Pullup Challenge

[macdog]

I like this challenge...

will post up vid on monday.

Did someone say no straight legs?

[Birds]

You can have straight legs, or bent legs, or any position you like...you just can't move them out of this position while doing it / use them to kip. It other words, lift only with your arms.

There is a list of rules at the start. complete hang at the bottom of the rep, arm completely straight. That is the most common thing people don't normally do.

Think I have more in me, so will attempt again when fresh. I did these after rows, which I reckon taxed me a bit. Hopefully the form is acceptable, judge rev!

[Mitcho_7]

Can't fault your form, I reckon it meets the requirements

[GTR_JOEY]

Yep looks like good form to me

[rev210]

13 is a great effort birds! You are in the lead.

[Birds]

Thanks dudes...

Bet rev is waiting for Feb 28 to post a video of him clocking 30

Nah back in the day (in my 20's) I could do 50 and 20 muscle ups (I haven't even tried doing one muscle ups in a decade). .

Challenge wise, I have a left arm injury that will take some time to recoup. I was thinking someone else, younger than me could win this one. I'll try and post a vid a week of me having a go all the same to keep it in the spirit.

Maybe another thread for those trying to hit 20 pullups. It's a good goal.

Lets have the lead change daily here because waiting till the end of the month to present is boring. This isn't about being insecure, putting up your best effort will get encouragement. For those who are trying to win, bring along everyone to be inspired by posting progress vids.

In that spirit , here's a 14 rep one with my trusty 30kg backpack.

Not my back day but, I want to encourage the competition. Lets get to 15. And if you can't do 10 don't leave it, make Feb the month to make it a first.

lol fk ya rev...now I gotta do 15 next week. May have to instigate a rule that you can't win two challenges in a row, so I have a chance at winning one

Agree about the vids...let's get some more up already. You can always post multiple attempts until the end of the month. No f**ks given if you can only muster 1, this shit ain't easy.

[rev210]

Don't worry , if you can get to 20 or so I won't be able to win even without weights. You can see my left arm strapped, I can't go past 20 till I have it fixed.

[TTT]

This isn't equipped lifting mate. That arm strap is not within IPF code so you are disqualified. We will be looking to strip you of your past victories due to the use of performance enhancing wraps and helium filled backpack.

[rev210]

It's not a wrap it's the covering for the bionic surgery in my arm.
