It turns out that to achieve record-breaking status, you only need to do a little more than 40 push-ups.
This was proven by Chi Guijong from China.
A man entered the Guinness Book of Records after doing only 41 push-ups.
But there are two nuances that make this achievement very serious.
Firstly, the Chinese man performed push-ups in a very unusual way.
Secondly, the man was given only half a minute to set the record.
The essence of Chi Guijong's record
The event in which the Chinese representative set the record took place on December 8, 2011.
The man did push-ups... only on one finger.
The Chinese man placed the index finger of his right hand on the floor and began doing push-ups, holding his left hand behind his back.
In 30 seconds, Chi Guijong managed to do 41 push-ups.
And the word “only” here would be clearly superfluous, given the chosen method of performing the physical exercise.
The compilers of the Guinness Book of Records recorded Chi Guijong's achievement.
Thus, the mention of this resident of China has been present in the reference book since the end of 2011.
Now, to get the record-holder status, you need to do 42 push-ups. But you need to do it very quickly and on one index finger.
