Ammon News - An Australian fitness enthusiast completed 7,079 pull-ups in 24 hours nearly doubling the previous Guinness World Record.

Olivia Vinson, 34, told Guinness World Records she was looking for a challenge when her husband and coach suggested she attempt the record for the most pull-ups in 24 hours (female).

"I was looking for a bigger challenge and my husband and coach actually suggested 24 hours of pull ups, which I initially, quite literally, laughed at because I thought there was no way," Vinson recalled. "I looked up what the current record was, which was 4,081, and again I thought, 'There's no way.'"

Vinson said it was only after she crunched the numbers on the previous record, which was set by Polish woman Paula Gorlo in 2021, that she started to reconsider.

"After a little while, I did some maths on it and I thought maybe I could," she said.

Vinson trained for three months before her first attempt, which ended prematurely.

"I got about 12 hours in it and I pulled a bicep tendon in my left arm, which meant at that point I couldn't even do a single pull-up," Vinson said.

The athlete managed to complete the attempt with 7,079 pull-ups an average of five pull-ups every minute. UPI news
