How David Goggins Broke the World Pull-up Record

<p>Between the training and three attempts, <a href="https://davidgoggins.com/">Goggins</a> did more than 67,000 pull-ups in nine months. But more than his physical endurance <a href="https://www.moonshots.io/episode-94-david-goggins">Goggins</a> showcased the power of repetition. </p><ul> <li>He tried three times to accomplish this goal </li> <li>Learning from each attempt </li> <li>Never accepting he couldn’t meet the challenge </li> <li>Not listening to the negative comments - that he didn’t have the physical strength to do it</li> </ul><p>Four pull-ups an hour doesn’t seem like much. Over time, it becomes increasingly more challenging to the muscles, but increasingly more empowering to the mind.</p><p>Small numbers grow through consistent repetition. Small numbers are boring and don’t seem useful in the grand scheme. But small numbers are a necessary step before getting to the large numbers.</p><p>“You have to callus your mind to overcome your doubts and failures and keep moving forward.”  - <a href="https://geni.us/Canthurtme">David Goggins</a></p><p><br></p><p><strong><a href="https://www.patreon.com/Moonshots" rel="payment" title="★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★">★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★</a></strong></p>
