The world of the Internet is wide, and more and more people are joining social networks in search of new opportunities to grow. In case of Geronimo Arias (better known as Gero Arias) It’s very clear. Is about a young Argentinian, from San Luis, who in 2023 became a viral sensation for undertaking a most complicated challenge, doing one more pull-up every day for a year.
An idea that he began to think about in 2022 and that he carried out in 2023, and that, as he has previously recognized, was “by content”: “I was always very strong in pull-ups and they knew me for that, because I had just gone to a program in Argentina that was a pull-up competition that I had won, and people started calling me ‘the bars’, ‘the guy with the pull-ups’. dominated’. I saw that the challenges that said they were going to do something every day of the year were going well, and I decided to do it”.
His fame grew in 2023 with the passing of the days, weeks, and months. The pull-ups did not stop, until finished the challenge with a total of 281 days, which is equivalent to 281 pull-ups in a row. A challenge that has decided to resume in 2024.
He already has 175 pull-ups
This is reflected in their Instagram profiles, counting on more than 1.4 million followers on his main profile, and with 3.3 million followers on the account where he follows the daily challengewhere It already has more than 175 days and 175 pull-ups.
But that is not yet his ceiling, but, as he acknowledges to his followers, he has a greater goal in mind: “At first I had no expectations, but now My goal is to surpass what I did last year, then I will aim for 300, and then see if I can finish the challenge, although it depends on many factors, such as injuries, whether my hands open…”.
A healthy habit that has also led him to cross the entire world, precisely in search of generating greater and more surprising content. He has climbed construction cranes, fences, walls in different cities, and even bars held by his friends, who also make up his team, accompanying him on every adventure to also create content for his profiles on the networks.
A challenge that has even brought him to Spain, collaborating in the challenge with celebrities of the caliber of Pedriwith whom he did the eighth day challenge, getting on the FC Barcelona footballer and the Spanish National Team on his backwith TheGrefgand with Joan Pradells, among others. And, in addition, he has visited Madrid and Barcelona.
Gero now has his sights set on 200 pull-ups, and then equaling 281. All this while traveling the world, soon passing through Morocco, Finland, and also Mexico City, where he will do precisely the challenge of day 200 of the 366 totals that could be done.
