The Rock may have some competition.
Corpus Christi resident Mark Jordan, 54, set out in November 2014 to send a message that no matter your age, it’s important to take care of your health. Jordan chose to deliver that credo by doing as many pull-ups as possible in the course of 24 hours at a fundraiser for the Hammons Education Leadership program. His final tally of 4,321 pull-ups in 24 hours was officially recognized as a Guinness World Record on Wednesday, KRIS 6 reports.
