High School Junior Does 7,306 Pull-Ups in 18 Hours for New World Record

This is not a drill. 

Seventeen-year-old Andrew Shapiro actually completed 7,306 pull-ups in 18 hours.

That obscene total smashed the old Guinness World Record of 6,800 pull-ups in 24 hours, achieved in 2015 by Jan Kares from the Czech Republic. 

Inspired by his father's experience with cancer and American Ninja Warrior, Shapiro gave up playing baseball to allow more time to train. He achieved the record (along with two others—3,515 pull-ups in six hours and 5,742 in 12) at a Relay for Life event in Fairfax County, Virginia. 

As for how he did it, Shapiro said, "It was blood, sweat and hours and hours and hours of hard work," per T. Rees Shapiro of the Washington Post. 

Shapiro also raised $4,000 for the American Cancer Society, and his father's cancer is in remission. 

Hope to see you on ANW one day, kid.
