Navy SEAL Attempts To Break 24 Hour Push-Up World Record

It's pretty safe to say that US Navy SEAL David Goggins is the real-life Superman.

Appearing on The Today Show, Goggins pushed through to try & break the world record for the most pull-ups ever in a day.

The charity-driven task was inspired by Goggins' mission to raise money for the families of soldiers who have been killed. Unfortunately, he fell short of the current pull-up record—4,020 in one day—when he injured his forearm 2,588 pull-ups into the effort.

This isn't his first act of "strength-for-a-cause" either. In 2008, Goggins finished a 150-mile ultra-marathon, even pushing through the Pneumonia he acquired 90 miles into the race.

According to KPBS, his work raises funds for the Special Operations Warrior Foundation.
