World Records for Chin-Ups and Pull-Ups

WORLD RECORD LIST

New record claims for this list are welcome! If possible, please contact us BEFORE your record attempt. Your documentation will be considered for the "Book of Alternative Records" by us.
To submit a record claim to Guinness World Records as well, please contact Guinness World Records using their web site.

THE RULES

(If you want to break a record that is published in a record book or governed by an international authority, there may be other or additional rules. See here for more information.)

We make a difference between
  • chin-ups [grab the bar with your palms facing you, (supinated grip)] and
  • pull-ups [grab the bar with your palms facing away from you (pronated grip)].
In one attempt, you cannot mix both grips. The tables list the "absolute record" (for either chin-ups or pull-ups).
  1. The chin must be raised above the bar.
  2. Each single chin-up must be started from a hanging position, i.e. the arms must be straight in the "down" position.
  3. You can dismount as often as you wish.
  4. Video documentation must be provided. There must be two videos of the attempt: At one video, the camera should be at the height of the bar so that it is possible to decide whether the chin cleared the bar. At another video, the full body of the contestant must be visible all the time. A digital watch should be visible within this video recording to verify the time.
  5. The chin must be raised above the bar level, otherwise the chin-up has to be disallowed by the judges.
  6. Leg kicks and lower-body movements cannot be used to gain momentum in the exercise. This video clearly shows what is not allowed. The very first pull-up in this video would count, the others would be disallowed [We have an extra category for one-minute leg-assisted pull-ups where this rule does not apply.]
  7. Only a straight bar can be used. It must be made of an inflexible matter such as steel, not of a flexible substance such as plastic or tubing. It  may be of any diameter.
  8. The bar must be level and the height of the hands must be equal in relation and equal in height to where the chin crosses the bar.
  9. The spacing of the hands shall not exceed 90 cm measured between the forefingers (for pull-ups) / little fingers (for chin-ups).
    For the purpose of verifying this rule, the bar should be marked (e.g. with tape), and both forefingers/little fingers must be within the 90 cm marks.
    Hands can not be overlapped.
  10. It is allowed to protect the hands by using gloves, etc. However they should have no sticky substances on them. Using chalk is allowed.
  11. For all new 1-minute and 3-minute records, the record holder must agree to have the video posted in one of two ways:  (1) post the video on a website and provide recordholders.org with a link, or (2) provide recordholders.org with a video recording that has been converted to a standard web-enabled format so that recordholders.org can post the video.
  12. The results of an attempt should be submitted as soon as possible.

WORLD RECORDS: MOST CONSECUTIVE PULL-UPS

The record is for the most pull-ups without dismounting. However, during the attempt it was permitted to hang on the bar with one hand only (allowing the other arm a little "rest").
The record holder is Jan Kareš (Czech Republic) who did 238 pull-ups in 34 minutes on 18 November 2017 in  Hergetova Cihelna, Czech Republic. VIDEO
The female record are 48 pull-ups by Irina Rudometkina (Russia/USA) on 18 December 2014 at River City High School in West Sacramento, California, USA.
