Samyuktha Hegde does 106 pull-ups in an hour in sari
The Indian Express··19 Sept
Actor Samyuktha Hegde shared an Instagram Reel showing more than 100 pull-ups in an hour while wearing a sari, captioning it as 106 pull-ups in an hour. Dr Sarang Deshpande of KIMS Hospitals said pull-ups stress shoulders, elbows and wrists. He suggested assisted pull-ups before full bodyweight reps. He said quality matters more than repetition counts.

- Swinging for momentum or incomplete range increases injury risk during pull-ups.
