Martin set his sights on the record and got to work with different trainers and coaches. This includes Jaxon Italiano, who also held the record at one time with 8,008 pull-ups.
It did not take Martin all 24 hours to accomplish this record. He cruised to the number needed with five hours remaining and continued to work hard.
