Woman Does 7,079 Pull-Ups in 24 Hours, Almost Double the Previous World Record
odditycentral -

A 34-year-old Australian woman smashed the Guinness World Record for the most pull-ups performed by a woman in 24 hours by doing a whopping 7,079 pull-ups.

To say Olivia Vinson put the old record for most pull-ups by a woman in 24 hours to shame would be an understatement, considering that the Australian fitness enthusiast nearly doubled it. The achievement began as a wild proposition from her husband and coach, and even though initially she just laughed at the idea of challenging a world record, it eventually started to make sense. Olivia trained for three months before taking on the challenge in September of last year, but 12 months into her attempt, she pulled a bicep tendon, which rendered her unable to perform pull-ups anymore. She had to cancel the whole thing, but after healing for a few months, she was back to breaking the Guinness World Record.
