Randy Richey of The Omega Force Strength Team pulled a 36,000-pound fire truck loaded with 16,000 pounds of water a distance of over 50 feet using a harness. The weight was verified by the local Burkesville Kentucky Fire Department. NOTE: This record is dangerous and should only be attempted by trained professionals.

Stefan Popovic loaded 354 pounds of plates onto a seated tricep press machine at a gym in Calgary, Canada, and pressed it for five full reps. The handheld video circles the machine during the set, showing the stacked plates as he drives the handles from bent elbows down to straight arms, with a short pause before the last rep. RecordSetter counted all five lockouts in the continuous clip. Not bad for a lifter who says he weighs under 185 pounds.

Corey R. suspended a flaming 24-pound cinder block on his ears. WARNING: This record can be extremely dangerous. Please do not attempt this record unless you are above the age of 18 and trained as a professional stunt man. We will not accept submissions in this category from minors.

Michael Joseph Drouin of Elk Grove, California completed six lat pulldown repetitions using 430 pounds at age 67. The lift adds a senior disabled-strength category to RecordSetter’s training records, with the submitted video documenting the weight and repetitions. His form is not textbook, but the attempt shows a completed heavy lat pulldown set under the category claim.

Isaiah Tolbert pressed 847 pounds on a 45-degree leg press at a gym in Snellville, Georgia, three days before he turned 13. Before the lift he shows the camera the sled's 167-pound label and the plates loaded on both sides, then lowers the sled into a deep knee bend and drives it back up to nearly straight legs in one continuous take. The total counts the plates plus the sled, as the rules require. Not a bad way to sign off on age 12.

Matt Alaeddine, who weighs in at 438 pounds, fit himself through a hula hoop. Ryan Stock served as a witness to this attempt.
