Skill world records

[Felipe]

I would like to see a complete thread about various records involving basic or complex gymnastic movements.

Of course the best way to do it would be posting a video on youtube (CTI anyone? ) but please tell us wathever record you've seen or found on the net even if it's only claimed.

A good place to start reasoning about bodyweight feats is http://www128.pair.com/r3d4k7/Chinups.html which is based on a probably good book (I would really like to buy it without spending a fortune) The Super Athletes by David P. Willoughby.

An incredible competition I found while searching for other material is polyathlon

, a competition in Russia which includes skiing, shooting, pullups and pushups.

Now I will try posting something, and you will see that quantity is preferred only if combined with quality:

PRESSING

HeSPU on floor = ?

HSPU on bars = 163 by Coach Mako Sakamoto

Push ups = with perfect form and pause on top of max 2 secs 123 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iTC606AXBZE (many claims about number in the order of thousands, reality is they are something like this

)

PL pushups - difficult to judge proper form, here lots of them but without locked elbows

Dips = ?

Manna presses

Circles on pommel

Handstand walking for distance

PULLING

Pullups without kipping = 77 deadhang no rest!

(in russia bars pull you)

OAP - Cisco, 8 on both arms

STATICS

HS on wall = more than 1 hr by Chinese national gymnasts

HS on floor = ?

HS on 1 hand = ?

L-sit = ?

[Erik Sjolin]

While we're doing this, should we also list largest people to be able to do these things? Like Jim Holloway or Bert Asserati (probably muddled the spelling on that one >.<)?

[Zac Rhyne]

Distance.

[Felipe]

Yeah, also old masters and people with handicaps should be mentioned since they have records that others in their condition wont reach.

A large number of this type of records are at rosstraining blog.

3) Horse stance for time (I have of some real impressive times but don't know for certain)

Very curious about that, Kurz mentioned 30 mins at 7 feet large stance!
