Jeremiah Gould set a single push-up bar on his lawn in Gray Court, South Carolina, and did 78 one-armed push-ups in 30 seconds at age 47. The phone video is one continuous take, from setting his grip on the bar to standing back up, and we counted the reps from that footage, timing 30 seconds from the first rep. That beats the 71 he set on this record in 2025, so at 47 he is faster than he was at 46.

Jeremiah Gould gripped a single push-up bar on the grass in Gray Court, South Carolina, spread his feet wide and fired off 141 one-armed push-ups in one minute at age 46. The video is one continuous take, from setting his grip to dropping to his knees at the end, and we timed the minute and counted every rep from that footage. That is more than double the 61 push-ups that had held this record since 2014, at a pace of better than two reps a second.

Jose Manuel Martin Molina did 60 consecutive decline push-ups with his fingers locked together in his living room in Ayamonte, Spain. With his feet up on a sofa seat he measured at 43 cm (about 17 inches) and his clasped hands on the floor, he lowers his chest to his hands and presses back to straight arms on every rep, resting on straight arms between sets. The video is one continuous take from setup until he finally sinks to the floor, and our own count matches his 60, all done in about a minute and a half.

Jose Manuel Martin Molina did 40 consecutive decline push-ups with his fingers locked together at home in Ayamonte, Spain. With his feet up on a sofa seat he measured at 43 cm (about 17 inches) and his clasped hands on the floor, he lowers his chest to his hands and presses back to straight arms on every rep, finishing all 40 in about 36 seconds. The video is one continuous take from setup to dismount, and our own count matches his 40. That left him almost half the minute to spare.

Jack Toma of Commerce Township, Michigan, wore a sports jersey every day for 598 consecutive days and posted a photo of each day's jersey to his Instagram account, @JerseyJack808. The submitted screen recording opens on the account's profile marking Day 598 on October 20, 2026, then scrolls through its 599-post grid of Jack in a rotating lineup that includes Celtics, Lions, Red Wings, Barcelona and Real Madrid jerseys. Those daily posts are the documentation for the streak. For Jack, every day is game day.

Jose Manuel Martin Molina performed 211 BMX back peg pogo hops while facing away from the bike in a parking garage in Ayamonte, Spain. With the handlebars behind his back and the front wheel raised, he kept hopping as he turned across the garage floor. Video review supports his stated count and shows the backwards-facing stance throughout the run. A familiar trick, turned around.

William Cain kicks a soccer training ball on a cord straight up in his Melbourne living room and jumps to meet it with his head on the way down. Counted frame by frame, the ball leaves his foot and lands on his head 22 frames later, 0.73 seconds at the video's 30 frames per second. Blink and you'd miss the whole thing.

Ben Connolly performed 100 leg lifts in two minutes, 25.22 seconds.

A young player heads a soccer training ball twice in a row in a Melbourne living room, holding the ball's cord in one hand to control it. Slowed down frame by frame, the clip shows both headers landing less than a quarter of a second apart, comfortably inside the one-second window. A few warm-up swings come first, then the ball drops and two quick nods send it back up.

Jason Faulkner lifted a total of 6,580 pounds with incline dumbbell flies in one minute in St. Joseph, finishing 47 reps with a pair of 70-pound dumbbells. The camera sits just below his bare hands, so every rep shows the two dumbbells swinging together overhead, with the pace slowing over the final seconds. The total counts both dumbbells on every rep (70 x 2 x 47), the same method used for the 6,370-pound mark he set in 2015. RecordSetter watched the full continuous set and counted the reps from the footage.

Jose Manuel Martin Molina of Ayamonte, Spain stands on the front pegs of his red BMX and pogo hops on the front wheel, rear wheel held high, for 768 hops in an underground parking garage. The low-angle video is a single 5 minute 23 second take with no cuts, and he bounces his way from the far garage door right up to the camera without ever touching down. RecordSetter checked the footage frame by frame and found a steady rhythm of about three hops per second, more than enough to cover his count. Legs of steel, and a garage floor that has seen a lot of rubber.

Chii Zen bounced two basketballs at once 187 times in one minute while balancing barefoot on a rola bola at home in Tainan, Taiwan. With one ball in each hand, both balls strike the floor together on every bounce while the board rocks on its free-rolling cylinder underfoot. RecordSetter counted the paired bounces from the continuous video and the sound of each strike, and the best 60 seconds of the attempt held exactly 187. It is the two-ball companion to Chii Zen's one-ball rola bola record.

Chii Zen bounced a basketball 250 times in one minute while balancing barefoot on a rola bola at home in Tainan, Taiwan. A rola bola is a board set across a free-rolling cylinder, so every low, quick dribble beside it has to happen while keeping the board level underfoot. The attempt was filmed in one continuous take, and RecordSetter counted the bounces from the footage and the sound of each ball strike. That works out to roughly four bounces a second without a single lost ball.

Adam's daughter performed five cartwheels in five seconds.

Karl Sortland rides a sandboard down a big red sand dune near Kanab, Utah, launches off a sand kicker on the slope and reaches down to grab the nose of his board in midair. Sandboarding is snowboarding's desert cousin, and a nose grab means holding the front tip of the board while airborne. RecordSetter timed the jump frame by frame from the moment the board left the lip to the moment it touched back down, for 0.4 seconds of airtime. He rides out the landing before sliding to a stop in the soft sand.

Arthur did 107 muscle-ups without coming off the bar in a 34-minute set at his gym in Christchurch, New Zealand, filmed in one uncut take by a phone on the floor while other members trained around him. A muscle-up takes the body from hanging below a bar to holding it up above the bar, and Arthur swung each one up with a knee tuck, then rested on top between reps, sometimes for close to a minute. His rules banned touching the ground and chicken-wing reps, where one elbow hooks over the bar before the other, and RecordSetter counted every rep on his original phone file. He shares his climb from a single chicken-wing muscle-up to this set on his YouTube channel, Arthur's Fitness.
