Apenis has done this 5 times.

me and clavin do some pullups on back day sometimes when we train
-
Apenis has done this 5 times.
Apenis actually does weighted pullups.
-
I generally do 150 as the 1st part of my back workout and takes about 30 mins. my arms and tendons are pretty taxed when finished. i dont know how he could do it for 24 hours straight.
-
getting sent to prison.
-
Fucking impressive as hell.
-
I can do 18. :-\
Chins. :-\
-
Fucking impressive as hell.
Not really, when you read this part:
During his mission to set a new mark for the most pull-ups in 24 hours on May 30, he also broke the 6- and 12-hour world records.
It's not like he did them in 5-10 minutes...I'd say that many on here could do what he did in that time frame.
-
Hey gene gene the dancing machine, how are ya my man? I'm curious how many pull-ups that you can rep out in 1 set? My PR is 22 at a bodyweight of about a buck 60.
-
one at a time?
-
He must have a lot of endurance. I will do about 35 first set but then my next set is about 10. It must be slow going, it would get to the point where i would be doing singles, 3,000 plus....Weird.

the most i can do is 25

I wonder if they were strict or kipping? Either way it's an awesome feat.
100,000 m on the C2 rower in 6hrs 45 is sick, too. I lose the will to live doing 500m intervals on the thing.

Thats good Gene I think after a certain point cardiovascular exhaustion sets in occurs before muscular exhaustion occurs.

Yeah, thats only a 140 an hour for the entire 24 hours. Nothing to it. ::) Realistically, if you slept 8 hours out of the 24, its 211 an hour. I don't think there is anyone here that could do that for 1 hour, let alone 16 hours straight.

jesus just imagine that guys grip strength

211 chins in 1hr is very good but not unreal!
I reckon I know people who could do that. A few of my mates are quite light 130-170lbs and can chin with anywhere up to 120lbs attached for a couple of reps. Surely they could manage a little under 4 chins a minute for one hour.
For 24hrs no way.

If it say its a little under 4 a minute, it makes it sound relatively easy. Look at it this way, thats 53 chins in 15 minutes, and you have to do it 4 times in a row. I don't know anyone that could do it. You should ask a couple of your friends and see if they could do it for one hour. It would be damn impressive if they could. Then all they have to do is repeat it for 16 hours straight and they will have the record ;D

all this and guy still looks like shit, he better try hit next time. still number is very impressive, you gotta give him dat.
-

The kid is 19, in great shape, set a world record and you have to talk shit. What an insecure little homo you are.

So you would go all out in the first minute in a 24 hour record breaking attempt?
jesus just imagine that guys grip strength
The grip required is trivial. Come on guys, do you hold on to anything, ever?

since when is 230 lbs of twisted steel little, if you could read i gave the kid respect for his total geezh your touchy have some carbs already. and i ain't no homo.

You know that thing you do where your "friend" sticks his penis in all your holes while whispering in your ear that you are 230 of twisted steel? Homo.

what country are you from? don't understand your line of reasoning? you seem to be preoccupied with gayness making me think you probably are. i guess don't ask don't tell ain't working for you.

You don't know if he took breaks or no. Bathroom breaks, food breaks, water breaks. There is a catch, always a catch.
-
Apenis has done this 5 times.
;D ;D ;D
-
with a name like A-Penis he better be a strong dude and not a softy
-
You don't know if he took breaks or no. Bathroom breaks, food breaks, water breaks. There is a catch, always a catch.
could be all of that but still doesnt change how many he did in that time period.
-

Yeah, and that would give him even less time.

It doesn't matter what country I'm from, but I'm from the US. The point is, the guy accomplished something, set a world record, and you're so insecure that you can't even think its cool, you have to talk shit about how he looks. On top of that, I'd bet my last dollar that he looks a hell of a lot better than you do. You know why you felt the need to talk shit about the guy? Cuz you're an insecure little pussy.
-
I have a good feeling that dude's going to be a future Navy SEAL ;)

dem's fighting words from where i come from , unfortunately we're not where i come from. actually i've done 60 straight chin-ups myself but could never imagine doing that kid's number, your right in that respect kid does deserve respect. calm down life too short to spew the venomm you do. have a good workout it'll relax you.

They're fighting words here too.

Let's get ready to RRRRUUUUUMMMMMBUUUUUUULL LLLLLLL

Not really. When I was a college freshman a dude I knew would do 250 diamond pushups each night. He broke them up into sets of 50. Now, of course he got to the point where he could do more than 250, but he stuck with that number, and sometimes he would take a small break. So, take that and think, if you get accustom to doing like 200 pull ups, you could in theory do that in less than 45 minutes, way less. You could bang 'em out, or you could pace yourself. All 3300+ pullups are bodyweight and once you get going, it's like doing any other bodyweight exercise. It's like dudes in prison who bang out 500 incline wall pushups or 200 flying dragons.
Don't get it twisted, I think it is great that he did it, but when you think about it, doing it a certain amount in six hours and finishing up in 24 hours is not a great feat. It wouldn't take you 24 hours to rep out 3300+ pullups if you train yourself to do it. It would be far, far less time, even with breaks.

I have always thought that these guys who choose an exercise and decide to be great at it have it real easy, it might be boring though. But, anyone can do it, so, not trying to bring the champ down. And besides, 24 hour test requires humoungous amounts of guts.

when you are lying on your back and hold onto something to anchor your upper body, you lift your lower body up in the air, almost horizontal and stay there for like 10 secs...your whole lower body from mid back on down is not touching anything.

Until 2004 the world record was barely over 200 in an hour. Even if you could do 200 pullups in less than 45 minutes, which maybe a couple of people in the world could do, you still have more than 3000 to go. Honestly, try doing 200 some day and see how long it takes, and then try picturing 3000 more. So you think it would take far less time than 24 hours to do it? Odd that its the world record then.
For what its worth, I don't believe anyone can do 500 wall pushups either.

Its because he selectively decided to do that, there are tons of people who could do that. The fact of the matter is that many times nobody wants to put effort into a certain exercise
and make a world record of it.
I mean a dude could do a world for jacking off if he wanted to, and there probably isn't a world record for that. Once you see it, you could say, "I could do that".
Just like with this dude. I'm glad he had the record, but he is nothing special. You could break his record, and so could at LEAST 30 people on this board (that includes non regular
posters like CalisthesticKing)
as far as the wall pushups, you underestimate what a person can do, especially if one is locked up and all you have is time on your hands.
First go to a wall, back up and put your legs up, almost to the light switch, and do about 20, pretty easy, right? Well in 6 months I think you could bang out 250 of them. Another 6 months, 500. Simple.
-
Most of you guys only like it cause he is a Navy Semon ;D

Glad to know our military is spending their time efficiently.

:odamn! the dude doesn't look like he's on any juice either! he's my new f'in hero! MORE POWER TO THE MILITARY! ARGH! 8)

Have you ever done 200 pull ups in any amount of time? I do about 100-150 real pullups (all way down and up, and various hand grips) every back workout and been doing it for about 5 years now. My tendons, forearms, biceps are pretty fried even after doing them for years and being conditioned. There is no way i could simply ...rest 30 mins...and do another 150 and keep doing it all day long. Muscles are just too sapped.
Now your saying you think random people on this board could easily do this with a "little" training. lmfao. You need to go try and do 200 pull ups for your next back workout. Do Real pullups. Just go in there and simply do 200, if you think its soo easy.
Come back to this board and then say if you could do it another 16 times....

Finally, someone with some common sense. Ever notice when someone says how easy it is to do something, they never do it. Like I said, the world record for an hour was just over 200. Some absolute monster came along and did 500. No one else in the world has ever come close. So you think he could rest a bit, take a piss and crack out another 2800 of them? You're beyond deluded if you think so.

Also an interesting note is the fact that a pull up is a staple in world military workouts throughout the world. They do tons and tons of pullups just in their day to day activities. That means there ARE millions of people around the world who do pullups quite commonly and still couldnt beat past record.

You've just proven a point as to why most haven't done it and to why many Americans don't have the physique that they want. Because people don't think that they can achieve it. People are beaten in the mind first. Period. It is excellent that dude did this, but he made up his mind to do it, seems to me that you are saying a person is beyond deluded for thinking he could match him, but what do you think of the people who said he couldn't have done it. They said the same thing. Same type of logic you are using. Do you get it now.
Take a look at CalisthesticKingz vids on YouTube, could you do that stuff right off the box? No you couldn't, but that's not to say you wouldn't be able to.
I swear the lack of faith, here is depressing, many of you got stuck in your heads a sense of mediocrity and status quo, hoisting up others as "special" and "I can't touch that" instead of using that as motivation to do better and if not to surpass that.
Aerian, I have not done it, because I have never had the yearning to do it. I don't see the reason nor want to do it because I could be doing something else with my time. But I think that you and others if you put your mind to it, could do it.
When I saw the guy in colllege doing 250 diamond push ups, it inspired me to do it, so I worked up to doing it, I eventually met my goal and then I started doing 100 with 50 pounds of weights in backpack. I set a goal and I met it. If I chose to set a record, I no doubt think I could, but my reasoning wasn't to do that.
SgtSpr, the game, the fight, the quest, is won and lost in the mind. If one's head is not into the fight, chances are great you are gonna lose. The man who did 3300+ pullups should be applauded, not because of his physical achievement, but because of having the mental fortitude to continue on with task at hand and stick thru it, which is possibly something you may lack, which is why one may hold this man up as "untouchable"...
-
Aerian, I have not done it, because I have never had the yearning to do it. I don't see the reason nor want to do it because I could be doing something else with my time.
And maybe this is a convenient excuse. Go to the gym and try to just do 200 pullups and let us know how it goes first, then you can talk about how easy it is to do 3300. I'm assuming you work out now. You said it would be easy to do 200 in 45 minutes, just give it a try and report back.
-
Aerian, I could be doing something else with my time.that.
Are you still young? Early 20s maybe? If you care about bodybuilding in the slightest, doing 150 or 200 pullups (real ones) is about one of the best things you could do for back/bicep improvement. Ontop of being a great real world exercise that can come in handy in many different ways. So why not give it a try ?
I dont think you understand the difficulty of the task at hand.

1stly, I never said it would be easy to do 200 in 45 min, please read, I said once you get accustom to the pullups, in theory you could do 200 in 45 minutes. Please learn reading comprehension.
Also, I have no want or desire to do it. Why should I, because you said to go do it? I firmly believe that you or Aerian could do it, there was a guy (was it Aerian) who posted a 500 pound bench light it was easy, I'm willing to bet that if 3300 dude saw that, that he would say "no way", but with training I believe he could achieve that, but that is not his goal, nor his desire to do so, and it would fit in with his training. The time spent on focusing for that "500 bench" could best be time spent doing other things. Let me ask a question. Do you think this guy is special, some sort of superman? And if so, does it really highlight one's own lack of willpower or inadequacies?
Also, there was no word on if he took breaks, and how he broke them up, and his height and weight, which has a lot to do with it. A lighter person would have a easier time in doing these than a 5'9-6'0 180-250 pound gym rat.

I have no doubt that they are hard, just a different kind of hard. High rep calisthenics suck for bodybuilding, and they won't give you strength gains.
-

exactly. Body proportions play a huge role. It does not mean the big guy is weaker! I bet many strongmen couldn't do too many pullups. You think they have weak backs? lol

Do I think he's superman? No. Do I think there is a strong genetic component to setting a world record in ANY physical endeavor? You're damn right I do. No amount of training or drugs is going to make Woody Allen bench 500lbs no matter how much positive thinking he does. You saying anyone could work up to doing it is like saying if I want to bench 1000lbs, all I have to do is add 10 pounds a week to my bench for a little over a year until I get there. That's why there are so many 1000lb benchers running around. And what does it matter if the guy weighs 250 or 400 lbs? According to you, its simple, you just get used to doing 200 an hour and then repeat it til you get to 3300. Like you said, lots of people could do it. And of course he took breaks. Who cares? The longer you take a break, the less time you have to actually do the pullups. You keep repeating that like taking a break doesn't mean he did 3300 in 24 hours. You want to talk about my reading comprehension, how about your math skills? You know, math, the stuff you use to figure out that if someone takes a break, they have less time to do the pullups.

to do the pullups.
I give up, especially when you said what difference the
person's weight is.
Due to the fact that its well known that a lot of bbers can't do
that many pullups due to their weight.
But here is food for thought, last time I check which was a while
ago, a human bone can take 10,000 pounds of pressure...
Also, yrs ago no one thought that someone could bench 500 raw, tons of people do it now.
And, back in the 1920s, 25 miles an hour was deemed as too
fast for a automobile...the Bugatti Veyron does 255.
Why am I listing these, well because it's called progression and pushing the envelope. As long as there is someone willing to do it, it will get done, one way or another.
Now, your example of a 1000 pound bench is extreme, and you are grasping at straws now, for someone of his weight now to do that. But, of course the Bench Press record is 1075 pounds, shirted, so someone did it
Also, math has a lot to do with it, but also the speed of reps as well.
You choose not to take in such variables, yet take everything at face value. Once you start to look into things and take, body mass, height, age, speed of reps, breaks, willpower, you start to understand that yes the feat was great, but can be done. You are like those Bible Thumpers that want to believe soo badly that the story of Baby Jesus is the exact way it is depicted no matter that there are two contradicting versions, that all forms of common sense is thrown out the window.
And to argue with such, I will not do. You keep believing in what you believe...

According to you, its simple, you just get used to doing 200 an hour and then repeat it til you get to 3300. Like you said, lots of people could do it. And of course he took breaks. Who cares? The longer you take a break, the less time you have to actually do the pullups. You keep repeating that like taking a break doesn't mean he did 3300 in 24 hours. You want to talk about my reading comprehension, how about your math skills? You know, math, the stuff you use to figure out that if someone takes a break, they have less time to do the pullups.
I had trouble doing 4 when I was 260ish.. when I was 210 I could do 2 sets of 15

I have no doubt that they are hard, just a different kind of hard. High rep calisthenics suck for bodybuilding, and they won't give you strength gains.
i used to agree with this but this day and age, i think really any type of muscle stimulation that causes you to really fatigue a muscle, can help with building strength and muscle. Granted at any competition level it changes all of that.
just from doing my pull ups, my grips, deads, and power cleans, have all gone up. Pullups are one of the single best things any individual can do, for overall healthy and physique building.

You are going to have to progressively add weight. Because it just becomes redundant. If not, then this dude would be big as hell

200 pull ups in 45 ... I can do that

Knew a martial artist, all he did was squat - bodyweight squats. He could do several thousand per day. He had great endurance and could school me for time. I asked him what he could do with a loaded barbell on his back, he didn't know cause he didn't do them so we went to my basement and tried it out. The guy couldn't do a full rep with 135!

person's weight is.
Due to the fact that its well known that a lot of bbers can't do
that many pullups due to their weight.
.......
Now, your example of a 1000 pound bench is extreme, and you are grasping at straws now, for someone of his weight now to do that. But, of course the Bench Press record is 1075 pounds, shirted, so someone did it
Also, math has a lot to do with it, but also the speed of reps as well.
You choose not to take in such variables, yet take everything at face value. Once you start to look into things and take, body mass, height, age, speed of reps, breaks, willpower, you start to understand that yes the feat was great, but can be done. You are like those Bible Thumpers that want to believe soo badly that the story of Baby Jesus is the exact way it is depicted no matter that there are two contradicting versions, that all forms of common sense is thrown out the window.
And to argue with such, I will not do. You keep believing in what you believe...
I guess you are no better at sarcasm than you are at math. Of course, bodyweight matters in doing pullups. I was pointing out how ridiculous it is when you say anyone could do it if they just believe they can. Like I said, there is a huge genetic component to setting a world record in any physical endeavor.
Of course, the bench press example is extreme. Sort of like doing 3376 pullups. Again, I made the example to point out how ridiculous it is to say anyone can do it.
Your last paragraph is the silliest of all. You have been the one saying all along that anyone can do this, they just have to believe in themselves. I have been saying, no, not everyone can do it. Now you present the exact opposite argument. I guess that is a good idea at this point when you are so clearly wrong about how easy this is and how anyone could train to do it. Then you go off on another tangent about religion that has nothing to do with anything and is a horrible analogy.
So which is it? This is something that isn't that hard, a bunch of people from this board could do it, its just a matter of believing in yourself OR bodyweight, age, genetics all matter and not only can not everyone do it, there are probably only a few people in the world that have any shot at this record no matter how much training they do. You can't argue both sides of it. Its also pretty stupid to keep saying you could do it easily if you just trained for it, you just don't want to.

I guess both of you is right in something.
Yes, genetic component is always there. I could never be a serious powerlifter, not with this very long arms and legs. My joints just get too much pressure.
Even so Parker is right in that you should always analyze things you heard. Something that first sounds like a wonder, might be just the result of good and systematic planing. You shouldn't just accept things, you should first think about them, observe the parts of the whole thing alone.
Will power is also a very important factor! Woody Allen with the right drugs, and the willingness to do it maybe could have been a national level body builder. who knows? He never ate right, never did any kind of weight training. But yes, he would have never made any world record in weightlifting. Thats where the genetic component kicks in.

all this and guy still looks like shit, he better try hit next time. still number is very impressive, you gotta give him dat.

That's not a good example because squats unloaded and loaded are 2 completely different things.
Have you ever done 200 pull ups in any amount of time? I do about 100-150 real pullups (all way down and up, and various hand grips) every back workout...
Once a week? Well, when we are talking about building endurance that's not even training in my opinion...has to be almost daily activity.

Most of you guys only like it cause he is a Navy Semon ;D
haha he said semen,"beavis and butthead influenced post.

shut it u muppet
eat shit but all joking aside i was really just making the point that what the guy did was phenomonal by any stretch of the imagination, but for all his work he didn't look like one of the juiced up oiled thonged monsters almost everyone on here loves. it's like the guys who would always break the sit-up record yet for all the thousands of sit-ups they did won't be able to show no visible abs. WHy is this inquiring minds want to know. ernie was my favorite muppet by the way.
