Doug ‘Censor’ Martin has officially become a Guinness World Record holder after his application was initially denied, despite beating the world record for most pull-ups done in 24 hours.
Call of Duty pro and streamer Doug ‘Censor’ Martin is now the proud holder of a Guinness World Record after performing 9,250 pull-ups in a 24 hour period, beating the former record by over 300 reps.
His successful attempt took place on September 8, 2024 — but a month later, he was informed that the GWR had rejected it.
The governing body of world records claimed that his efforts were not done for his own “personal achievement” since his live stream of the attempt involved other brands and companies, one of which was Project Purple, a non-profit organization that aims to eradicate pancreatic cancer.
During his stream, he also advertised One More Rep Athletics & Fitness, a fitness company based out of the United States.
“Censor’s application was canceled by our records team due to the corporate sponsorship of the event,” they wrote in response to Dexerto on X. “We’ll continue our conversation with Censor and his sponsors, and we look forward to assessing the evidence.”
GWR was not present at Censor's pull-ups livestream. We are proud to still offer a free application service for individuals looking to break a record for their own personal achievement, and the process can be made faster via our priority service. But where businesses and brands… https://t.co/4PPGpmVwdE

“Congrats brother, well deserved. Knew you’d get it!” retired CoD pro Parasite wrote.
“F*ck yeah man, congratulations,” esports commentator Miles Ross chimed in.
“About damn time, congrats bro, well deserved,” a fan said.
Censor is just the latest content creator to break a world record after streamer Norme broke the record for going the longest period of time without sleeping at 264 hours and 24 minutes — despite getting banned from just about every platform due to the dangerous nature of the challenge.
