In 2019, a YouTuber tried to break Goggins’ record. He had a hype crew. He had a DJ playing heavy metal. He even had a banana slicer.
He got to 98 pull-ups. Then he threw up. Right on the chalk bucket. The video has 12 million views. His dedication is immortal.
His quote? “I’ll be back. With less pizza.” He has not been back.
How you can try this at home
Don’t. Seriously. Don’t attempt 651. Your rotator cuffs will cry.
But you can try for a personal record. Start with 5 reps. Then 10. Then set a goal of 25 in a row. That’s already elite.
Use a doorframe bar. Watch a funny video between sets. Pop your shoulders. Remember: Goggins bled for this. You can just sweat.
