Armenian Athletes Set New Guinness World Records

Multiple awardees of the Guinness World Records, Moscow-based athletes Manvel Mamoyan and Aharon Virabyan have set new records in the push-up exercise.

According to rusarminfo, Manvel Mamoyan performed push-ups on his hands with an additional weight of 18,150 kg. Within one minute, the athlete successfully accomplished 16 push-ups. During training, he was able to perform up to 23 push-ups.

It is noted that before Mamoyan, no one had performed such push-ups with additional weight while standing on their hands. Therefore, this will be considered a new record for the Guinness Book.

Aharon Virabyan's record is for 82 horizontal push-ups in one minute, again with an 18,150 kg weighted backpack. The previous registered record was 79 push-ups in one minute.
