In this article we will talk about sports and records as motivation for exercise. As is known, a healthy mind resides in a healthy body. But we need sport in everyday life not only to maintain health, but also to set our own records. An excellent form of sports training is push-ups. This exercise, familiar to us from childhood, can be easily performed at home, helps to maintain excellent physical shape and is perfect for achieving new records. If you practice regularly, your results will be very impressive. Now let's talk about the records themselves and the record holders.
A person sets records in any type of activity. However, sport is the most accessible area for achieving good results. And in the case of push-ups, history knows many examples of sports records that serve as a good incentive for daily exercise. Records are set in a variety of types of push-ups: with fists, with one hand, with fingers, etc.
Small and smart
The youngest Russian athlete from Voronezh was only twelve years old when she set a record for push-ups on one finger. Yulia Alyokhina simply masterfully rested on her thumb and did push-ups without touching her feet to the floor. True, the world also knows younger athletes. Ronak Atul Vitha from India is the youngest record holder. Born in 2005, he began doing push-ups at the age of 2.5 years. He is currently a master of sports in push-ups, and his record is 1482 push-ups in 40 minutes.
An 11-year-old Azerbaijani boy set a record - 2291 push-ups in 1 hour 12 minutes!

11-year-old Azerbaijani boy Bahaddin Agayev set a record in the country among his peers - 2291 push-ups in 1 hour 12 minutes! This happened on the Space TV program “Who’s at It.”
By the way, the world record among children also belongs to 9-year-old Azerbaijani Pasha Huseynov, whose family lives in Moscow. In August 2004, in the gym of one of the Moscow universities, he continuously did 9,263 push-ups with his fists for six and a half hours. This record is included in the world edition of the Guinness Book of Records.
After the third hour, he finally got his second wind. When the process was already coming to an end, Pasha even began to do push-ups on his fingers. As if to show that it’s not difficult for him at all. But he was immediately asked to do push-ups with his fists. After all, the conditions indicate that you need to do push-ups using your fists.
Push-up records
From the Guinness Book of Records:
Push-ups for 1 year. During the year - from October 1988 to October 1989 - Paddy Doyle (Great Britain) did 1,500,230 push-ups. Push-ups (standing up) in 24 hours April 24-25, 1993 Charles Servizio did 46,001 push-ups in Fontana, PC. California, USA Push-ups (on one arm) in 5 hours February 12, 1996 Paddy Doyle did 8,794 push-ups on one arm in Birmingham, UK Push-ups (on fingertips) in 5 hours May 11, 1996 Terry Cole did 8,200 push-ups on his fingertips in London. Push-ups (on one finger) in a row. In 1992, Paul Lynch did 124 push-ups on one finger in London, UK.
Those who love push-ups more than any other exercise are able to achieve amazing results in them. There is no need to try to surpass these records; consider these numbers as an additional incentive to practice.
Minoru Yoshida performed 10,507 push-ups without stopping in 1980.
In October 1988, Bijender Singh from India did 387,720 push-ups in an hour.
On July 30, 2003, Doug Pruden from Canada did 1,382 one-arm push-ups in 30 minutes.
1000 fist push-ups were completed in 18 minutes and 13 seconds by the tireless Doug Pruden a little earlier - on July 9, 2003.
While standing on raw chicken eggs, Johann Schneider from Austria managed to do as many as 112 push-ups.
In 2010, a Georgian karateka athlete, a student of the 195th Tbilisi secondary school, 16-year-old Giorgi Basilashvili in Tbilisi, set a new world record for push-ups on the floor on one hand - he did 157 push-ups within a minute.
Young Russian woman Yulia Alekhina from Voronezh, at the age of 12, set a unique record for push-ups on... one finger in 2003! Yulia managed to do as many as 20 push-ups on her right thumb while keeping her legs in the air, which made her the absolute champion in the under 15 age group. The record was set on April 9, 2003
On March 17, 2007, in the city of Gudermes, Chechen Republic, the official registration of a new Russian record for finger push-ups took place in the presence of the Editor-in-Chief of the Book of Records of Russia, Alexey Svistunov. Zhabrail Azizaev did 67 push-ups in 30 seconds.
Do push-ups to live!
And in the end I would like to give you probably the most motivating example for training in push-ups. Anita Sycheva, a resident of Zaporozhye, once got into a serious car accident, after which she was bedridden for two years. And what helped the middle-aged woman in such a difficult life situation? Sport! She now does 1,000 push-ups without rest.
As you can see, the possibilities for setting personal records in push-ups are endless! And our records depend solely on our willpower and training process. Nowadays, for more convenient training, there is a push-up counter intended for personal use and passing standards. It can be purchased in the section “Equipment for passing standards”
Record for the most difficult push-ups. How to do push-ups on one leg and one arm?
We are sure that every morning is created for new victories: to set a big and audacious goal, decide on a personal challenge and prove that the human body is capable of more. As part of a special project of the Geely
and “Championship” our hero - six-time Guinness Book of Records holder, blogger and athlete
Manvel Mamoyan
- set himself a goal: to perform as many push-ups as possible in a minute and break the existing world record. And everything would be fine... if these push-ups didn’t have to be done while standing on one leg and one arm.
The previous record was 36 repetitions in a minute. You can find out the details and see the technique for performing the exercise here.
If a goal is set, the main thing is not to hesitate and know that behind every turn there may be a result that you could not even dream of before. In order for you to feel the atmosphere of our morning, we have outlined its most important moments and added comments from the hero.
7:30
— dawn in Moscow. The hero leaves the house. Today we will try to break the Guinness record live on Instagram of the “Championship”.
8:00
— Manvel Mamoyan arrives to the set in a
Geely Coolray*
. Preparing the team to record the record.
— Manvel, how are you feeling?
“I think that today we will definitely be able to set a record.” I trained a lot and now I can imagine that I will do more than 40 times. The previous record was 36. But for me it is important not just to set a record, but to perform push-ups with high quality, so that one cannot find fault with their technique.
8:30
- hero warm-up.
— How do you generally behave the day before the record? Are you preparing hard or resting?
— Before a record, I try to rest and perform any training as if it were an easy warm-up. One of the exercises that I often do before records is squats until it hurts, I train my breathing. When I do all this in advance, the exercise is completed much better. And the quality of the exercise is very important for it to be included in the book.
With a Geely Coolray*
you are always ready for training. Despite the compact appearance of the car, the crossover has a fairly spacious trunk that can accommodate not only a sports bag and a change of shoes, but also additional sports equipment that will help turn any open space into a platform for workout training.
- How do you know all these techniques? Do you have any trainer helping you?
— I studied a lot of different sports techniques, and my body first of all. Since I am a workout coach, this knowledge helps me not only when setting a record, but also in my work.
— So you have some kind of scientific basis?
— Of course, I read and continue to read a lot. I try to study it even now, because the sports world and sports science are constantly developing, a lot of new things appear. I consider Siluyanov’s methods to be one of the most authoritative; they help me a lot.
9:00
— start of the live broadcast. During the record breaking, our broadcast was watched by more than a thousand people. By the end of the day, this figure will exceed 6.5 thousand viewers.
9:02
— the record has been broken.
Manvel Mamoyan managed to do 41 push-ups on one arm and leg in a minute. The sporty character and steely muscles of our hero fully reflect the philosophy of the Geely Coolray* brand car.
Aesthetic shape of a Geely Coolray*
resembles the contours of an athletically built body of an athlete. And in the car itself there are many “sporty parts”: a bumper trim protruding forward, front and rear brake calipers, a spoiler.
9:40
— we go to an interview with the hero to find out where his journey in sports began.
— When did you start your journey as a record holder?
— I started setting records when I was 15 years old. The first time I set a record was when I did abdominal crunches. I remember that I managed to do it 2551 times, but the next time I overcame myself and did it 3511 times. Then I began to set other records: push-ups on one hand, on two, on fists, on two fingers and many other different combinations.
— How did it happen that you decided to set a record?
— I remember that the guys and I were always in fierce competition, we constantly wanted to prove to each other which of us was cooler. And my friends are very athletic, so many disputes were resolved in the hall. And when I told you that I could do crunches more than 1000 times, many people didn’t believe me right away and thought that I was bluffing. Therefore, I had to prove it not in words, but in deeds. This is the first record that was officially included in the Armenian book of records, and it all started from there. When I set the first record, I had great confidence that I could do even more.
- What now?
— Now I already have many records in completely different categories. I officially hold six Guinness World Records, and six more of them are awaiting confirmation this year. So I hope that by the end of the year I will officially be at least a 10-time book record holder. It would be great to become a record holder too. To do this, of course, I need to do a lot of things.
- Do you think it will work?
- I am sure that I have such an opportunity. Because many records are already easy for me. God gave me physical strength, a resilient body and confidence, and this is the most important thing. Everything else can be trained.
— I know that in Russia you are already a record holder... Is this true?
— Yes, now in Russia I have the largest number of Guinness records, but this does not mean that you can relax ( smiles
). Although it only took me a few years.
— Why the Guinness Book of Records?
“I always wanted to be in it, because this book is the most authoritative source for many. Interestingly, it ranks second only to the Bible in worldwide sales. Getting into the Guinness Book of Records gave all my actions some kind of special status, everything was recorded in an official source, and I was given a certificate of authenticity every time. This was important to me.
— How to get into the Guinness Book of Records?
— You need to select a category to set a record on the site. It is convenient to search for information by tags there. If you already have such a record, then just train and learn how to do it faster or for more repetitions. If there is no such record, then you can write an official letter to the main office - and then they will decide.
— What documentation is needed?
— Not all my results are recorded in the book. Partly because there are a lot of problems with the design. There are a lot of questions about documentation, videos, and exercise techniques. For example, we need confirmation from witnesses who were nearby at the time the record was set. If it's just video material, then they're not interested. They will not consider it without comments from eyewitnesses. That’s why it’s so important to invite viewers, various media and experts.
— How, in principle, can you set new standards in setting records? So you did push-ups on one arm, then on one arm and leg, what next - push-ups without arms? There are no such things...
— I already have many different records behind me. Now I want to do not just exercises, but something unique. One of the ideas I have now is to pull a car with your teeth in a handstand for five or ten meters. I think it would look very spectacular. Today I will try to stretch a Geely Coolray*
teeth. Let's see how the car responds. And then it will be possible to complicate and try.
— That is, a record can be included in the book that has never been there? How does this happen, tell me?
— The Guinness Book of Records is open to new ideas. In order to set a record that has never been there, it is enough to write a request to the official email and tell in detail what exactly you want to do, you can even attach a video. If it is something spectacular that will attract the attention of readers and viewers, then they will definitely agree.
10:30
— Manvel Mamoyan pulls the car with his teeth.
Do not repeat, it is dangerous to life and health. Done by a professional.
— What advice would you give to people who really want to get into the book of records, but don’t know where to start?
“You need to believe in yourself and train a lot, then everything will work out.”
