My gym only goes to 100lb dumbells so If I row more than that, I take a hammer curl bar and load 25s onto it.

WEEK 8 - SUNDAY OCTOBER 2 TO SUNDAY OCTOBER 9

Challenge: wide grip PULL UPS. as many as you can in a row
rules: do as many wide grip pull ups as you can in a row without stopping.
do not use any cheating motion to help like kicking or swinging your legs.
must go to 95% or better extension.
why?: wide grip pull ups are a fantastic way to work your back and add width. secondary muscles used include shoulders and arms.



this is strictly for fun, so use your own honor and dont cheat.

Phozy 12 @ 120lbs.


:okay:

AAnthonYY - 19 @ 176 lbs

wow being sick hella influences you, i only do like ~15 now and i collapse :okay:

I knew it ... True wide grip, hands gripping well past shoulder width.

Berzweakbacker 5 @ 200lbs :(

Berz out.

anyone who does more than 15 is beast. anyone who does more than 15 with 45lbs dangling below their nuts is halo

Why are my lats so weak! I can row like a beast. DL is approaching beast levels.... Lats Y U NO STRONGER???

Berz out.

20 @ 177 Wide Grip
+ 15 Muscles ups (see 10 muscle up video a few pages back).

Fuark

I got 10 today. Hands slightly closer but still wider than shoulder width. I'm not going to count this for the challenge though as I feel they weren't true "wide grip" pull ups.

Berz out.

Got 11 down. @ 122lbs

How wide would you say your hand have to be to qualify for this challenge. I'm not nit picking I'm just wondering what you guys consider wide grip. Wide grip would have your arms in a W shape at the top rather than an inverted M right?

Berz out.

^ Correct, with your head making the middle of the W :P

I think the next challenge should be dips :D

11 @ 198lbs

I've bulked up by almost 20lbs, but I can still do the same amount as I used to do at a lower weight for all my body weight exercises, weird

That's sick. I just hit 10 during Monday's workout, but probably going to lay off of them for a bit. The last 2-3 reps put a lot of strain on my wrist, and hurts like fuck sometimes.

17 wide grip pullups @ 148lb

Lol, been gradually losing weight ever since school started (8lb lost). Prioritizing school over food for this semester. Losing strength as well :okay:

I donno about everybody else, but my hands are at the very end of the wide grip. I'm going as wide as possible

you do 19 as wide as possible? vid?

shit! this is where I rep out 15 on vid and get called out. Ill take a shitty blackberry vid. but I will say this its beneficial to have short arms when it comes to wide grips.
