Morstead, arguably the NFL’s fittest punter, put his fitness to the test for a heart-warming cause, as he set out to help raise $60,000 for a school fund for the children of Chris Cordaro, a former Saints employee who was diagnosed with neuroendocrine carcinoma in the pancreas, liver, bone, spine, scalp and multiple lymph nodes in 2015.
quote:
He had a goal of 400 pull-ups in the hour (he did them in one-minute intervals, in which he’d do several pull ups, then break for the remainder of the minute, then repeat). He completed 418, and has helped raise $48,645 so far. Two days remain in which donations can be made into the fund for Cordaro’s children, 7-year-old Ava and 4-year-old Landon.

Dude is a beast, I remember him benching 160 lb dumbells for like 8 reps. That's pretty damn strong for a punter.

Not to take anything away from Morestead, that is a great and worthy accomplishment but this is insane.

Four pullups a minute. Most sailors could do that for a few minutes before getting tired. But Air Traffic Controller 1st Class (AW) Mike McCastle did that for 24 hours.
The 28-year-old petty officer shattered the Guinness World Record for most pullups with 5,804 in 24 hours on Sept. 27 at North End Fitness in Oak Harbor, Washington. On this second attempt, he even upped the ante by wearing a 30-pound pack.
"I wanted to come back from failure and be stronger the next time," he said. McCastle broke the record set in May by Virginia Military Institute alumnus John Bocek, who did 5,801 pullups in 24 hours. It was about 1,700 more pullups than he attempted last August, when he tried to break the previous record of 3,202 set by Chief Special Operator (SEAL) David Goggins in 2013.

What, no Chad response. Lurking in the shadows, no doubt. Come on in Chad, "the water is fine"!

Beast mode, on and off the field. He’ll punt for us until he’s 50!

418 real pull-ups. None of that Crossfit crap.

Great effort and accomplishment...but I'm sure my fellow Marines would agree those aren't "real" pull ups.
