Alicia Weber climbed 48 feet in 30 seconds while performing a monkey bar L climb.

Thommy Ohlund completed alternating dumbbell curls using 99.2 pound dumbbells while standing.

William Neal Quackenbush pressed 1,502 pounds for five repetitions on a 45-degree plate-loaded leg press in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, on the day he turned 62. The sled is stacked with plates out to the ends of both pegs, and the set runs in one continuous take, from unracking the sled through the fifth rep and racking it again. A gym staff member totaled the load at 1,502 pounds on camera in a separate clip. Not a bad way to spend a birthday.

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.

Thommy Ohlund performed a barbell curl with a reverse grip using a 60-kilogram barbell. He is 52 years old.

R.C. Nin performed barbell shrug using a 770-pound barbell. He is 56 years old.

Matthew Lawson loaded a 35-degree plate-loaded leg press to 790 kilograms at a gym in Bathurst, Australia, locked his knees and pushed the sled up onto his toes using nothing but his calves. The continuous video shows his legs staying straight as the sled rises, holds at the top and comes back down under control, and he then walks the camera around the machine to show the stacks of bumper plates and 20 kg plates loaded on the sled. That's more than three-quarters of a tonne, lifted by a pair of calves.

Nick G. performed a 400-pound deadlift. His body weight during the attempt was 119 pounds.

Josh Turner performed a 566-pound deadlift from a height of 17 inches.

Michael Drouin performed a decline bench press using a barbell weight 335 pounds. He is 63 years old.

Stanley Tomajko, 61, deadlifted 505 pounds, more than two and a half times his 192-pound (87-kilogram) bodyweight, for two full reps in his barn gym in Strasburg, Virginia, holding the bar with a double-underhand hook grip, both palms facing forward. A pair of large spoked wheels on the barbell sets it about 13 inches off the floor, the classic wagon wheel deadlift height from strongman, with three 45-pound plates and one 50-pound plate stacked outside each wheel. The continuous video shows both pulls to a full standing lockout with the wheels resting on the floor between reps, and Stanley itemized the load (plates, wheels, a 44-pound bar and collars) to the 505-pound total. Surrounded by anvils, ropes and antique iron, it is old-school strength in every sense.
