Corporal Srdjan Ristic has been in the Serbian Army since 2004. He started in Grosnica, in the 24th battalion for special operations, after which in 2007 he was assigned to the Kraljevo.
Since 2009, Ristic is a member of the Central Logistics Base. He is actively involved in sports since high school.
He came in contact with push ups for the first time in the fifth grade of elementary school, in physical check. Setting a record, he had no doubts that he will become the world record holder in this discipline, added in the statement.
According to Guinness rules, the record in one of the disciplines is set in two ways: arrival of the commission or by recording the activity of cameras according to established rules, and Ristic decided on the second.
After sending the material and verification of the video from the Guinness commission, the Serbian army will have "world number one" in push ups, discipline that is crowned by endurance and strength, added from the Ministry of defense.
