March 19 (UPI) -- A Pakistani athlete broke the same Guinness World Record for a third time by performing 66 thumb pushups with one leg raised in one minute.
Muhammad Arshad, who has broken more than 14 Guinness World Records for feats of athleticism, earned the title for the most thumb push-ups with one leg raised in one minute for a third time in May 2025, the record-keeping organization said.

"Thumb push-ups are one of the most difficult and rare exercises, requiring exceptional strength, balance and mental toughness," Arshad told Guinness World Records. "This uniqueness is what drew me toward them."
He said keeping balanced on his thumbs with one leg bent at a 90-degree angle was one of the biggest challenges during training.
"Time is limited, the body becomes exhausted, yet maintaining balance and meeting the strict 90-degree bend requirement is extremely challenging," he said. "Even a small mistake can invalidate the entire attempt."
