“New record: Most consecutive pull-ups on a bar positioned between two moving trucks - 44 by Grigor Manukyan (Armenia),” reads the caption posted by GWR along with the video.

The video opens to show Manukyan getting out of a truck and taking his position to hang from the bar. He then goes on to do pull-ups. In a surprising twist, the clip also shows a few more pull-up related records that he previously created.

Take a look at this video of the world record:

“This record was not difficult for me due to my rigorous training,” Grigor said to GWR. “I think I could have brought the number up to 50, but I decided to stop at 44 and dedicate my record to the bright memory of the heroes who were martyred in the ill-fated 44-day Artsakh war, in which thousands of Armenians died,” he added.

He has also claimed a record by performing most four-finger pull-ups with a 20 lb pack in one minute. He did 31 pull-ups. He is currently preparing to create a record in most pull-ups from a plane in one minute.
