Pull Up World Record Attempt


HOW MANY PULL UPS COULD YOU DO IN 24 HOURS?


Occasionally, in the Box there is someone special.

They are more motivated, more skilled and more determined than anyone else.

So it was not surprise that he is attempting the world record for most number of Pull Ups in 24 hours.

Danny Watson is a former British Army Physical Training Instructor who is also Commando trained

and a CrossFit Coach at Reebok CrossFit 3D in Manchester.

He has been training hard for this incredible athletic endeavour.

The current world record is 7,620 Pull Ups in 24 hours.set by Caine Eckstein from Australia.

However, this is yet to be validated.

Previously it was 7,306  by an American Teenager, Andrew Shapiro (May 2016) and before that

Rodney Hahn with 6,844.

Although not ratified Caine Eckstein managed 318 Pull ups per hour, or 5 Pull ups per minute.

Caine is not new to pull ups and originally set the recored with 4,020 in 12 hours.

His training included accumulating between 9,000 - 10,000 pull ups per week.

Caine reported no injuries post challenge, just being really sore!

Danny has a different strategy to Caine, working in bouts of Pull Ups rather than a 24 hour EMOM

(Every Minute On the Minute).

Danny will set himself small bit sized goals with breaks inbetween.

The world record attempt will take place on the 10th of December 2016.

The Venue will be Reebok CrossFit 3D, Manchester.

Good Luck Danny.

The Bulletproofbodies Team wish you well!
