You'd have no issues if we do choose to wear a clown suit though, right?

You get one bonus pullup added to your score (must be full clown, including shoes).

my point being, the more rules there are the harder it is to judge this stuff.....especially with novice comps.

It's hard enough to judge when everyone is in one place, let alone sending in videos etc.

The simpler the better, and the more people will do it, and the more fun it will be, because these after all are only about fun.

But hey, your challenge your rules

So who's got the first video?

You make a good point. Maybe the next challenge can try and embody this more.

less complaining, more pullup.... ing

[Birds]

+1

When I return I wanna see some vids of you guys pulling.

[GTR_JOEY]

Everyone is just gonna train up for the next 3 weeks then submit videos in the last week haha

[markos]

I think Simon is right, hence why were on the second page and no one has posted a vid yet

Good challenge by the way

Note: No way of telling if someone has used chalk, plus chalk is for safety, I make sure all my clients use it.

No one really special at PTC at these, Jesse (68kg) and Bender (68kg) have done 30, Martin would be close

Nina has done 16

We always do our chins this way, if hands were turned around no one here would get 10, we all find this way much, much easier

[Trozzle]

If anyone can do wide-grip chins with their palms facing the other way (toward their body) then they have some seriously unusual wrist joints lol

[SRS13]

I did this tonight. No vid taken - refer GTR_JOEY above...

Managed 16 - not sure if the form was strict enough or not though!

[Birds]

Video is the only way we'll know! Deadlifting is one thing with no vids, but it's very easy to inadvertently cheat / screw up the form with pull ups, so vids are a must.

Will take a vid this week

Works unless you hurt yourself , get sick on the last week or are doing them wrong.

No doubt.

I'll get a video but wanted to try it first! Its a lot harder when having to think about ensuring going all the way down, not pausing blah blah blah. Just read the rules again... "each rep is to come to a complete stop at the bottom"...hhmmmm gotta check that one....

[Birds]

Yeah, makes a huge difference! When I do pullups, which is rare...I do them with the pause at the bottom and I'm wrecked much quicker than on bodyweight lat pulldown, where I rarely let my arms go straight.

[TTT]

GNC Pull Up Xtend should help with this challenge...from what I read on the internet, it's designed to specifically target the lateral muscles.
