THE MAN BEHIND 365 LIONS
I’m Ilja Mazar from Düsseldorf. Since January 2024, I’ve done push-ups every single day – live, no excuses. That routine turned into world records – and into 365 Lions, the app I train with myself every day.
The name comes from my challenge 365ILI: 365 days a year. And lions don’t quit.
RECORDS & MILESTONES
Kicked off the daily push-up challenge under the name 365ILI – every day, live on TikTok and Instagram.
World record with the International Book of Records: 1,950 push-ups in one hour – without getting up and without stopping (12 May 2025, Düsseldorf).
Guinness World Record: 1,651 Chest-to-Ground push-ups in 60 minutes.
The 2026 year-long challenge kicks off with 1,005 push-ups on Day 1 – five more every day.
At FIBO in Cologne: 2,214 Chest-to-Ground push-ups in one hour – another Guinness World Records title.
10,600 push-ups nonstop in the plank position.
Day 1,000 in a row – celebrated with 2,000 push-ups on a livestream.
365 Lions: the app born from that routine.
