Pullup Challenge

[rev210]

20+ is going to be required to win this is my guess. Although the highest number isn't at that point yet.

Be great to see a few people hit 10's / 15's and even 20+

Maybe Markos can post up a vid of one of the PTC boys or gals showing us how 20+ is done for inspiration?

[SRS13]

Yeah the last few we're halfies and didn't expect them to count at all lol, just wasn't sure how many would count. I thought maybe 14 but rev has final say so 13 it is.

[rev210]

well I think you got some 2/3 ones mate so thats not far off full ones. Give the body a few days rest and I reckon you are there for the full ones too.

[Birds]

I will have a vid of 20 up before the end of the month...on the proviso my shoulder feels good next week!

[SRS13]

So how does one go from 13 pull-ups to 20 in a few weeks? Ie what's the best way to improve on these in such a short amount of time?

At the moment I'm not taking these but, I reckon creatine + beta alanine supplimentation if you aren't on it would likely give you a few more reps ha ha...

Best way is to train the movement a couple of times a week instead of one. With a focus on adding one rep.

20 is a high number for anyone. So even getting close is an achievement.

Anything north of 15 is great.

This should be revised to a week or fortnightly challenge..

[macdog]

next challenge should be this.

20 minutes of the following:

5 x Chin ups

10 x push ups

10 x squats.

Tell me how many sets you get.

No breaks.

This sounds like one of my work training sessions, only thing missing is 20 meter sprints between exersizes, and doing it for 40 minutes.

I usually break at least 1 lung and sprain my heart muscle doing it though, vomiting is always a option as well.

I managed 15 good heaves, no selfies though so no count, Joey, hit me up next time your at the school, weight session then beers.

Hate to think how few vids we would get if we did that...

that's what I'm talking about.

Good work... with 20 meter sprints... definitely would need another set of lungs.

This is what I mean when I say you can use the dead hang for a rest (and why it's banned)

For the powerlifting types how about a go at the world record of weighted pullups. 94kg

good effort 10 4 . No you get 10 points for posting the video of your efforts.

However, you need to reach full stretch at the bottom of the rep (arms straight) for your effort to count in the comp. The rest of your form is spot on.

It does make it much harder going right to the full stretch point but, it also increases your full ROM strength as a bonus. Might initially do less but, you will get stronger the more you attempt.

I'll give it another shot in a few days...

[Mitcho_7]

I'll see if I can get my sister or someone to film me on Thursday. I'm confident I'll get at least 20. Can we go to behind the neck or does it have to be chin over the bar?

[Birds]

Chin over bar...if we could do behind neck, I woulda done them instead haha!
