Press World Records

Jose Manuel Martin Molina grips the handlebars of a parked red 125cc sport motorcycle in Ayamonte, Spain, walks his feet high up the wall behind it and presses himself down toward the bars and back up 22 times. The 63 second clip is one continuous take, from setting up beside the bike to wheeling it away afterwards, with his feet on the wall for the whole set. RecordSetter counted the presses from the footage, each one bending his elbows and finishing on straight arms, and the count backs up all 22. Think of it as an upside-down push-up with a motorcycle for a bench.

Levi Rudolph of Merion Station, Pennsylvania pressed the lap button on an iPad stopwatch 125 times in 15 seconds. Sitting on a couch, he starts the Clock app's stopwatch from zero and drums the lap button with one index finger while his other hand steadies the iPad. The stopwatch's own lap list keeps the count: Lap 125 is logged at 14.84 seconds and Lap 126 lands just past the mark at 15.01. That works out to more than eight presses a second.

Jose Manuel Martin Molina grips the handlebars of his parked red BMX, walks his feet high up a whitewashed wall in Ayamonte, Spain, and lowers himself toward the bars and presses back up 22 times. The 39 second clip is one continuous take, with his feet on the wall from the first press until he steps down and two short pauses with his arms locked out. RecordSetter counted every press frame by frame, each one bending his elbows and finishing with straight arms. Think of it as an upside-down push-up on a bike that has to stay perfectly still.
