}} Paul Henry Allen Lynch was a multiple Guinness World Record holder through the 1980s, and 1990s. Paul was best known for his previous world records in push-ups,[1] and most notably consecutive one-finger push-ups. Records
Paul's first world record happened in 1982, June 10, when Paul accomplished 760 one-armed push-ups at the YMCA, Wimbledon, Greater London, at the age of 27 years. As an effect Paul's record appeared in the, 1983 - Guinness Book of Records. Paul's second world record occurred in 1983, July 10, when Paul accomplished 1,753 one-armed push-ups at the Wimbledon YMCA, London.{{citation needed|date=April 2012}}
The One-Finger push-up is done with just one finger of one arm only, and must be done consecutively with no breaks. The back must remain straight, and the elbow must make a 90 degree angle to mark each successful push-up. However, Guinness does allow the one-finger to be performed on the knuckle of the finger being used (Paul used his fully extended finger). The One-Finger can be subjectively argued as the hardest push-up in the Guinness category, as most Guinness push-ups are well with the thousands. The Pioneer of the first documented one finger push-up can be credited to Mich (Michael Gooch) who in 1982, March 20 achieved 39 one finger push-ups during the Kyokushinkai European Championships (Karate Championships) at Wembley Arena, London UK. Soon after, Mich Gooch, broke his record achieving 45 one-finger push-ups to become the first Guinness World Record Holder in the one-finger in 1985.{{citation needed|date=April 2012}} The AttemptOn 21 April 1992 at London's Hippodrome, Lynch performed 124 consecutive one-finger push-ups over approximately 5 minutes, during what would have been his 125th push-up, Paul shattered the bones in his finger.{{citation needed|date=April 2012}} After the attempt, Lynch was quoted as saying, "It felt like sticking my finger in an electrical socket."{{citation needed|date=April 2012}} Guinness no longer publicizes the consecutive one-finger push-up, rather a new category of most one-finger in 30 seconds has been introduced.{{citation needed|date=April 2012}} References1. ^{{cite book|last=McWhirter|first=Norris|title=The Guinness book of records|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=WqUxAQAAIAAJ|accessdate=17 April 2012|year=1982|publisher=Guinness Superlatives|isbn=978-0-85112-251-9|page=288}} External links
