Fitness World Records

Abdul Rehman squatted his way through a 30-second countdown on a sunny lawn lined with palm trees in Karachi, Pakistan, arms held out in front of him for balance. The video is one continuous shot with an on-screen timer running down to zero, and his count of 29 matches the steady pace of about one full squat per second. No weights, no props, just a brisk rhythm from start to finish.

Michael Joseph Drouin, a 68-year-old Navy veteran, rowed a 75-pound dumbbell for 10 reps with each arm at a gym in Elk Grove, California. Bracing one knee and one hand on a flat bench, he pulls the dumbbell from below the bench up to his chest, then switches sides, all in one continuous video. Drouin trains with spinal hardware from his neck to his lower back and a replaced hip, and his outlook is simple: we were given one life, so live it regardless of age.

Atul Raj kicks up into a handstand against a wall in Malappuram, India, lifts one hand off the floor and grinds out seven straight push-ups on a single arm. His feet rest on the wall for balance while his free arm stays bent beside his head, and on every rep he lowers until his head meets a cushion before pressing back up. The single continuous phone clip shows the kick-up, all seven reps and the dismount. Handstand push-ups are hard on two arms; on one, they belong to a very small club.
