Sri Chinmoy's new record

NEW YORK: Sri Chinmoy's New Record: On Thursday the 69-year old Sri Chinmoy set a new world record in New York City by lifting 1050 pounds in the seated calf raise machine over one inch high. The unprecedented feat of strength which completely isolates the calf muscles on a standard exercise machine astounded the world's top fitness experts. The most weight which anyone of any age has been said to have lifted in the standing calf raise, a much less difficult lift, is 600 pounds. Five-time Mr. Universe and the World's Best Built Man of the Century, Bill Pearl, said ``Sri Chinmoy is an astounding individual. He is constantly playing at the absolute end of the line!'' Explaining how he can accomplish his amazing feats of physical strength at nearly 70 years old, Sri Chinmoy states, ``If we remain in a childlike heart, then age can never be a barrier and there is no end to our progress.''
