype man,” was also present at the event.

"Vu adheres to a strict vegetarian diet in the week leading up to his attempts. His family ensures he has nutritious, plant-based meals to fuel his training."

"Beyond personal achievement, Vu uses his record to attempt to raise awareness and funds for charitable causes. For this latest record, he plans to donate $1,027 — one dollar for each burpee completed — to a fundraiser supporting a friend battling ALS," the U. S. Army reports.

"Brig. Gen. Alan Gronewold, the adjutant general of Oregon, said Vu exemplifies why the Oregon National Guard is the military service of choice for Oregonians.

”His dedication to both his military duties and personal goals showcases the work-life balance and drive for excellence we foster in our organization,” he said.” It’s this spirit of striving to achieve greatness that makes our Guard members exceptional both in and out of uniform.”
