　　This guy is a physical education teacher in the middle school of the school, named Zhang Shuang, 28 years old this year.

Zhang Shuang is a fitness expert with special skills. He has set four Guinness World Records by handstand.

Recently, the video of him walking upside down on the sidewalk is also circulating online.

　　Handstand decompression coping with new goals after college entrance examination

　　Zhang Shuang was a physical education student in high school. In the third year of high school, due to thigh muscle strain, the college entrance examination did not perform well, so he had to repeat.

On the eve of the 2013 college entrance examination, Zhang Shuang felt that he was about to collapse in the face of the boring and high-pressure senior year life.

Later, he went to see a psychiatrist. The doctor said that this was a pre-test stress syndrome and he could try a decompression method that suits him.

So, he began to search the Internet for various ways of decompression, and accidentally saw that "five minutes of handstand is equivalent to two hours of sleep", so he decided to try it.

He uses his spare time to practice in the back of the classroom every day.

When I first started practicing, my arms could not support my body, and my knees and wrists were often broken.

But Zhang Shuang said: "Through the handstand, the pressure on study is relieved, and I feel pretty good." Just a little bit and insisted on the college entrance examination, Zhang Shuang was also admitted to his ideal sports academy.

　　On October 2, 2013, Zhang Shuang saw a CCTV program called "Guinness China Night". In the program, there was a challenger named Huang Zhongyu who challenged "walking 100 meters upside down".

At this time, Zhang Shuang, who has a certain handstand foundation, can walk up to three to five meters. He said: "Huang Zhongyu was 37 years old at the time. He was able to do it. I am so young. Through my efforts and a little bit of persistence, I should be able to do it. Do it." With a goal, Zhang Shuang began to act.

　　Zhang Shuang arranged the training in the early morning, "Usually it is at 5:20, there is no problem in summer, but in winter, the bed in the morning always makes people want to get up." Zhang Shuang is afraid that he will be inert if he does not train for a day. Find a way to make myself stick.

"I put 100 yuan in my roommate's place. If I don't get up one morning, he can use the money to buy snacks for roommates to eat. Boys are good-looking, and they have said everything. It would be too shameful if I don't get up one morning. "In this way, he slowly developed a habit, and he no longer needed to use this method to urge himself.

　　After setting a handstand walking record, he began to try handstand up and down steps

　　In 2014, Zhang Shuang met Wang Wu, the most important teacher in his life.

　　During the freshman year of practice, Zhang Shuang encountered many problems, and he couldn’t solve them completely. “In the beginning, he had to walk seven or eight times to complete the 100 meters. The farthest one was only 50 or 60 meters. I just fell down, feeling that it was impossible for me to complete this project, and I felt that I was very tired to persist.

　　Fortunately, in the second year of elective weightlifting, he met his teacher Wang Wu.

When I first met Teacher Wang Wu, Zhang Shuang was in the bottleneck period of practice, and was also injured. He wanted to give up walking upside down.

According to Zhang Shuang's training status at that time, Mr. Wang formulated a detailed training plan for Zhang Shuang's strength, arm flexibility and endurance.

Zhang Shuang has been training according to this plan without interruption.

Teacher Wang Wu will also guide or accompany Zhang Shuang to practice when he is free.

A year later, in November 2015, Zhang Shuang successfully created the "world record for walking forward 100 meters upside down" in just 58.97 seconds.

　　A few days after the record was won, Zhang Shuang received a call from the director of "Guinness China Night", inviting him to participate in a show where he stands upside down.

At the scene of the show, a staircase was erected and 40 steps were upside down. Zhang Shuang said that at the time, he was not able to climb the steps. After discussing with Mr. Wang Wu, he chose to participate in the show, "I think life is a challenge." After the challenge, Zhang Shuang practiced handstand up and down steps for more than a month.

It is a pity that Zhang Shuang challenged three times and failed three times. "I was very depressed and felt ashamed in front of the people of the whole country."

　　Received the attention of Guinness World Records Headquarters to create four Guinness Records in 7 years

　　Although the challenge failed, Zhang Shuang did not stop training on this project, and planned to challenge again in the next year, but the cooperation between the project and CCTV has ended.

Fortunately, Shandong Satellite TV has a program-"Super Surprise" with a similar project.

In January 2017, Zhang Shuang was invited to challenge up and down the steps. The program group also increased the difficulty, requiring the inverted legs to clamp the ball to complete the up and down steps, and to complete the challenge in the last three steps with a jumping posture.

Zhang Shuang challenged a total of 27 steps with a height of 5.4 meters in one minute and was successful.

　　Because of his outstanding performance, the Guinness World Records Headquarters paid attention to Zhang Shuang and invited Zhang Shuang to participate in another record challenge: walking 50 meters upside down with the ball.

In July 2016, Zhang Shuang went to London, England, to record a promotional video released by Guinness World Records and participated in the competition.

At that time, 9 challengers were invited, and Zhang Shuang was the only Asian contestant.

"I represent a Chinese college student. My words and deeds should reflect the quality of a Chinese. At that time, I wore a five-star red flag T-shirt and went." Zhang Shuang broke the "Inverted ball walking 50 meters world Record", which took 26.09 seconds, he said: "What foreigners can do, so can Chinese people."

　　In 2017, after graduating from university, Zhang Shuang came to Xiangru No. 2 Primary School in Peng'an County, Nanchong to work as a physical education teacher.

In August of that year, he received a new challenge: "1 minute wind tunnel standing front somersault world record."

　　"The wind tunnel is set in a 7-meter-high cylindrical barrel, and the foot is stepped on a soft net. It is difficult to stand firm when flipped down. In addition, the wind in the wind tunnel is very strong, which increases the difficulty." In order to challenge success. , Zhang Shuang started a new training.

He installed two rings at home, held them with his hands, and kept flipping through them. One group of 100, five or six groups every day.

"Every time I turn over two or three hundred, I have to vomit, take a break after vomiting, and then turn again." Later he went to South Korea to participate in the challenge and set his third world record.

　　In May 2018, Zhang Shuang set a world record for 60 consecutive uninterrupted skipping of handstands in Tianjin TV's "Cross-Era War Book".

　　Teaching fitness methods to netizens with special reminder "safety first"

　　In 2017, Zhang Shuang began to try live webcasts, taking the audience to exercise.

By performing exercises such as handstand walking, skipping rope, plank support, etc., he taught the audience the fitness knowledge he learned in university and the fitness experience he accumulated over the years.

In the process, he realized that it is a meaningful thing to pass the fitness experience to the public and serve the society.

Especially when fans talk to Zhang Shuang about the changes that fitness has brought to them, Zhang Shuang is even more happy.

　　After several years of live broadcasting, Zhang Shuang's physical fitness has also made breakthroughs. "Now I can do 2000 push-ups, plank support can last for three hours, continuous uninterrupted skipping is 18288 at most, and squat is 2020 at most. "

　　As a way of fitness, Zhang Shuang still insists on exercising handstand walking every day.

Although Zhang Shuang has taken videos of walking upside down on sidewalks and zebra crossings, he does not advocate for ordinary citizens to do so due to traffic safety considerations.

Zhang Shuang said that observing traffic rules and ensuring life safety is the first priority.

When filming the video, the family will help to watch the vehicles nearby, and I will always pay attention to the passing vehicles.

　　Zhang Shuang told reporters that he has done some high-intensity training or movements indoors and outdoors for many years, and there are many professional protection methods.

For example, to walk upside down or roll forward, the focus is to protect the head and cervical spine.

He advised ordinary citizens not to imitate without the guidance and protection of professional teachers.
