Most of us hope to get one pull-up one day. Just one would be nice. How about… 70? How about 70 with one arm? That’s exactly what Tazio Il Biondo, who also goes by “The Italian Butterfly,” did, and he did it without once letting go of the bar.

The amazing challenge took around 43 minutes to complete; and even just watching it from your computer, you’ll feel the struggle. Switching back and forth between arms, he ended up doing 35 on each side. Check out his video below.

On his Facebook page, Tazio describes himself as a free climber, world records holder and TV performer. This isn’t the only insane task he challenged himself with tackling. He’s also gone after a record for the most push-ups, the most pull-ups in a minute, hula-hooping while doing pull-ups, and many more.
