Jarryd Rubinstein, 26, from Sydney, last week registered 25 muscle-ups – a combination of a chin-up and a dip in which the body is raised above the bar with the arms straightened. The previous record was 15.
Rubinstein, a 143-pound muscleman who trains at Bondi Beach, told JTA he spent his three years in the elite Sayeret Golani counter-terror unit “preventing hundreds of casualties” in operations against Palestinian terrorists in the Gaza Strip and Nablus.
Hope he does well and spreads the name of the IDF in a postive light as well as their postion.
Although it is wrongly to give this sport any credit, as a Frum Jew this is wrong. It was what the Yevonim were doing!
Am Yisroel Chai, we should all be proud of Mr. Rubinstein, a strong and physically fit body is not at all in contradiction to the Torah,it says Vnishmartem Meod Lnafshisachem, the Torah tells us to take care of our bodies and keep them fit and strong
What a farkrumta mentality, #2 .
My 9 yr old finished the whole mishnayos yesterday and all he got was a bike.
#5 unbelievable is an understatement !!! Buy him something as a parent! Lots of nachas!
I had a feeling that all the couch potatoes will have something negative to say. Kol hakavod to him and to all those who keep themselves fit.
