Waseh, according to the Guinness World Records, the most number of pull-ups done in 24 hours is an astounding 7,715 achieved by Brandon Tucker from the US in 2019.
Not that local calisthenics trainers Jordan See and Sebastian Teo aka "jordandseb" are aiming to beat that record. Rather, these fit hunks are aiming to finish 10,000 pull-ups combined in 24 hours as part of a donation drive for our migrant worker friends.
"Jordan is stronger and lighter than me," says Seb. "So, chances are, out of the 10k pull-ups, he will do 5,000++!"
