59. Ken attempts to break a pull up world record… and fails

The Professional Athlete Podcast with Ken Gunter

In this week’s show Ken talks about his recent attempt to break the Guinness World Record for most Pull Ups with a 100 lb pack in under a minute and the soul crushing defeat he felt upon learning months later the attempt was disqualified… alright, soul crushing might be a bit much, but he certainly was in a mood.

Ken explains to Sonia why it’s worth dedicating a full episode to a failed attempt. He discusses exactly how much time he allotted for sulking. The lessons he learned from the setback and outlines the process he’s adopted to refocus, map out a new strategy and get back after it to attain world record glory and win back the respect of his young children.
