UPI – A Canadian man, Khashayar Farzam, unofficially shattered a Guinness World Record by bench-pressing his body weight 38 times in just 30 seconds.

Farzam, who already holds the record for the most weight bench-pressed in 30 seconds, made this impressive attempt at Lil’s Gym in Kitchener, aiming to set a second record.

“I weighed in at 201.8 pounds and the mark to beat was 38 reps. I did 44 reps today,” Farzam told CTV News.

Evidence from his attempt is now being submitted to Guinness World Records to see if he has officially broken a second record.
