VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. – Rodney Hahn is out to set the Guinness World Record for pull-ups on Memorial Day Weekend. The event, sponsored by The Dump Furniture Outlet, will occur at their Chicagoland location  (Lombard,IL) and will simulcast the event live to all Dump locations nationwide, as well as livestreaming on YouTube and Facebook. Hahn plans to complete over 7,000 pull-ups in 24 hours from 3 pm Sunday, May 29th till 3 pm Monday, May 30th. Guinness World Record judge Michael Empric will be onsite to verify Hahn’s attempt.

WHO: A former Navy service member on the USS John F. Kennedy, Hahn received his degree in sports medicine from Old Dominion University, and he holds certifications from Titleist Performance Institute  and the American College of Sports Medicine. Hahn is the Fitness Director at The Cavalier est. 1928, the leading golf & yacht club in Virginia Beach, VA. Hahn has been an innovator in physical training for 19 years and his dream is to become a competitor on American Ninja Warrior .
