Doug “Censor” Martin Breaks the World Record for Most Pull-ups in 24 Hours
Doug “Censor” Martin, a Call of Duty Champion, has made headlines once again—this time for a feat of physical endurance, not gaming prowess.
On September 8, 2024, Censor shattered the Guinness World Record for the most pull-ups in 24 hours, completing an incredible 9,250 pull-ups in just over 20 hours, surpassing the previous record of 8,940 set by Japan’s Kenta Adachi.
This achievement was not a spur-of-the-moment challenge. Censor spent over a year meticulously preparing for this attempt, training under the guidance of Jaxon Italiano, the former record holder from Australia, who had set a mark of 8,008 pull-ups.
His journey captivated fans across the globe, who followed his progress through live streams and social media. Despite immense fatigue and pain, Censor reached his goal with five hours left on the clock, allowing him to push his total even higher.
A former Faze Clan member and Major League Gaming champion, he has consistently shown that discipline and perseverance transcend industries, from esports to fitness.
Raising Money for Project Purple
What made this achievement even more special was Doug’s motivation behind it. His attempt was dedicated to raising funds and awareness for Project Purple, a nonprofit organization focused on pancreatic cancer research. This cause is deeply personal for Martin, as he lost his grandmother to pancreatic cancer. Donations are still climbing. His efforts raised over $8,500 for the charity so far, which is renowned for its investment in cutting-edge research and patient support in the fight against this devastating disease.
Through this record-breaking attempt, Martin not only pushed his physical limits but also inspired others to give back, making a meaningful impact in the battle against pancreatic cancer.
