Tazio Gavioli: 118 pull-ups & 11 one arm. World record holder.

Tazio Gavioli has done 118 pull-ups, 46 of while were completed in one minute and 11 + 8 one arm pull-ups. He is also a three times Guiness world record holder. This link contains a list of unofficial records for timed pull-ups and chin-ups. "The Italian Butterfly started as a rock climber but with no rock around he got obsessed with pull-up training. He has done 8a but at the moment his focus is not rock climbing. - I have fun in what I'm doing and this is the most important thing; I'd like one day to try and why not to get some hard routes as Action Directe for example! In relation to my strengths, "I'm not a good climber". I'm just able to climb on-sight around the 7a+/7b, not more. I should climb to get better... I got my last ascent 14 months ago. Probably in the first months of the next year I'll be again on a TV show, maybe to do again my Guinness World Record about "one arm climbing" or, I don't know, maybe "the most number of pull ups in one minute. I think that 150 two hands pull ups should be possible."
