Marine veteran Sgt. Guy Seaman did 5,862 pullups in one day, earning a spot in the annual Guinness World Records book.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n

A Marine veteran has beat the record for the number of pullups completed in a day, earning a spot in the annual Guinness Book of\u00a0World Records book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Veteran Sgt.\u00a0Guy Seaman, who goes by the name Guy Valentino, decided to spend Veterans Day besting a sailor’s pullup\u00a0record. still finds himself marching around and shouting an \u2018oorah!\u2019 here and there, even though\u00a0if\u00a0his Marine Corps career ended 10 years ago.\u00a0But like a true Marine, he answered the call to do something for his brethren and all service members on Veterans Day to bring awareness to\u00a0Seaman, who goes by the name Valentino, set the Guinness Book of World Records\u00a0when he completed 5,862 pull-ups<\/a>\u00a0in 24-hours, breaking the 5,801 set by\u00a0John Bocek earlier this year<\/a>.\u00a0The event was sponsored by Spike TV\u2019s\u00a0Veterans Operation Wellness<\/a>\u00a0program.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

He had 24 hours to do more than\u00a05,804 pullups in order to beat the record set Sept. 27 by Navy\u00a0Air Traffic Controller 1st Class (AW) Mike McCastle. And even though he had nearly a\u00a0decade on McCastle, Valentino blew through\u00a0the sailor’s record, completing 5,862 pullups on Nov. 11.\u00a0set the Guinness Book of World Records\u00a0when he completed 5,862 pull-ups<\/a>\u00a0in 24-hours, breaking the 5,801 set by\u00a0John Bocek earlier this year<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

The event was sponsored by Spike TV\u2019s\u00a0Veterans Operation Wellness<\/a>\u00a0program, and Valentino said he hoped to remind veterans to connect with each other through bring awareness to the importance of vets\u2019 <\/span>physical fitness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We see the statistics of those who couldn\u2019t hold on to their families after they got back, or the progression of suicide, and I could relate to some of that,” Valentino said.\u00a0of his need to work toward something greater.\u00a0<\/span>“How do you go from combat to … feeling a sense of loss because you don\u2019t seem to fit into the civilian world?” Valentino told Marine Corps Times on Wednesday. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

After leaving the Marine Corps in 2005, Valentino said he\u00a0challenged himself to improve by improving <\/span>his physical fitness alongside veterans in order to “get that sense of belonging again.”\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Now a fitness instructor in Dallas, Texas, <\/span>the former infantryman with Alpha Company, 1st Battalion, 5th Marines, said if he could pull through 36-hour raids in Ramadi, Iraq,\u00a0in 2005, the pullup challenge was\u00a0be <\/span>reachable.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I thought about the Marines, my kids and the reasons why I came back,” he said. “The cause was for veterans, and it’s not inspiring if you don’t accomplish the mission.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Valentino\u2019s feat was televised by Fox & Friends, ABC News and Spike TV in New York. Retired Army Staff Sgt. Brendan Ferreira,\u00a0of\u00a0101st Airborne, who lost his left arm below the elbow, did proved his <\/span>pullups dexterity <\/span>alongside Valentino during the challenge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When Valentino beat McCastle’s record of\u00a05,804 in a day,\u00a0Guinness World Records verified it and awarded him the title. Valentino\u2019s new record.<\/span>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And while Marines spend their careers perfecting the pullup, Valentino said even some leathernecks are surprised that he could manage to do nearly 6,000 in a day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I’m getting some posts on social media from people saying, ‘congrats, devil dog, congrats veteran,’,<\/span> and some people are in utter disbelief,” Valentino said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Valentino said his time in the Marine Corps experiences have <\/span>taught him that nothing is\u00a0ever\u00a0“too high to climb out of.”\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Enjoy your time in the Corps,” he said. There’s nothing like that camaraderie…but d<\/span>Don’t ever fall into a pit where you believe you’re not valuable,” he said. “You’re stamped Marine for a reason, so finish the fight all the way.”\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
