Record Setter

Longest Handstand (Male)

Gord Beast held a freestanding handstand for a staggering 35 minutes and 52 seconds, obliterating the previous RecordSetter mark of 12 minutes and 8 seconds. To put this in perspective: the longest documented wall-supported handstand is around 13 minutes, and the longest freestanding holds found anywhere online top out around 20 minutes. Gord's attempt, captured in a single unedited video, nearly doubles that. No wall, no support, just hands on the ground and full vertical hold for over half an hour.
