This daredevil fitness fanatic showed no fear as he worked out his stomach muscles - by dangling upside down over a 1,000ft drop.
Spectacular pictures show Luis Fernando Candela hanging by his feet and using his abs to hold himself in position high above a beach at Pedra do Telegrafo, Brazil.
Candela, from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, was photographed by his terrified girlfriend performing what he described as his 'most dangerous' stunt yet.
He used his incredible strength to stay still as he dangled over the edge of the rock on November 21.
He said: 'This is by far the most dangerous stunt I've tried. The only thing that was keeping me up was my strength - all the weights I've tried in the gym were building up to this moment.
'My girlfriend was terrified but I was determined to get the photo.'
Candela trained for years building up for this stunt and admits that it's not for the faint-hearted.
He said: 'I'd recommend it to anyone, it's an amazing sense of achievement. You've got to know what you're doing though because if you fall you've had it - the drop is too much.
'I've been doing it for years now and love it- you only get one life so you have to live it, there's no fun in being boring. The experience was amazing - terrifying, but amazing.'
