Bedridden For 2 Years, Indian Man Performs 847 Push-Ups With 27Kg Backpack To Break World Record

A man from India, Rohtash Chaudhary, has achieved a new Guinness World Record by performing 847 push-ups in a single hour while carrying a 27.21 kg weight on his back. The feat demonstrates a remarkable level of physical endurance and strength, specifically within the category of weighted bodyweight exercises.

Chaudhary’s path to the record was marked by significant personal hardship, as he had previously spent two years confined to his bed due to health complications. His recovery and subsequent rigorous training led him to surpass the previous benchmarks set for this specific endurance challenge.

The official measurement of 27.21 kg, equivalent to 60 pounds, adds a layer of complexity to the push-up form required by world record standards. Chaudhary performed the attempt under the observation of official timers and witnesses to ensure the validity of the count and the adherence to strict posture guidelines.
