Arthur Weaver III has been involved in fitness and martial arts for most of his life, and a new YouTube video shows he recently broke the world record for most “Knuckle Push Ups” in 60 seconds. According to Weaver, a necessary part of achieving this feat is physical conditioning, where one trains the body for speed, endurance, and in Weaver’s case, extraordinary strength.

“The physical aspect of conditioning includes working parts of the body over and over to callous and scar so there is little to no feeling during competition or training,” says Weaver. He has been working on training his hands and building upper body strength for some time. Now that he has mastered the skill, he hopes to be recognized for setting a new record for “the most knuckle push ups in 60 seconds” in the Guinness Book of World Records.

One of the most iconic books in existence, the Guinness Book of World Records keeps a list of extremes in nature, the human body, competition, endurance and size. There are categories ranging from the largest pizza to the most cast iron frying pans thrown at one time. If there is something that can be done, someone will try to get into the book, and someone will try to beat that record.

Weaver recently set an unofficial world record for the most knuckle push-ups done in 60 seconds. This seems to be a relatively common feat to attempt, so Weaver took it a step further. He did 77 push ups in 60 seconds on his knuckles, beating the previous record of 58 push ups by almost 20 repetitions.

On hand for the attempt were fitness experts and professional timekeepers Muhammad White, Jimmy Dimaso, James Simms, and Michael Clark. Their professional opinions, coupled with a video of the attempt, shows indisputable proof the record has been bested. The attempt took place at star park in forest park Ga other adults and children exercising and playing also witnessed this attempt. Now, Weaver is waiting for Guinness to certify the record and place it in the book.

At 36, married and with a son, Weaver looks to be a man roughly half his age. He has been doing fitness and martial arts all of his life, and it shows. Now, he has accomplished yet another incredible feat to demonstrate his impressive physical abilities and form by setting this new world record.
