Joey and I had to punch each other thousands of times to make this happen. We bled. We sweated. We bruised. We got rid of the unfair pain when Joey made me take off my brass knuckles (wedding band).

The final result: 273 alternating fist bumps in 30 seconds taking down the previous record of 174 by a large margin. We actually made contact 297 times in 30 seconds but Guinness has stringent qualifications for what constitutes valid alternating fist bumps and 24 had to be disqualified.

This one was more technical and challenging than the record I previously set for the most fist bumps in 1 minute with different people.

The main area of technique we had to work on was Joey’s drifting left arm. When moving each hand back and forth 5 times per second, it’s easy to lose control over some aspects and have form degrade.

Joey holds 1 other GWR himself (the fastest time to put on a t-shirt while doing a handstand) and has also been a model (and wrapped with wrapping paper).
