Lifelong Long Islander Obliterates World Record For Pull-Ups
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.”

Earlier this year you sent me to Washington to try to fix things. So I am working with anyone of goodwill, regardless of party, to bring common sense solutions to secure the border, reinstate the SALT deduction, bring federal money back to Long Island and help heal the divide in Congress. If you send me back to Congress I will continue to fight for bipartisan common sense solutions. MY PRIORITIES:
