Self Proclaimed ‘Pull Ups Aficionado’ Sets Guinness World Record For Most Pull Ups In 60 Seconds

Guinness World Records


I’ve never heard of Adam Sandel until today but I like the cut of his jib. He’s a self-proclaimed ‘pull ups aficionado’ and ‘fitness enthusiast’, and truth be told this bro is actually in pretty insane shape.

Adam Sandel just worked his way into the record books by setting the Guinness World Record for most pull ups in one minute. He was able to fire off 51 pull ups in 60 seconds, just narrowly missing out on 52 pull ups. For this record, Adam had his friend Ron Cooper on hand to provide him with the motivation needed to break this record.

The previous Guinness World Record for ‘most pull ups in 60 seconds’ was set at 50. Adam Sandel tied that record with 11 seconds to spare but at that point, his body was feeling the burn. His back, chest, and arms were all screaming. Getting that last pull up done in 11 seconds took a Herculean effort from Adam and it’s impossible to watch this record setting feat without having an insane amount of respect for him.
