Rohtash Chaudhary, from Delhi's Khanpur, created a Guinness World Record for doing 847 push-ups with 60lbs on his back within an hour

- Karan Sethi

Amid South Delhi's glitter and flashy gym bods is a soul that's all about pushing boundaries — literally. With strength, determination, and endurance, 41-year-old Rohtash Chaudhary from Khanpur village has carved a moniker for himself: Push-Up Man of India.

Rohtash performed an astonishing 847 push-ups with 60lbs (27.21kg) strapped to his back, all within an hour at Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium recently. With this feat, he created a Guinness World Record, breaking the previous record of 820 push-ups held by Syria.
