A man from Illinois has broken a new record in the world of sports. He began his record attempt at 5 am on April 5th and finished at the same time on April 6th. During this period, he successfully performed squats 26,100 times. This achievement is the highest score ever recorded in history.

Tony Piraino, a male athlete from Decatur, Illinois, began his record-breaking attempt at exactly 5 a.m. on April 5th and completed it at the same time on April 6th. He started by performing 26,000 squats during the 24-hour period. As a result, he successfully broke the previous world record held by Joe Reverdes from Rhode Island in 2020, who only recorded a total of 1,000 squats.

To ensure that he has enough stamina and energy to achieve his goals, Tony Piraino takes a 30-second break every time he reaches 22 squats. In addition, he also makes sure to consume plenty of energy drinks and carb-rich snacks.

On April 6th at 5am, Tony Piraino not only broke the previous record by doing 25,000 squats, but also successfully achieved his personal target by recording 26,000 squats, surpassing the target by 100 squats. Although his record still needs to be verified by Guinness World Records, this athlete from Illinois is optimistic that his achievement will be recognized. Tony Piraino revealed to local media that he was inspired by athlete David Huggins' achievement, who in 2013 set a world record by doing 4,030 pull-ups in 17 hours and 45 minutes. After reading Goggins' book, "Can't Hurt Me," Piraino decided to test his limits by pushing himself.
