Aussie policewoman who broke the world record for chin-ups reveals the sickening accusation she was hit with by online trolls
Share this @internewscast.com

Australian police officer Jade Henderson recently achieved an extraordinary milestone by entering the Guinness World Records with an astonishing 733 pull-ups in just one hour. While she should have been celebrating her incredible success, the triumph was overshadowed by harsh criticism from online trolls.

Henderson pushed herself to the limit on the Gold Coast in August, enduring the physical toll, including the loss of skin from her hands and a partial bicep tear, after an intense eight-month training regimen.

The 32-year-old shattered the previous record of 725 pull-ups, set by fellow Australian Eva Clark, by maintaining an impressive average of 12 pull-ups per minute.

“I wasn’t expecting the amount of attention I’ve received, and seeing so many negative comments suggesting I’m on steroids or cheating is quite disheartening,” Henderson expressed.

“These accusations undermine the immense effort that went into achieving this record,” she continued.

“I try not to dwell on the negativity. My family, friends, and those who truly know me are aware that I have not cheated,” Henderson reassured.

‘I’ve never done steroids, so I don’t have anything to prove to anyone else.’

Several comments on the police officer’s Instagram posts about the record referenced performance-enhancing drugs, with trolls using syringe emojis to make baseless accusations.  

Henderson also revealed how an agonising training mishap made her change her plan to make her way into the Guinness Book.

She was originally going to attempt to break the record for most pull-ups in 24 hours, which was set by Australia’s Olivia Vinson, who completed 7079 of them in March this year.

‘I did 3500 pull-ups in 12 hours and tore my bicep,’ Henderson said.

‘I had a partial tear of the bicep tendon and muscle. I had to rest my arm for about six weeks before I was able to do pull-ups again.’

Her taxing record attempt became more difficult and painful about two-thirds of the way through.

The 32-year-old was originally planning to attempt more than 7000 pull-ups in 24 hours, but suffered an agonising setback during training

‘I gave it everything I had and in that moment I don’t think I could have done any better,’ she said.

‘With about 20 minutes left to go in the hour, I felt the skin on my hands rip.

‘I thought to myself that my hands were already a mess and I was already in pain, so I need to make it worth it.

‘I am proud of myself for pushing through that pain and not stopping until the end.’ 

In an Instagram post shortly after setting the new mark, she wrote, ‘It’s pretty insane to see what the body is capable of if the mind is willing.’

Henderson – who is training to be a stuntwoman with practice in firearms, being set on fire, falling down stairs and specialised driving – also got the chance to join some famous Aussie names on Netflix’s Physical Asia show this year.

The program pitted national teams of eight elite athletes, male and female, against each other in a series of strength and endurance contests.

Henderson was brought to South Korea as a reserve contestant during filming, alongside names like former UFC world champion Robert Whittaker, ex-NRL star Eloni Vunakece and strongman Eddie Williams.   

Henderson told the ABC she now wants to beat the record for most pull-ups in one minute, which stands at 44.
