Truett Hanes, an American fitness enthusiast, has reclaimed the Guinness World Record for the most pull-ups in 24 hours, having previously held the title for less than a day.
Hanes, who set a record of 8,100 pull-ups in the allotted time period two years ago, saw his achievement surpassed less than 24 hours later by Australian Gary Lloyd, who performed 8,600 pull-ups.
Determined to retake the title, Hanes made another attempt and successfully completed 10,001 pull-ups in 24 hours. "What I learned about myself is: I won't give up," Hanes said. "
"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. Even if it takes years, I'll see it through until it's completed," he added in an interview with Guinness World Records.
