 The Guinness world record for the most step ups in one minute with a 40 lb pack is 52 by Robert Natoli (USA) in Oswego, New York, USA, on 4 April 2013.

  Guinness World Records also recognized the world record for the most step ups completed in one hour with an 18 kg (40 lb) pack: 1,886 - achieved by Terry Heidt (Canada) in the West Edmonton Mall in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.

  Inspired by Julian Ross, a seven year-old fighting Stage IV Neuroblastoma, Bob Natoli an entrepreneur, author, and fitness enthusiast, broke his 7th and 8th Guinness World Records dedicated to helping the Ross's and other families ravaged by childhood cancer and a bad economy.

  In an effort to help Julian and his family raise money and awareness for this devastating form of childhood cancer, Natoli took on the most prolific strength and fitness record setter in Guinness World Record history, Paddy Doyle of the UK.

  Doyle's Guinness World Record for Most Step-ups in One Minute with a 40-pound Pack (41) was accomplished June 20, 2011, in the UK.

  Natoli personally pledged $100 per step for the cause and asked others to help Julian by making their own donations.

  After breaking his second Guinness World Record Bob presented Julian's mother, Kristi Ross, a $9,900 check for Julian based on his commitment to donate $100 per step for both records.
