#132: Jordan Veiga - 1000+ Pull Ups a Day to Set a World Record and Improve Mental Health

Jordan Veiga (@jveiga4) is a man on a mission. He is a 2x World Record Holder, and going for a 3rd: The Most Mixed Grip Pull Ups in a Year. So far in 2023, he’s hit over 1000 pull ups every single day. Why? To fuel a mental health revolution. 

The Set The Bar Project (@setthebarproject) is in support of the NAMI foundation. 

Jordan went through his own mental health struggles and turned to the gym as a major tool (among others) to help heal himself. He wanted to then see how far he could take this, and here we are, he’s now setting world records and hitting over 1000 pull ups a day. 

The crazy part of this to me, is that Jordan isn’t a “fitness professional”. This isn’t his job to work out all day. He just works extremely hard at hammering the basics of fitness and nutrition to take the best care of himself. 

We spoke about Jordan’s training methods (which blew me away), how he got started doing this, how he even manages to accomplish this every single day, some of the behind the scenes of setting a world record, his struggles with mental health, and so much more. 

PLEASE share this episode with everyone you know. This is an absolutely incredible story, and is for such a great cause. Jordan is an impressive person, and he is a great person to be a role model to many.
