• GWR Day: Most Weight Squat Lif

  • From: gwr_day
  • Description:

    On the 12 November 2009 also known as Guinness World Records™ day, Shaun Jones was attempting to break his second world record in 8 days, during the build up to his attempt to break the record for Most Weight Squat Lifted in One Hour Shaun broke the record for the Fasted Hot Water Bottle Burst on the set of Blue Peter, smashing the previous record of 51.98 seconds set in the USA 2006, Shaun achieved an incredible time of 18.81 seconds.

    The day had come after 5 long years of hard training and preparation for this amazing record attempt, Shaun who lives in Wroxham but runs a business based in Norwich, beat weightlifters from all over the world when he won his squat lifting class in the World Drug Free Powerlifting Federation this year, and also won at the British Powerlifting Championships. Shaun said this was the event he’d been training for as it was a life goal to become a Guinness World Records™ record holder.

    

    Shaun and his team had done a lot of advertising for the huge event to raise money for the British Heart Foundation.

    As the crowds came in to support their local hero he was warming up out the back with some light squats and a easy bike ride to raise his heart rate to get the vital leg muscles ready for this gruelling record attempt.

    The stage was set, the crowds were in, Shaun was ready to start, on my signal Dominic (Shaun’s motivational coach and event MC) started the count down which got both the crowd and Shaun pumped up, Shaun started with a very impressive 240.4kg squat lift before moving onto 100.4kg for the majority of the record attempt.

    

    As the record was underway the crowds of people were cheering along to help keep Shaun motivated and focused on his target of becoming a Guinness World Records™ success.

    I could see the drive and determination in Shaun’s eyes as he continuously squatted the heavy 100.4kg bar. As time went on it was clear this record attempt was taking its toll as Shaun was starting to look drained and tired as the clock was counting down, as the end of the hour approached Shaun was putting every ounce of effort he had into the last and final few reps, these could be the ones to either make or brake his life dream.

    

    The clock had finished and Shaun was unable to stand, proving he could of done no more, now it was a case of was his best good enough to beat the current record, this was set at 41,600kg, achieved last year in Russia by Sergey Rachinskey.

    After confirming with the weight lifting judges how many reps were successful to the national powerlifting standards, I totalled up the lifts an it was my pleasure to announce Shaun’s final total weight, in the one hour period he had managed to lift a massive 46,798.8kg setting a new Guinness World Records™ achievement.

    

    Shaun Jones demonstrated both physical and mental strength throughout the whole record attempt, allowing him to set this incredible bench mark for powerlifters from all over the world to now try and beat.

    Dr. Thienna Ho (Geneticist and Author) Sets New Guinness Book World Record for Most Sumo Squats in One Hour SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. ? On December 16, at the age of almost 40, Dr. Thienna, a leading skin care author who is conscious of health and fitness on all levels, broke the Guinness Book World Record for the most Sumo squats in one hour. The event was overseen by an official adjudicator from the U.K. at the San Francisco State University Basketball Gymnasium. Adjudicator, Carlos Martinez, watched while Dr. Thienna, without a break, completed an incredible 5,135 squats in one hour. Dr. Thienna started practicing the Sumo squat in her 20s when she felt it was time to start maintaining her physical health. She was first introduced to the move by her father, a fourth-degree black belt. "Sumo squats work every major muscle group in the body," Dr. Thienna said. "Specifically, they help to strengthen problem areas such as the inner and outer thighs while working the whole upper body and providing a vigorous cardiovascular workout and improved flexibility." Dr. Thienna is thrilled about having achieved this new record, not only for personal satisfaction, but to raise the awareness of the benefits associated with Sumo squat exercise, especially for women. "Squat exercises are typically associated with men. My hope is that women will embrace this exercise as it targets many common problem areas that typically concern them," Thienna explained. Sharing her love of health and fitness is what Dr. Thienna enjoys most. She is the author of "Unlocking the Mystery of Skin Color" (ISBN: 978-0-9792103-0-3), a book that teaches people how to obtain a brighter, clearer, and healthier complexion. During research for the book, she discovered that the techniques involved in the Natural Fairskin Method(TM), not only gave her a clear and healthy complexion, but it also provided her with amazing strength, endurance, and stamina. When Dr. Thienna first started practicing squats, she did them three times per week, 500-1,000 squats per session. Normally, it took 30 to 45 minutes to complete each session. So, to complete 5,135 in one hour is a tremendous breakthrough and one which she greatly attributes to the Natural Fairskin Method(TM). In addition, Dr. Thienna reports no back, shoulder, wrist, hip, or knee pain; minor muscle soreness quickly disappears.
