New York Youth to Attempt 3 World Records

On Friday, August 27th, 24 year-old Shaun McDaniel will slip on a forty pound backpack and attempt to break the world record currently held by his longtime hero 'Iron Man' Paddy Doyle, for the most backhanded push-ups in one hour.

New York, NY (prHWY.com) August 24, 2010 - On Friday, August 27th, 24 year-old Shaun McDaniel will slip on a forty pound backpack and attempt to break the world record currently held by his longtime hero 'Iron Man' Paddy Doyle, for the most backhanded push-ups in one hour. He will have to outdo Doyle's 2008 record of 663 - an ambitious goal for a South Jamaica, Queens, native who, unable to afford a gym, has largely trained himself for the event in a thrift store basement and on a neighborhood playground.

"If you're not a successful individual coming out of that neighborhood, it's not a big deal to anybody," says Shaun. "No one's expecting much from you. I've seen a lot of friends get destroyed by the neighborhood that I live in, and I don't want to be just another statistic. I've lived my entire life going against what everyone said I couldn't do."

While he's at it, McDaniel also plans to go after two other Guinness World RecordsTM: one for the most backhanded push-ups in one minute wearing a 40 lb backpack 40; and the other for the most star jumps in one minute, of which the current record is 61 and was set by American Ashrita Furman in January 2008.
