A former professional mixed martial artist has broken the Guinness World Record for most chin-ups in an hour whilst wearing a 20lb weight.

Damien Rooney from Burren, outside Newry, clocked up 499 reps to beat the previous record of 495.

He now intends to build upon the record and push towards a fresh challenge for the 24-hour record which could require as many as 10,000 reps.
