Alicia Weber completed 48 consecutive reps of Double Combo Core Dip.

William Neal Quackenbush performed five full-range repetitions on an angled leg press loaded to 1,502 pounds in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, the day after turning 62. Full range here is his own standard: bend the knees to roughly 90 degrees on every rep, deep enough to load the legs through the whole movement, but stopping short of the joint angles that tend to wreck older knees and hips. The sled carries plates stacked out to the ends of both pegs, and the set was filmed in a single continuous shot, with a separate clip verifying the loaded weight.

A day after his 4,723.2-pound minute, Incredible Faulk went heavier in St. Joseph, Missouri, picking up a pair of dumbbells stamped 55 that weighed in at 54.4 and 55.8 pounds and raising them out to his sides 44 times in one minute. That adds up to 4,848.8 pounds, beating his own mark from the day before. RecordSetter counted all 44 raises in the continuous video, a screen recording of the clip he posted, which shows the 55 stamp on the dumbbells before he starts. Fewer reps with heavier iron turned out to be the winning trade.

Emmanuel Frechou curled a single 14.3-kilogram dumbbell for an hour in Antibes, France, moving 22,536.8 kilograms in total. The video opens with the dumbbell weighed on a scale, then shows him working through 197 sets of 8 one-arm curls, setting the dumbbell on the floor and switching arms after every set. The total is the dumbbell weight times 1,576 repetitions, and RecordSetter checked the set and rep count against the continuous, single-camera footage. He finishes red in the face and reaching for a towel.

Stefan Popovic completed nine one-handed rear delt flies on a selectorized gym machine in Calgary, Canada, at 310 pounds: the pin in the bottom plate of the 300-pound weight stack plus the machine's two 5-pound add-on weights. Seated facing the machine with his left hand braced in front, he swept his right arm out to the side and back for each rep, lifting the full stack and both add-ons off their rest nine times in one set. Review of the uploaded video counted every lift, three more than his earlier mark of six.

Mark Farhat pressed 858 pounds for eight reps on a plate-loaded 45-degree leg press at a Planet Fitness in Las Vegas, Nevada, at age 70. The set was filmed from the front corner of the machine in one continuous 25-second take: he lowers the loaded sled with his hands on the seat handles and drives it back to nearly straight legs on every rep. RecordSetter counted the reps from the video; the 858 pounds is his stated total for the plates and sled, consistent with the stacks on camera, and his date of birth was confirmed privately. That is 40 pounds more than his 818-pound set from two weeks earlier.
