An athlete by profession, 24-year-old Clark is no doubt an inspiration for all and has rightly proved the words 'No Excuses' as tattooed on his back. Though what is more inspiring is that the person is differently-abled and completely relies on his hands for survival. Speaking about his new feat, Clark has won Guinness World Records titles for the highest box jump with hands and the most diamond push-ups in 3 minutes.In a video posted by Guinness World Records on their Twitter handle, the athlete achieved the two titles at a gym based in Los Angeles on 13 October 2022 in the presence of a GWR official.
