A 54-year-old man from Texas has smashed the world record for most pull-ups in a 24-hour period.

Mark Jordan's accomplishment has been confirmed by Guinness World Records as a new world record for pull-ups in 24-hours with an amazing 4,321 pull-ups during a charity fundraiser last fall, Fox News reported.

The Corpus Christi resident said that the message was that one should be able to "take care of your health, and address it in many ways, no matter what age you are."

Jordan, who had trained for a year before trying for the record, added that he decided 4-3-2-1 was an easy target to remember after he passed the previous record of 4,210.

 

Jordan's act raised money for Hammons Education Leadership Programs, which helps guide troubled teens toward careers.
