On Memorial Day, Armstrong performed 3,376 overhand pull-ups at the In-Shape Fitness gym in Pacific Grove. His effort helped raise $5,000 for the Wounded Warrior project.

 

According to the World Amazing Records website, the 19-year-old Armstrong set the world record for most pull-ups done in one day.

 

Armstrong said the money would be used to provide goods and services for families of wounded soldiers abroad.

 

"I hope to do everything I can in support of the U.S. military and those soldiers that have already sacrificed so much," the two-year seaman said.

 

Armstrong, a native of the Dallas, Texas area, is studying Chinese at the Defense Language Institute's Foreign Language Center in Monterey.

 

He trained daily for about a year on both reverse and overhand pull-ups, but has been preparing as an athlete since age 13.

 

Armstrong was a swimmer and gymnast who also played football, and as he grew older, he became more competitive.

 

During his mission to set a new mark for the most pull-ups in 24 hours on May 30, he also broke the 6- and 12-hour world records.

 

They're not the first world records for Armstrong, who is listed on the ultra-distance world records page of the concepts2 rowing website for the 100,000 meter individual row in his age group. He earned that record of 6 hours, 46 minutes and 0 seconds Nov. 8.

 

Five days after his Memorial Day pull-up performance, he'd already begun training for indoor rowing again.

 

Though Armstrong said it will take him about two to three weeks to fully recuperate from the pull-ups effort, he said he would do them again for a good cause.

[ForeverMaker]

Damn I just started doing about 10 a day and I thought I was bad ass.

[Mojoe]

I was feeling pretty confident doing 40 to 60 in a work out. I'll be over here shutting the fuck up now.

 

This guy did more in a day then must do in a year or even their LIFE!

[unfunnyryan]

PCP is a helluva drug.

[Drewhop]

Badass.

 

Anyone else find it a little bit fun his name is ARMstrong.

[Bobby Lee]

I'm amazed that he has that sort of time to train. DLI is a pretty intense school. At the end of each school day, you're mentally and physically exhausted.

[unfunnyryan]

Badass.

 

Anyone else find it a little bit fun his name is ARMstrong.

 

I don't think any name is better fitting.

[ImUrOBGYN]

Give me 6 lines of blow and a bottle of Tequila.. I'll destroy that record.

It's not that he has a problem with coke, he just really likes the way it smells.

 

Badass.

 

Anyone else find it a little bit fun his name is ARMstrong.
