Sept. 24 (UPI) -- A bodybuilder known as the "Steel Man of India" added another Guinness World Records title to his name: the heaviest weight holding Hercules Pillars.
Vispy Kharadi, who has broken Guinness World Records 17 times in the past, had to hold the pillars, which each weighed 575.4 pounds, for a full minute, and he exceeded that time by 7 seconds.
He attempted the feat at the Attari border in Punjab, India.
Kharadi wrote on Instagram that the record was "dedicated to the Forces of India who protects us."
