Sri Chinmoy Sets New Record

The dumbbell is so heavy that it takes two strong assistants just to place the weight on a cradle which is then lowered on Sri Chinmoy's quadriceps. After the cradle is separated and out of the way, he then curls the entire weight with only his wrist muscles.

Super fit at 74, Sri Chinmoy states: "You may wonder why I do such stupid things at the ripe old age of 74! My inner pilot, God is my inspiration. He is my Aspiration. He is my Protector. I give Him all the credit."

Asked about his message to others, Sri Chinmoy says; "Never give up! Never give up! Physical fitness is of paramount importance. There is no age limit when we live in the heart and when we try to be of prayerful and soulful service to God in the heart of humanity

Jim Smith, long-time Registrar of the British Amateur Weight Lifters Association and an expert on lifting heavy weights exclaimed:
“I am certain that nobody else in the world can do a wrist curl with a 200 pound dumbbell—no matter how old they are or how much they weigh! The strongest men in the world are seeing that a septuagenarian is curling with one arm much more than twice the weight that the world’s best bodybuilders and weightlifters can curl with two arms.”

Five-time Mr. Universe Bill Pearl and holder of the “Best Built Man of the 20^th Century” title stated: “In  more than 60 years in the fitness and bodybuilding field I have never heard of anyone in the world able to curl this huge amount of weight! This is a miracle to me!”
