World Record Loading…

On September 1st, 2024, iRiseU Founder Branden Hines attempted to set a new World Record for the most Muscle-Ups done in 24 hours. Our initiative is rooted in the power of positive habits, and what better way to demonstrate that power than by performing a feat never before seen on Earth? With this attempt, iRiseU raised over $5,000 that was used to start a Student Welfare Fund. The fund will go towards things like school essentials, scholarships, as well as incentives for under-privileged students to increase engagement during school, and much more. The current record is 1,300 reps in 24 hours or less; and Branden managed to complete just under 900 in 15 hours before physically being unable to get even one more rep. Of course, failure is a necessary part of success, and Branden will be back to try again in 2025.

The world is in need of positive change. It’s up to us to pave the path forward towards a generation of improvement.

With student comprehension of math and reading at the lowest point in decades in America; the emphasis on proven habits that enable learning should be at its highest. We are here to help.

Our work starts with educators.

Without great educators to help build iRise programs; our job of guiding students to lives better lived would be impossible. Every method used in every iRise event and program has been shown to work and put to the test by educators around the world.

“A world class ability to speak from the heart and captivate an audience.”
