Generation Iron Fitness Network recently took to their official Instagram account and shared a video feeling proud of Truett Hanes breaking his record and making it to the Guinness World Record. They used a video that displayed how his hands looked after breaking the record because he wore no gloves.

Well, the video was truly terrible to even look at. His hands were trembling and he had skin coming out of them throughout his palm. The person recording the video even said, “Looks like your pinky’s gonna fall off”. That’s how bad his hands and fingers were trembling and the pain was pretty much evident.
