I did a forum search for this topic being as video date was last September but came up with nothing so excuse repost if you've all seen it, maybe Michael is even here somewhere?

Anyway I was impressed

Vegan athlete Michael Griesmeier set a world record by walking up and down stairs with a backpack weighing 66 lbs (30 kg) for six hours.

No idea how or who might record such records - I just liked the determination he shows!

everyone can be a world record holder, just find a combination no one has done before. I'm planning on setting the world record for crawling 400m in a sleeping bag. I hope it's going to be as impressing as I hope, I am very determined
