The Chechen Ministry of Sports has set a new national record for the number of push-ups. According to the newspaper "Komsomolskaya Pravda in the North Caucasus", it was installed by five-year-old Rakhim Kuriev. The boy managed to do 4105 push-ups from the floor without interruption in two hours and 26 minutes. Kuriev was going to repeat the exercise five thousand times, but so far he did not have enough strength.
According to the parents, the child has been playing sports for several years. Basically, he does it at home under the supervision of his father, rather than going to the gym. The boy knows how to sit on the twine and hold the bar while standing on his hands. By the age of five, Kuriev managed to develop an impressive muscle corset. The previous record for the number of push-ups among boys belonged to five-year-old Bat Boktaev from Kalmykia: in December 2015, he managed to push up 4050 times.
Five-year-old boy did more than four thousand push-ups
