Now to work the upper back for glory!

Wide Grip Bodyweight Pullups. Can you do 20/30/40/50? If not , now is your time to try.

Rules:

  • No bouncing up /kipping - Each rep is to come to a complete stop at the bottom of the ROM.
  • Arms are straight in the bottom of the rep, no bent elbows
  • No chalk
  • No straps
  • No gloves
  • No Touching the floor
  • No resting at the bottom of the rep, 1-2 second pause at the top if you want but, no resting the chin up there (it's your funeral)
  • Hand grip is to be wider than shoulder width.
  • Chin over the bar at the top.

Challenge starts now. Ends last day of Feb.

Supinated/pronated/either?

Allowed to have knees bent or straight legs too?

It's a pullup as opposed to a chin up .so hands over the top of the bar. No chin up grip.

The pullup bar is to be a single bar style .__-----------__

Not the peg style. -I-------I-

No leg movement (kipping) so as long as they are still through the movement , straight or bent is fine (whatever works)

Supinated/pronated/either?

Imagine doing a wide grip chin up with a supinated grip. My wrists elbows and shoulders are crying just thinking about it.

So are they essentially dead hang pull ups?

Even with bent legs I almost touch the ground when doing them on my power rack and in pretty sure my elbows would still be a bit bent...

Grip only had to be wider than shoulders, it wouldn't be that bad.

This will be interesting for me, as I normally do wide grip pulldown behind neck, rather than in front. Should have plenty of translation though.

interesting choice of challenge for a tall, heavy bloke... this one suited to the lighter guys... I used to be able to do 20+ but reckon I'll struggle with anything over 15 at the moment

Well nows your chance to get back (pun) into shape. If you want to go heavier in the deads and bench , this will help as well. Use some scapular retraction at the top of the movement. Maybe not so much for the challenge but, in general.

.

bit harder when you are heavy but, as an example here is a 100kg bloke.for 20. Form and technique as about right for what this is.

remember no vid / no register.

I'll just add to this...this guy rests at the bottom of the last few reps...do not do this, as per rules in first post.

too many dumb rules...like no chalk for example.

Or no resting. Stopping at the bottom or the top makes it harder, not easier, it's not a rest. Don't believe me, then do cadence pull-ups instead.

No kipping, chest to bar/head over bar, arms lockout, overhand grip.

That's all that had to be said.

Seriously do you 'need' chalk to do pullups? I used to be able to do 40 without chalk but, maybe there are people with sweaty hands that need it. Otherwise it's just an aid to get slightly more efficient and some people don't have access to it. You might do more with it but, everyone is going to do without. I didn't use chalk for the deadlift challenge, didn't have any to use.

Rules say you can pause at the top, as you say it's not a rest (I noted it's your funeral). Hanging at the bottom allows the backmuscles some rest at the expense of grip fatigue, thats why it's a no no.

Just be thankfull I didn't ask for people to be wearing a clown suit and do a 1 second static hold mid rep up and down.ha ha....

    • Block bump. $400. As above cyl 6 needs bore or sleeve.
    • I would think making the argument that the travel is limited by a spring flexing against a spring perch as "the same method". Later on in the document they do state that the spring can't bind on full bump travel and cannot come loose in full rebound travel as well. (which is all very sensible). The laws are actually pretty sensible and reasonable. It's just that the people who enforce and check them don't actually read them or know them accurately. "Oh, coilovers? Instant fail mate. Don't even need to look at it." - Guy who will be instantly reported by me. There is probably merit to people who do get defected for height also get defected for the suspension in that state that allows it. I did never consider the people who are complaining about coilovers being picked on are also running around at 50mm off the floor.
    • I think given SAU's knowledge of E85 we can strongly conclude that 10% ethanol in almost any situation is entirely fine. Almost all of the myths against E85 were overblown, let alone E10.
    • From your link See bold text, is this referring to damper settings, if so that may a issue for "some" inspectors, I cannot see aftermarket coilovers having the evidence that "must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original" Maybe just remove the adjustment knows and hope for the best???? Meh 5.2 Suspension travel In all instances, modifications to a vehicle’s suspension must ensure the integrity of the system and not compromise the ride quality. At least two thirds of the original suspension travel should be maintained in both directions (rebound (i.e. extension) and bump (i.e. compression)), and rebound must be limited by the same method used by the vehicle manufacturer or if this is not practicable due to the nature of the modification, an equivalent method. If an alternative method is used, evidence must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original.
    • They actually don't - They adhere to VSB14 rules just like Victoria. The rules are against CABIN adjustable height, and it quite clearly states that the height has to be within parameters. I asked the VASS engineer to confirm this when I got my car engineered and they refused to engineer the coilovers because they didn't meet the requirements for requiring engineering. (mine are height adjustable.) People "Not wanting to bother" with "Actually reading/knowing/adhering to the rules" should result in fines and immediately losing the ability to issue blue slips and/or RWC's in Vic.
