Talking Abs and Muscle Recovery with Ab Exercise World Record Holder – Alicia Weber

By: Weber Way to Wellness Reporter

Sit Up World Record Holder, Alicia Weber had previously talked abs when she discussed the muscles used to perform a situp and explained the exercise. Today, Alicia will talk about her latest ab exercise world record and her muscle recovery.

Alicia was challenged by a fan to set the longest 6-12 inch straight leg hold and she did just that when she set the RecordSetter World Record for the longest 6-12 inch straight leg hold on August 1, 2012. Alicia even surpassed what she ever thought she would do, when she set the world record for a mind boggling 31 minutes and 36 seconds. I asked Alicia how she did it and Alicia answered, “Blocking out the pain and preparing before the event with massage therapy. It becomes more of a mind game after awhile.”

I then asked Alicia how she physically prepared for the event and what she expected she would do and Alicia answered, “I have been setting and re-setting knee tuck and 5 and 30 minute duration situp records since April 2012, so come August my abs are in pretty top form right now and I just became first human to break 1,000 reps of situps in 30 minutes using proper form (where hands aren’t allowed to help and are placed only on side of head above ears) when I did 1,023 reps in 30 minutes for a RecordSetter World Record on July 17, 2012. Due to my record setting for rep based ab records, I knew I could do well for the isometric ab record, but I thought I could only see myself doing 20 minutes maybe 25 at top. I definitely got a second wind of endurance to exceed 30 minutes and I believe it is because of my massage therapy!”

Alicia Weber said, “Massage therapy and muscle training go hand in hand. In order to be a long-term elite athlete, I have regular massage therapy to keep the muscles limber and nutrient rich and free of stiffness and immobility where metabolites and lactic acid feast!”

Alicia is also a licensed massage therapist and degreed and certified fitness trainer and Alicia can certainly see the benefits her own trainees gain when they combine regular fitness training with regular massage therapy including Cherie Oney – the oldest person to run with her dog and compete in AKC Dog Shows, as well as, Multiple Running World Record Holder for women over 70 – Roxann Steinke.

Rope Climbing Removed from Olympics, But Sport is Still ALIVE!

BY: Weber Way to Wellness Reporter

If rope climbing was still an Olympic sport, Alicia Weber (multiple Rope Climbing World Record Holder) would be hauling in gold medals for Team USA!!

Rope climbing was contended in the Olympics first in the late 1800’s with the event that is Alicia’s specialty – L position arms only rope climbing. However, given the level of difficulty and too few competitors, the event was changed to arms only rope climbing with legs dangling in 1904 and remained that way thru the 1932 Olympics and then rope climbing was removed all together starting in the 1936 Olympics.

Alicia Weber is one of the few competitors still tackling rope climbing where she has amassed a dozen world records between the Record Books (Book of Alternative Records and RecordSetter World Records).

I ask Alicia what is her motivation to keep rope climbing. Alicia says, “It is very challenging and I like challenges. I get bored with the same old athletic events and rope climbing offers a twist to sports and builds great physical fitness.”

Alicia broke her L-Position Arms Only 12ft Rope Climb record by nearly a full second during the London Olympics. Alicia says, “I got excited watching the Olympics and thought about what it would be like if I was around in the late 1800’s – early 1900’s and could go for Olympic gold – that motivated me to blow away the world record!”

Alicia re-set the 12ft L-Position Rope Climb record that starts in seated position in a time of 3.96 seconds on July 31, 2012. In comparison, female gymnasts take an Elite Physical Fitness Abilities Test and their best in a similar L position climb has been 4.99 seconds and Alicia’s former record for the event was 4.8 seconds.

In Alicia describing her excitement of the physical fitness challenges rope climbing offers, she attempted a totally new type of record combining running with arms only speed rope climbing for the Ultimate Cardio/Strength Workout!

On August 3, 2012, in the Florida 90 degree heat, Alicia attempted the first ever 1500m run with 96ft Arms Only Rope Climb. Alicia climbs 12ft arms only after every other 100m and starts in a seated position and does this for a total of 8 climbs during her 1500m run. She completed the effort in a new benchmark of 7 minutes and 18 seconds.

Alicia Completes 1500m Run with 96ft Arms Only Rope Climb for new record.

With the many physical fitness challenges Alicia tests with rope climbing and her re-setting of world records in speed rope climbing, Alicia is keeping the sport of rope climbing ALIVE and well!

Alicia Weber sets World Record for Most Exercise World Records in One Month AND MORE!!

By: Weber Way to Wellness Reporter

May 2012 was the Record Challenge Month for RecordSetter World Records where record holders competed to set the most impressive records and out of 360 records set, 4 of Alicia’s records made Top 10 Most Impressive Record List and Alicia was selected as the Most Awesome Record Setter, but Alicia had her own agenda in this month long contest.

Multiple Exercise World Record Holder – Alicia Weber set the personal goal of setting more exercise records in ONE Month than she ever set in an entire year! She would have to set more than 24 records to achieve this goal.

On top of this goal, Alicia set other standards on herself to make this a bigger obstacle…she had to win at least one running race, work and train everyday (no rest days), win at least one Record of the Day title, and she would have to attempt to re-set her toughest records yet (find out what they are below).

Do you think Alicia (nicknamed “The Machine”) reached her goal AND met the standards she set on herself?

YES, The Results: 35 achievements in ONE month (26 exercise records set, one running race won, and 8 Record of The Days earned!!)

Alicia says, “I got my toughest strength test out of the way first when I re-set my World Record on May 3, 2012, with 91 consecutive bar dips in 5 minutes where arms break 90 degrees (previously set in April with 85). I then re-set my toughest endurance record near the end of the month when I knew I would be pretty fatigued from everything – I knocked 1 minute off my record time for fastest time to complete 500 chinups/500 pushups. Additionally several records that I set for the first time in April, I made myself get the energy to re-set in less than a month later!”

“Hammer Head”, Alicia’s fitness trainee, comments on Alicia’s efforts and says, “A true test in a real, serious athlete is if they are able to negative split. Alicia meets that test.”

Alicia exclaims, “Yes, I want to feel like a machine and I am in better shape now than ever. Back in college running for JJ Clark, a goal was to work on negative splits and that was something I had to work on then, but now it comes more naturally through all the years of practice.”

A Big Fan adds, “Alicia sets records but also has records AT setting records!”

I ask Alicia if she is tired yet?! Alicia says,”Honestly, I thought I would be, but I am really not too tired, but I am making my body rest a little as I know it needs rest. This is my 134th world record in physical fitness and personally, it is my favorite so far as it is an exciting all around test for me in stamina!”

Alicia earned title on May 29th for “Most Exercise Records Set, Running Races Won, and Records of the Day Earned in One Month” set the Month of May 2012. Watch her World Record Video where she shows her 35 achievements below:

Squats Exercise and World Records with RecordSetter

By: Alicia Weber Click here to visit JD Productions.

I believe squats are the best overall leg strength building exercise for the legs. There are many types of squats, but today I briefly discuss balance squats and deep squats. Reap the rewards from squatting and one can get strength gains that correlate to better running, bicycling, and even stand up paddle boarding.

On March 29, 2012, I set the world record (for the 3rd time) for Most Deep Squats in 3 Minutes when I did 167 deep squats in three minutes. The magic “three minutes” I do because that isn’t too long and not too short to hold at a very high aerobic threshold and still test my endurance (It’s like the 800m run, which is in between a sprint and middle distance event). Deep squat training is responsible for increasing my power on my bike and it gave me the edge to be only triathlete that kept increasing speed over duration of challenging bike leg in my 2008 ITU Sprint U-30 National Championship Triathlon. Deep squats also help my endurance to compete in mountain running championships.

Just minutes after re-setting the deep squat world record on March 29, 2012, I then set the world record for the Most Swiss Ball Squats in One Minute, which are very difficult as they test balance. These are a relatively new exercise for me as I did my 1st try at swiss ball squats on Jan 15, 2011, and I was certainly NOT doing them in my usual strict form as you will see HERE. However, through perserverance I mastered the swiss ball! Swiss Ball Squatting has helped me become better at Stand Up Paddle Boarding where balance is key.
* Both of these are Official World Records published and verified by RecordSetter, click links above to go to records or watch video below for record video.

Alicia Weber’s Low Back Challenge

By:  Alicia Weber Click here to visit JD Productions.

Low Back Challenge a.k.a “Prone Double Straight Leg Isometric Raise Test”

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=toLffDaqJ2s

Would you like to test yourself in a low back challenge?  The low back challenge or more specifically the “Prone Double Straight Leg Isometric Raise Test” can discover the strength (or weakness) of your back extensors and predict low back pain potential.  Watch the video above to get the instructions for the test and watch as I take the test.  Below are the main muscles that are tested in this low back challenge.

Low Back Challenge Muscles

Alicia Weber’s Extreme Ab Challenge!

By:  Alicia Weber Click here to visit JD Productions.

Are you aware that in today’s world low back pain affects 70 – 80% of the population with at least one occurrence during their lifetime?  The back extensor involved with trunk muscle endurance will “make it or break it.”  These trunk muscles control posture and lumber spine forward bending.  Studies show significant decrease in back extensor endurance and a decrease in abdominal muscular endurance in patients with low back pain.

Therefore, patients with low back pain need to be very careful when selecting exercises and performing core training as they can have a loss of muscle control from trunk muscle fatigue, which is a cause of low back pain.
[ad]
On the back side of things, exercising trunk muscle endurance and abdominal muscular endurance are important for preventing back pain.  An example of this would be doing supine double straight leg isometric holds at 20 degrees and even doing Leg Lifts.

On the front side of things, the prone double straight leg isometric raise test has been shown to be one of the most accurate tests in evaluating back health.  This test isolates the lumbar spine multifidus muscle, which is known to cause back pain (when it is weak).  This test can predict back pain by testing the endurance of the back extensor.

NOW BACK UP FOR THIS…

Alicia Weber, the Sit Up World Record Holder that is all about preventive health does an Extreme Ab Challenge….1500 Leg Lifts and 25 Minutes of Straight Leg Isometric Holds AND MORE (all consecutive)!!

Alicia Weber sets 30 Minute Pullup World Record for 4th time and Adds Squats

By:  Weber Way to Wellness Reporter Click here to visit JD Productions.

CLERMONT, FL – On January 30, 2011, Alicia Weber sets her first world record of 2011.  Alicia set her 30-minute pull up world record for the 4th time and it was done in rare form!  Alicia says she needed an extra challenge, so she did squats and pullups in the SAME 30 minutes.  The Results:  Alicia performed 419 pullups and 61 squats in the SAME 30 minutes (breaking her former stand alone pullup world record by 21 reps).  Alicia’s squats were performed with arms held straight out and legs coming to 90′ or breaking 90′ on all reps.

Alicia calls this her most strategically challenging world record (out of the now 44 world records she set).  What was it like setting this world record?

Alicia says, “It was not only muscularly challenging as I had to do a minimum of 14 pullups per minute to break my former record (and no less than 10 reps/minute with the squats), but it was also aerobically challenging with the 61 squats.  I had a steady heart rate of 170 – 180 beats per minute.  Without squats, it could drop to 130 beats per minute.   I was really huffing and puffing as you can see in the video below.  There are 3 camera views required chin view, front full body view, and side full body view.  I had to stay mentally alert with perfect form as I went from squats to pullups also.”

Half-Way Point for 30 minutes of Pullups with Squats in the SAME 30 minutes

Then a week later – MORE WORLD RECORDS…On February 8, 2011, Alicia pushed out her 2nd world record of 2011 in the 30-minutes of Pushups where she did 829 reps.


Alicia Weber Wishes Holiday Cheer & Says Goodbye to 2010 with Extreme Endurance Strength Feat!

By:  Weber Way to Wellness Reporter Click here to visit JD Productions.

November 2, 2010–Alicia Weber’s tricep muscles were excited and drooling over a final challenge!  She decided to test herself at the toughest type of 2-arm and 2-leg pushups for endurance – 30 -minutes of Tricep Pushups.  She already holds world records in a variety of regular 2-arm pushups and one-arm pushups categories.  However, tricep pushups are not a record cateogry, and she is just doing these tricep pushups for fun in the vieo below!  In 2010, Alicia ends her year with a record 24 world records in strength, speed, and endurance verified by the Book of Alternative Records and featured in World Record Holder’s Republic the registry for Human Achievement World Record Holders.

Tricep Pushup Hand Pushup
Tricep Pushup Hand Position

The tricep pushups for endurance isolate the 3 tricep muscles (medial head, lateral head, and long head of the tricep m.).  Maxing out and going for 30-minutes is VERY challenging on the triceps AND the ABS as they stabilize the core and keep a straight body position.  Rules:  Tricep Pushups must be performed on a hard surface, arms start in full extension, and end bent with chest touching floor as hands are held in a triangle position (as shown here).  Legs stay straight with no lifting of the hips.  Rest breaks are allowed.

Watch Alicia “World Record” Weber do 556 tricep pushups in 30-minutes.  Enjoy!

Alicia Weber “The Machine” – World Records

By:  Alicia Weber Click here to visit JD Productions.
The images below are Copyrighted to Alicia Weber at AliciaWeber.com

I was first nicknamed “The Machine” in high school when I would run and win cross country races and track and field races from sprint to long distances. I became a 2 x All-American in the 10,000 meters, while in high school at Junior Nationals and I medaled at National Championships in events from 1,500m -10,000 meter runs and 5k cross country.  The nickname of “The Machine” continues as I have over 400 world records in strength, speed, and endurance, and I am a professional fitness trainer.

I graduated from University of Florida where I was a letter winner in Track and Cross Country. I have B.S. degrees in Biology and Communication.  I was then in a Doctorate of Physical Therapy program to expand my specialty of aquatic therapy.  My clients also refer to me as “The Machine” as I train with each and every one of them to motivate them.  When I am not training people, I am training myself in world record setting or training for the 17 sports I compete in on an elite level.  I am really W-I-L-D  about exercise and physical fitness!!!

I must warn you though – I do have an alter ego and I get the urges at times to get off the athletic field and get ON STAGE!  I have been an entertainer for a variety of acts for years!   I am most known for my “One Woman Shows” where I combine “character comedy” with strength feats! I perform Live and I have a line of shows here.  Here’s a preview of my 7 character comedy show.

My creative energies carry over into other areas as well.  I am an author, illustrator, and poet.  I published my first book on marine biology and my second book on physical fitness is found here. You can learn more about me as the athlete here and as the fitness professional here.

Now, let’s crank the engine and see what a human performance machine can do…Below are my world records in over 27 categories of exercises (the exercise world records are listed alphabetically). I keep re-setting my own records and I garner new ones.

* NOTE:  Starting in 2012, I am setting world records exclusively with RecordSetter.com, the world’s fastest growing world record book where I also compete with men for overall world records.  I set over 50 world records for women with The Book of Alternative Records from 2008 -2011 – those records are listed below.  CLICK HERE for Alicia’s RecordSetter World Records.
