A man who set himself the challenge of doing 10,001 pull-ups in one day has revealed the painful effects the stunt has on his body.
Truett Hanes, 28, from Utah, USA, who became famous for running the grueling Austin Marathon in jeans, currently holds the Guinness World Record for completing the most pull-ups in 24 hours.
But after months of preparation by doing 2,000 pull-ups a day, he revealed the stunt had an incredible impact on his arms.
In the video, which shows his palm blistered, red and swollen, he insists "the pain is only temporary".
'I broke the record for most pull-ups in 24 hours with 751, bringing my total to 10,001. Yes, I wore gloves but that didn't help,' Hanes added.
The video, which has attracted 339,841 likes, shows how long it took for his blistered hands to heal before he was seen back training just a week later.
After the ordeal, his hands appeared cracked, blistered, and yellow. A day later, they were still swollen and blistered, but had begun to scab over.
On the second and third days, his hand healed a little but by this time the skin had started to peel.
In the final clip of his hands after doing more pull-ups, they were covered in scabs, still swollen, red, and slightly clawed. But Hanes insists they've healed.
However, many of his fans have expressed doubts about whether his arm is actually "100% recovered" from the pull-up challenge, claiming that the claim was just "a minor stretch".
One social media user asked how he prevented tendinitis and confessed that he himself did 200 reps a day which left his elbows "sore".
While others warned him he was at risk of long-term nerve damage, it appeared one of his fingers was almost "ripped off".
Hans explained that he had been doing 100 pull-ups a day for years before starting the current challenge, which he believes has helped him endure the pain.
Blisters on the hands can be caused by friction, pressure, or heat on the skin, causing the top layer of skin to separate and fluid to fill the gap.
The NHS explains that most blisters will heal on their own within three to seven days. The sores should not be broken or covered to give them the best chance of healing.
If the blister becomes infected, it may become hot and filled with green or yellow pus, and the surrounding skin may turn red.
The NHS stresses that blisters can be prevented by wearing gloves when exercising.
But for Hanes, the extreme nature of the challenge made it almost unavoidable, and he admits it made no difference.
