Lifelong Long Islander Obliterates World Record For Pull-Ups
Grueling Challenge, Sponsored
Lifelong Long Islander and former global esports champion, Doug Censor Martin, shattered the world record for most pull-ups in a 24-hour time period by completing 8,941 pullups in nineteen hours and three minutes – beating the previous record by almost five hours. Martin completed the challenge with a total of 9,250 pull-ups with three hours and thirtysix minutes remaining on the 24-hour clock.
Martin not only beat the previous record of 8,940 pullups by Kenta Adachi of Japan for the 24-hour record, but also surpassed the twelvehour world record of 5,742 pull-ups by two hours.
Martin’s successful planning regimen required a comprehensive approach to nutrition, pull-up pacing strategy and physical and mental training. The new world record equates
to Martin completing approximately:
• 470.5 pull-ups per hour
• 7.8 pull-ups per minute
• 1 pull-up every 7.7 seconds
The event, more than a year in the making through intense physical and mental preparation, took place in Farmingdale at 1 More Rep Athletics & Fitness. Martin battled sleep deprivation, a bicep strain and badly blistered and bruised hands to break the world record.
A former world record holder, Jaxon Italiano, served as Martin’s coach and flew from Australia to personally witness the record-breaking attempt, along with aroundthe-clock support from Martin’s family, friends and fans.
FITTEAM was the sponsor of Martin’s world record challenge, which also served
as fundraiser for Project Purple to help find a cure for pancreatic cancer. Martin’s grandmother, who left an indelible impact on his life, succumbed to pancreatic when he was only 12 years old. The challenge has raised almost $9,000.
Martin, an Amityville resident and formerly from
Lindenhurst and Copiague, is the former world esports champion and a global influencer with more than one million followers.
“Achieving the world record is surreal,” said Martin. “I’ve always believed in pushing myself to the limit, whether it’s in gaming or in life. This world
record is not just about personal achievement but about helping bring more awareness about pancreatic cancer, which took the life of my grandmother. I appreciate the humbling support and assistance from so many people, which made this longtime dream become a reality.”
FITTEAM, a leader in the health and fitness industry, sponsored the event and provided the logistical support, Guiness World Record compliance documentation and live video coverage of the entire 24-hour challenge, allowing fans and supporters to follow every moment of Martin’s historical accomplishment. Video coverage of the world record challenge can be viewed on YouTube channel@FitteamGlobal.
“We are thrilled to have supported Doug’s truly incredible accomplishment,” said FITTEAM Founder and CEO Chris Hummel. “Doug’s determination and resilience are truly inspiring. His amazing feat brings muchneeded attention to the fight against pancreatic cancer. We are honored to have been part of this successful journey with him.”

L.E.B. Electric Donates 240 Backpacks To Local Organizations 240 Kids Going Back To School In Style
A recent donation by Amityville based L.E.B Electric helped two local community outreach programs send 240 children back to school in style with brand new backpacks.
L.E.B. Electric ordered and delivered 48 backpacks to the Copiague Library Back to School Drive, where grade school children will come and “shop” for their school supply list with an assigned helper, a task which gives the child a feeling of selfpride and ownership, which in turn helps foster a young child’s love of school.
Another 192 backpacks were delivered to Pronto, Long Island,
a community outreach center in Bayshore, where over 1,200 students of all ages from across the Island signed up to receive the backpacks donated by L.E.B.. Sometimes it is just the little things, like a brand-new backpack, that can help a child maintain a positive outlook and have a successful school year.
L.E.B. Electric President William Parker says that the company is proud to give back to the community and particularly to students of all ages… “These kids are our future, I’m happy to help them set off to school on the right foot!”

Did You Know?
Volunteering is a great way for individuals to strengthen their communities, but it also can be a unique way for individuals to improve their own overall happiness. A recent study published in the Journal of Happiness Studies examined 70,000 participants, each of whom received surveys that asked questions regarding their volunteering habits and mental health. The study found that, when compared to those who did not volunteer, people who had volunteered in the previous 12 months were more satisfied with their lives and gave their overall health higher ratings.
