Pound for Pound

I first broke this record back in 2019 with a run of 21.69 seconds. It requires passing 40 lbs of weight hand to hand 100 times. The previous record was about 32 seconds so I crushed it. It has since been lowered to 17.34 seconds.

This time I spent a few more sessions training in the gym and also learned that Guinness allows gloves to be worn. My main problem is my local YMCA has several 40 lbs weights but all of them weighed in just under 40 lbs. The closes was 39.7 lbs but that’s not good enough for Guinness. I had to level up to the 45 lb weight that weighed in at 44.8 lbs. That’s an extra 480 lbs of weight I had to transfer, or about an extra 29 lbs per second of weight I had to transfer! I had a few official attempts and landed on this one of 16.44 seconds.
