Man who did 10,001 pull-ups in one day leaves people horrified after revealing painful effects it had on his body

A man has revealed the physical cost of breaking a world record for the most pull-ups in one day.

While many of us sit contemplating what to have for dinner, others have their minds sat on breaking Guiness World Records, however, one man's feat at breaking the world record for the most pull-ups in one day came with some pretty icky consequences for his hands.

Truett Hanes took to Instagram to reveal he did '10,001 pull-ups in 24 hours'.

He explained in the comments: "For those asking, I successfully broke the record for most pull-ups in 24 hours by 751 reps with a total of 10,001.

Indeed, the Guinness World Records website states: "The most pull ups in 24 hours (male) is 10,001, and was achieved by Truett Hanes (USA) in Salt Lake City, Utah, USA, from 1 to 2 February 2025.

"The attempt began at 11am February 1st and concluded at 9:16am on February 2nd.

However, the stunt certainly came at a cost for Hanes - or more specifically, his hands.

Hanes himself noting he 'wore gloves' but 'it didn't make a difference', sharing a close-up of his red, raw, puffy and dry-skinned hands.

Warning: Do not try this at home - and the Guinness World Records notes an age restriction of 16 years old for applications for the record title.

The video goes on to show Hanes' hands in the days following his record breaking win too.

Day one sees his hands still very puffed up and with dry skin, and cracks and day two isn't much better, nor three.

The third day, one of his fingers looked like the top layer of skin has been fully ripped off - I can only apologise if you watched the video while eating.

However, 'one week later,' and Hanes was back to doing pull-ups on a bar, and outside in the snow no less.

The fitness fanatic stated his hands were '100 percent healed', and it's not taken long for people to weigh in.

One Instagram user said: "100 percent healed is a bit of a stretch."

However, Hanes responded: "looks can be deceiving, they’ve never felt better."

"His index finger was reborn," another added.

And a third commented: "Was so confused and 'wtf is bro doing' until i saw that you did it for charity. That's like a small cut to the skin to give a whole new life to others. Love your sacrifices man."
