Lifelong Long Islander Obliterates World Record For Pull-Ups

Lifelong Long Islander and former global esports champion, Doug Censor Martin, shattered the world record for most pull-ups in a 24-hour time period by completing 8,941 pull-ups in nineteen hours and three minutes – beating the previous record by almost five hours. Martin completed the challenge with a total of 9,250 pull-ups with three hours and thirty-six minutes remaining on the 24-hour clock.

Martin not only beat the previous record of 8,940 pull-ups by Kenta Adachi of Japan for the 24-hour record, but also surpassed the twelve-hour world record of 5,742 pull-ups by two hours.

Martin’s successful planning regimen required a comprehensive approach to nutrition, pull-up pacing strategy and physical and mental training. The new world record equates to Martin completing approximately:

• 470.5 pull-ups per hour
• 7.8 pull-ups per minute
• 1 pull-up every 7.7 seconds

The event, more than a year in the making through intense physical and mental preparation, took place in Farmingdale at 1 More Rep Athletics & Fitness. Martin battled sleep deprivation, a bicep strain and badly blistered and bruised hands to break the world record.

A former world record holder, Jaxon Italiano, served as Martin’s coach and flew from Australia to personally witness the record-breaking attempt, along with around-the-clock support from Martin’s family, friends and fans.

FITTEAM was the sponsor of Martin’s world record challenge, which also served as fundraiser for Project Purple to help find a cure for pancreatic cancer. Martin’s grandmother, who left an indelible impact on his life, succumbed to pancreatic cancer when he was only 12 years old. The challenge has raised almost $9,000.

Martin, an Amityville resident and formerly from Lindenhurst and Copiague, is the former world esports champion and a global influencer with more than one million followers.

“Achieving the world record is surreal,” said Martin. “I’ve always believed in pushing myself to the limit, whether it’s in gaming or in life. This world record is not just about personal achievement but about helping bring more awareness about pancreatic cancer, which took the life of my grandmother. I appreciate the humbling support and assistance from so many people, which made this longtime dream become a reality.”

FITTEAM, a leader in the health and fitness industry, sponsored the event and provided the logistical support, Guiness World Record compliance documentation and live video coverage of the entire 24-hour challenge, allowing fans and supporters to follow every moment of Martin’s historical accomplishment.

“We are thrilled to have supported Doug’s truly incredible accomplishment,” said FITTEAM Founder and CEO Chris Hummel. “Doug’s determination and resilience are truly inspiring. His amazing feat brings much-needed attention to the fight against pancreatic cancer. We are honored to have been part of this successful journey with him.”
