2,503 push-ups: Pakistani breaks world record
Pakistani wrestler Munir Ahmed on Monday registered his name amongst world record holders with his herculean 2,503 push-ups.
The phenomenal struggle, which bettered an Indian’s record, lasted for an hour and 25 minutes.
The world-record-setting demonstration was witnessed by thousands of spectators in Sheikhupura’s company bagh.
Talking to the media on the completion of the task, a proud Ahmed said he was ecstatic at this feat for his country.
In a show of patriotism and empathy for his fellow countrymen, Ahmed also announced that all the proceeds from the event will be donated to flood victims.
Last month, nineteen girls from different A’ Level institutions across Karachi, including Karachi Grammar School and Southshore School, managed to break a previous record by fitting into the vehicle with its doors closed for five seconds.
The previous record was held by Climb FitTeam of Australia who compressed eighteen students into a standard SmartCar at the Warringah Mall, Sydney Australia on January 25, 2010.

Nice one, but I just read somewhere that the form was not correct. Even if so, at least it raised some more awareness about flood relief.

What kind of push up is that? I have a manual of different of push ups and I have never sense this?

 

[F86 Saber]

Is this technique even correct? I've always been told by my gym teachers to keep my feet close and go down till the chest almost touches the floor.

the only explanation which comes to my mind is may b this is Desi Style of pushups ...lol

Looks more like an air dive than a pushup.
Sorry.

Looks more like an air dive than a pushup.
Sorry.

Giving him all credit, even these push ups are hard to do.
Did you saw in first few seconds of video. He was moving his elbow close and open like regular push up.
