UPI – An American man has reclaimed the Guinness World Record for the most pull-ups in 24 hours after briefly holding the title before losing it in less than a day.
Truett Hanes initially broke the record two years ago with 8,100 pull-ups, only to have Australian Gary Lloyd surpass him just hours later with 8,600 pull-ups.
Determined to reclaim his title, Hanes has now set a new benchmark, completing an astonishing 10,001 pull-ups in 24 hours.
“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.
