Aside from politely extending their dainty digits during tea sipping, it’s fair to say that most people don’t give much thought to exercising their pinky fingers. But then again, most people aren’t Maibam Itomba Meitei. The Indian man has spent 14 years perfecting his pull up technique. It gets better: He performs these great feats of strength by hoisting himself in the air using only his pinky fingers.

All of his hard work has finally been recognized, as the 112-pound man was able to perform 16 pullups in 30 seconds, setting the Guinness World Record for most consecutive pinky pull-ups

Finally, a guy you can count on not to break his pinky promises.
