Watch: Idaho man scoops water with his hands to break his own world record
May 20 (UPI) -- The Idaho man who holds the most concurrent Guinness World Records titles beat one of his own records by using his hands to transfer 1.3 gallons of water between two containers in 30 seconds. David "Record Breaker" Rush said it originally took him five years of attempts to set the record for most water moved by the hands in 30 seconds before he finally broke it in 2024 with 112.4 ounces of water successfully transferred. Rush said several of his early attempts were disqualified due to Guinness World Records rules violations, including his pitcher of water moving slightly and using a non-approved surface. Rush took aim at his own record and "obliterated" it with 172.5 ounces, or 1.3 gallons, of water moved. Rush wrote the record taught him that "persistence pays off, the weirdest goals can lead to rewarding victories, and that sometimes, breaking your own record is even sweeter than setting the first one."

Watch: Chopstick 'ninja' skills earn Idaho man a Guinness World Record
March 31 (UPI) -- The world's top Guinness World Record-breaker put his "ninja" skills to the test by using chopsticks to hit a target across a distance of 13 feet. Idaho man David "Record Breaker" Rush, who holds the most concurrent Guinness World Records, reclaimed the record for the most target hits with chopsticks in one minute. The record requires a prospective record-breaker to stand 13 feet away and hit the inner gold and red circles of the archery target. "Chopsticks flew. One after another, they sailed through the air, finding their mark in the coveted gold and red zones. The rhythm was almost meditative, each successful hit fueling the next," Rush recalled. Rush originally set the record at 19 hits, but his title was later taken by another chopstick marksman who managed 21. Rush successfully retook the record with 29 hits.
