Started my back day with fiddy super wide grips (12,12,7,8,6,6)
Did another 30 @ the end (12,10,8) of wide grip + 2 sets of 10 neutral grip.
A hundred in total, but I remember reading in my Ahhhhhnold book that it's muuch better to do a hundred of one type of pullup as opposed to 50 wide & 50 close.

so you did 12

yeah...a few times...my super wide grip max is 15, any more than that and I get sloppy and start using my bodys momentum

5'8" @ 157

Underhand: 24

Will try wide-grip tomorrow.

150lbs - 17 underhand.

Still nursing a shoulder injury so I'll sit this one out ;(

So does winner choose next challenge
Posted via RS Mobile

theres an idea!

anyone want to group everyones results into one post?

How are we determining the winner? Weight class?

Someone should make vids as proof.
Can't wait to see next week's challenge.

5'7 @ 135

this would be overall since its body weight its fair game. whether you're 135lbs and skinny or 280lbs and ripped, 20 pull ups is a challenge!

160lbs 15 wide grip max per set

lol halo is disqualified since he did weighted pullups

wide grip = 13 :okay:

6ft , 164 lb.

I'm thinking body weight bench ? How many reps for this week
Posted via RS Mobile

12 reps @ 155lbs wide grip, fml lol

since everyone weigh differently, and doing different weight levels, everything should be calculated relatively

ex. halo

14 reps at 240lbs + 45lbs

(240+45)/240 = 1.19 multiplier x 14 reps = 16.63 reps at body weight

works for just about all exerises, hope my math is correct

that sounds good. wish i could compete, tendon in right arm is torn. words cannot describe this shitty feeling :okay:

must go to beyond parallel or deeper (ATG).
why?: The squat is the king of all exercises!

Squat Video & Instructions Video & Instructions | Muscle & Strength



*eg. if you weigh 170lbs. bar (45) + 45x2 (90) + 10x2 (20) + 5x2 (10) +2.5x2 (5) = 170lbs



Post up your body weight, along with your result for comparison too


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

dont forget to breath! bonus points if you do and get it on video like this:

Should be standardized from here on in... ie only WG or only NG or only UH... btw I am 160

Agreed^

Legs on Wednesday, I'm only squatting 150lb so hopefully I'll hit at least 35 reps.

ya next time around will be standardized. wanted to leave it open this time to get people interested. i think the challenges will end up repeating or at least with some variation every couple months too.

i have never tried to squat more that 20 reps with weights before.. I have done up to 50 with body weight but that is different.
