Oct. 8 (UPI) -- An Australian bodybuilder broke a Guinness World Record that had stood for nearly a decade when she completed 733 pull-ups in one hour.

Jade Henderson, 32, averaged more than 12 pull-ups a minute to break the record of 725 that was set by fellow Australian Eva Clarke in 2016.

"I decided to start training for the pull up world record because I liked the idea of doing something that nobody else has ever done. I also wanted to see what my mind and body were physically capable of," Henderson told Guinness World Records.

The athlete said she initially planned to go for the 24-hour version of the record, but an injury during training led her to change her plans.
