A 45-year-old dad from Colorado put his physical training to the test by breaking the Guinness World Record for the most chin-ups in one hour.

Frank Sagona performed 1,010 chin-ups in the allowed time, breaking Stephen Hyland's record of 993, which has stood since 2011.




quote:

He said his attempt was made extra challenging by a muscle strain in his back the day before his official attempt.

"I felt out of breath until the 44-minute mark. I then started feeling like I could actually do it," he said. "My injury slowed my chin ups down. I actually vomited right after the event."

Sagona dedicated his record to his friend, Mike Roumph, who helped him start training for the record three years ago but died before he could see the hard work pay off.

"This record was not only for me, but for Mike's memory," he said.

I have better things to do with an hour of my time than just chin-ups.

How does this affect your ability to pound beers?

Yeah! Like watching almost a quarter of college football with 67 commercials or shitposting on the OT.

The answer for most of the board l, as it is for most people, is zero-one.

I’ll hit 3 sets of 10 in the gym to warm up occasionally. Never tried to ‘max out’ endurance wise.

With proper form, probably 75-100. At some points my arms wouldn't allow it and that's less than 2 per minute. Would be feasible to do two, rest 30-45 seconds on repeat.

I could probably do four or five back in 1996.

More than Frank Sagona, but I’m not in it for the records and attention

I'd imagine that if you're in good enough shape and trained well enough to attempt this record your grip may be the weakest link. Bet that baw did alot of hangs and other grip work during his training.

That dude did one chin-up every 3.56 seconds for a hour... he must not have any legs right?

Not sure, but when I was younger, I could throw a football about a 1/4 of a mile.
