Date is the displayed publication date, 30 April 2017; the URL suffix is one day earlier. The exact test day is unknown. The hypothetical 180-200 kg maximum is excluded.

“44 wide-grip pull-ups”

'I'd love to play for Ireland' - Road less travelled led Cloete to Munster

The direct interview reports 44 completed wide-grip pull-ups and quotes Cloete about his shoulders at that time. The count is exact in this source. A 2017 coach interview had described the count as about 44, so that earlier approximate claim was not used as the exact record. This is a historical set; the precise day is unknown and the 15 February 2019 publication date is used. No added load, bodyweight, time limit or maximum claim is given. The page links this set to his time with the Southern Kings. The news24 report of 30 April 2017 (source of index 0) already gives about 44 wide-grip pull-ups, so the set was done by then.
