Hi my name is Olivia Vincent and I hold the world record for the most strict pull-ups in 24 hours
0:09
I was looking for a bigger challenge and my husband and coach actually suggested 24 hours
0:15
of pull-ups to me which initially I quite literally laughed at because I thought there is
0:21
no way and then I looked at what the current record was which was 4081 and again I thought
0:29
there's no way and then after a little while I did a little bit of math on it and I thought
0:34
maybe maybe I could so I spent initially three months training for it and then my first attempt
0:42
at the 24 hours was in September 2024 I got about 12 hours into that first attempt and I pulled
0:50
my bicep tendon in my left arm which meant at that point I couldn't even do a single pull-up
0:57
After about two months off allowing my bicep tendon to repair I got back into training
1:04
I spent about three months training and then I did a 12 hour training session

Good job Liv

About three weeks later I went and attempted my 24 hour pull up world record
1:26
Getting into it it was just purely about focusing on my reps I set up my timer
1:38
My timer went off every 45 seconds, so a beep went off in my ears, so whether I was listening to music or a podcast or a book
1:44
or whatever I was listening to, that beep would constantly be going off
1:49
Right next to me, I'd print it off and I'd put up all of my rep schemes
1:53
so I knew exactly how many reps I was doing. beep went off standing up doing the reps that I needed to do at that point 19 hours in I started
2:03
to feel quite nauseous and I think it was just from being overtired it was something that I had
2:08
to just manage as best possible concern was whether my body would hold out you know that
2:14
was a part of it I only had four or five hours left My successful record total is 7,079 pull-ups in 24 hours, which averages out to be about
2:35
five pull-ups every minute for 24 hours. I have achieved a number that I genuinely didn't think was possible for me when I first
2:44
came into this. I think there is something deeply human about pushing boundaries and I think World Records
2:49
creates a very tangible marker for human potential. So moving forward it literally forces me to question everything that I don't believe
2:59
that I can do
