Man does 10,001 pull-ups in 24 hours to reclaim world record

Truett Hanes reclaimed the Guinness World Record for the most pull-ups in 24 hours after briefly holding the title previously. His initial record was surpassed within a day by an Australian man, but Hanes persevered and reestablished the record by completing an impressive 10,001 pull-ups within the allotted time. “What I learned about myself is: I won’t give up. I wasn’t blessed with unique ability or super strength and things have never really come easily to me, but I have been gifted the ability to not give up on my goals,” he said. “Even if it takes years, I’ll see it through until it’s completed,” he told Guinness World Records.
