hi matt came across this site over the xmas break interesting
reading the chap you are referring to is myself,
you know one (I seen a picture of the guy who did the
512, (terrible form, I can' t believe they let him get away with
those, his knees were way out there)
what you don,t know is the photos you have seen was done
for the local papers only I was asked to do lots of silly positions
from one arm to having
one of the kids on my back etc etc if you look
carefully ,if its the photo I'm sure it is,look at the guy to the
side it may give it away that the shot is
set up, looks like a rabbit caught in the head lights,as I
now know from reading the messages on this site,you are aware I did
a 610 in one hour at the Vi-sport challenge in Belfast and competed
in the comp at 01.30pm same day, the comp is based on the ultra-
fit,there was some of the top x trainers in the world (hywel didn't
come) and to do the above in front of your peers
who would be the first to find fault if there was any,even
the judges discounted a few ,I appreciate you could only voice your
opinion on the photo ,but I do think
you should be more certain of your facts before you post a
message rubbishing someone you don't know,all the more so as your
name Matt carries a lot of
respect on this site ,from the messages I've read,the
people at Guinness have been in the records business,for a number of
years and are more than happy
with my form which is tight and tidy (English term) and
full straight line body at the end of each rep,sorry to go on but if
someone posts messages about me I feel I have the right to reply.
ps have been looking at the strend site ,i must agree with
hywel looks a great comp will give it a go even if its just for the
training it would be a good work out,just one more thing
when i first broke the record in jan i didn't do any
specific training i phoned GWR on the Friday to check out the record
which was still 445 and on the Saturday i tried it and did it with
ease so I phoned back on the Monday and asked for the form so I
could do the thing as per GWR rules when it was posted on the box-
fit Hywel was the first to tell me that you was the
true champ as I only did 512 and you had done 522 after a few
emails we agreed to disagree but your record was never accepted by
GWR why was this? it could have been down to just
incorrect paperwork who knows, well it's been nice emailing
you and look forward to your reply, all the best and a happy new
year to you and your family and all who visits this message.

regards Steve and family would love to see the video
of your 50 pull ups i think hywel may have a copy
