An Australian police officer broke a record that had stood for almost a decade when she did the most pull ups in one hour (female).<\/p>\n

Jade Henderson completed an unbelievable 733 pull ups \u2013\u00a0which works out as more than 12 every minute.<\/p>\n

She took on the challenge in Gold Coast on 22 August as a way of testing her physical and mental limits.<\/p>\n

After beating the record of 725 set by Eva Clarke (Australia) in 2016, she hopes to inspire others to reach their full potential too.<\/p>\n

Jade, 32, told us: \u201cI decided to start training for the pull up world record because I liked the idea of doing something that nobody else has ever done. I also wanted to see what my mind and body were physically capable of.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fitness is a huge part of Jade\u2019s life. She\u2019s been competing in Crossfit at a high level for the last eight years and says it\u2019s become an outlet for her when work gets stressful.<\/p>\n

Jade had originally planned to take on the 24-hour version of this record, a record currently held by Olivia Vinson (Australia) with a total of 7,079.<\/p>\n

But things went wrong.<\/p>\n

\"Jade<\/p>\n

Jade said: \u201cIn April, I did what was supposed to be my last training session before attempting the 24-hour record.<\/p>\n

\u201cI did 3,500 pull ups in 12 hours and tore my bicep. I had a partial tear of the bicep tendon and muscle. I had to rest my arm for about six weeks before I was able to do pull ups again.\u201d<\/p>\n

It was while recovering that she decided to go for the one-hour title instead in the hope of avoiding another injury.<\/p>\n

She went ahead with her attempt about three months later and officially claimed her world record.<\/p>\n

And just because it was a much shorter time doesn\u2019t mean it was easy.<\/p>\n

\"Jade<\/p>\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t have a set number that I was aiming for,\u201d Jade confessed. \u201cI knew it was going to be tough to beat the previous record of 725, so I was just aiming to get a couple more reps than that.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI was really happy with the result. I gave it everything that I had and in that moment I don\u2019t think I could of done any better. With about 20 minutes left to go in the hour, I felt the skin on my hands rip.<\/p>\n

\u201cI thought to myself that my hands were already a mess and I was already in pain, so I need to make it worth it. I am proud of myself for pushing through that pain and not stopping until the end.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jade said finding out her record was official was a \u201csurreal\u201d moment that still hasn\u2019t quite sunk in.<\/p>\n

\"Jade<\/p>\n

While she doesn\u2019t have her sights set on any other records just yet, she joked she\u2019d try to do the most pull ups whilst on fire since she\u2019s training to be a stunt performer.<\/p>\n

On the advice she\u2019d give to other record hopefuls, she said: \u201cDecide on your goal, come up with a plan and relentlessly work towards achieving that goal every day.<\/p>\n

\u201cI made sure that I executed my plan in the lead up to the attempt, so that going into it, I was thinking \u2018there\u2019s no way all my work isn\u2019t going to pay off\u2019.<\/p>\n

\u201cI also believe that you need to build your mental resilience and need to be doing it for your own personal reasons, not anyone else\u2019s, otherwise you\u2019ll be too tempted to quit when things get hard.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the lead up to the attempt I would remind myself of a quote by Theodore Roosevelt on a daily basis \u2013 \u2018Believe you can and you\u2019re halfway there\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"An Australian police officer broke a record that had stood for almost a decade when she did the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":187631,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[46],"tags":[6647,3795,102,82555,82556,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-187630","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-fitness","8":"tag-fitness","9":"tag-guinness-world-records","10":"tag-health","11":"tag-most-pull-ups-in-one-hour","12":"tag-most-pull-ups-in-one-hour-female","13":"tag-uk","14":"tag-united-kingdom","15":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/187630","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=187630"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/187630\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/187631"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=187630"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=187630"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=187630"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
