Fitness fanatics around the world indulge in intense exercises to prove their strength, but two men from Egypt managed to set a Guinness World Record for the most knuckle push-ups in tandem. Unlike normal push-ups, which are a common calisthenics exercise that start from the prone position, knuckle push-ups increase the intensity of the workout. Mahmoud Mohamed Ayoub and Mohammed Ahmed Ebrahim set the latest Guinness World Record on September 14, 2021. In their latest Instagram post, Guinness World Records shared a minute-long video of Ayoub and Ebrahim performing the intense workout routine. The video shows impeccable coordination between Ayoub and Ebrahim who, according to Guinness World Records, performed 37 knuckle push-ups in one minute.
The duo set the record for the most tandem knuckle push-ups in one minute in the men’s category in New Valley, Egypt. Ayoub and Ebrahim achieved this Guinness World Records record as a personal achievement. Before Ebrahim and Ayoub, the record was held by Travis Brewer and Cesar Sosa of the US, who completed 30 push-ups in one minute.
During tandem knuckle push-ups, one person raises and lowers the body using the fist placed perpendicular to the ground. Push-up exercises engage the pectoralis, triceps, and anterior deltoid muscles, and provide ancillary benefits to the rest of the deltoids, serratus anterior, coracobrachialis, and overall midsection.
In addition to tandem knuckle push-ups, Guinness World Records were also set for most one-leg raised push-ups, carrying a 20-pound pack, in one minute. Mohamed Ahmed Ebrahem, from ElKharga, Egypt, set the record on July 19, 2021. Ebrahem performed 76 push-ups with one leg raised, carrying a 20-pound pack in one minute last year. According to Guinness World Records, Ebrahem is a “serial record breaker and attempted this record as a personal achievement.”
