Twitch streamer Censor plans to break the world record for most pull-ups in 24 hours, with proceeds going to pancreatic cancer research

Twitch streamer and YouTuber Doug "Censor" will attempt to break the Guinness World Record for the most pull-ups in 24 hours. The current record is 8,940, set by Japan's Kenta Adachi earlier this year (February 22-23). This bested the previous one (set by Australia's Gary Lloyd) by almost 300. Censor will need to average around 373 pull-ups each hour to break the record.

Interestingly, the streamer also announced that he will be turning his attempt into a fundraising event, which will be hosted on September 7, 2024. He has partnered with Project Purple (a non-governmental organization) to raise funds for Pancreatic Cancer Research. Here's what Censor wrote on his official X.com account:

"On September 7th I will be attempting to break the Guinness World Record for Most Pull-Ups in 24 hours. The current number is 8,940. I’ll be partnering with Project Purple for this attempt in hopes to raise money for Pancreatic Cancer Research. Donation link will be in bio prior to the attempt."

Who is Censor? Twitch streamer and YouTuber's career explored

Censor is a content creator best known for his exploits in the gaming scene. He is a retired professional eSports player and currently creates content for the Call of Duty organization, Boston Breach. Before Boston Breach, he played for top teams, including FaZe Clan, OpTic Nation, and NY Subliners.

The streamer's Twitch channel (297K followers) primarily features Call of Duty gameplay and other related content. However, his YouTube channel (2.4 million subscribers) focuses on fitness and health-related topics.

Censor's upcoming attempt to break the 24-hour pull-up record is not his first rodeo. Earlier this year, he completed 3,300 pull-ups in 5 hours, averaging 11 pull-ups per minute without any breaks. Addressing this in his post, he wrote:

"It has been an incredibly long journey and I am proud to say that after 14 months of training I was able to complete 3,300 pull-ups in 5 hours today. 11 pull-ups per minute with no breaks."
