Doug ‘Censor’ Martin Achieves Guinness World Record for Most Pull-Ups in 24 Hours
Doug ‘Censor’ Martin, a prominent Call of Duty professional and streamer, has officially secured a Guinness World Record. This follows a challenging journey that began with an unsuccessful application despite him surpassing the previous record by an impressive 300 pull-ups.
The Record-Breaking Attempt
On September 8, 2024, Censor accomplished an astonishing feat by completing 9,250 pull-ups in 24 hours. Initially celebrated for this achievement, his record was unexpectedly rejected by Guinness World Records (GWR) about a month later.
Reasons for Initial Rejection
According to GWR, the denial stemmed from the nature of Censor’s livestream during his record attempt. It was suggested that the event, which included sponsorship from multiple brands such as Project Purple—a non-profit focused on combating pancreatic cancer—was not a personal endeavor.
Support from the Community
Despite the setback, Censor continued to rally support from his fans, posting updates about his quest to set the record straight. The GWR later acknowledged that their officials were not present during his livestream and expressed a commitment to facilitating a successful application process for individuals pursuing personal achievements.
