Weighted Pullup World Record ***training***

[ExtremistPullup]

My Goal is to do a Pull-up with 400+ LBs....Again.... by May 20th, 2011

The current world record: Tim Ferguson, Australia, weighing 178 lb with another 202 lb


http://www.strengthospeedia.org/



This time I have to have two qualified witnesses and submit the videos and statements to. Dale Harder of "Strength & Speed".
I also have a open claim to add "Heaviest Weighted Pull-up" to the Guinness World Records. I'll hear back in 4 weeks if it's approved.

Background:

The very first time breaking 380 LBs was on Mar 16, 2008.


Second and third time was training for a weighted pullup contest held by extremepullups.com. I started training on Aug 27, 2010
Sep 18, 2010 I did 386 Lb

Oct 11, 2010 I did 404 Lb


Supplements:

Whey protein 80 grams (2 scoops) on the workout day and the 2 days after
A mix of Optimum nutrition and EAS from Sam's Club

In and subbed for epicness!

Are you doing any other workouts to train up or just pull ups?

Right now just pull-ups I'll keep my leg routine but nothing that might hurt my lower back. I'll take it easy on squats.

If i get stuck I might do some incline and shoulders. pullups do hit your chest.

I'll try and keep my self between 200 and 210.

Is the record you are going for total weight, or % of body weight, or both?

Well I already did it I just have to do it again

[ExtremistPullup]

201 lb body weight
I worked out from home. My rhomboids were a little tender today, working though it.

Set 1- 31 pull-ups body weight

Break

(Hold slow Negative on last rep)
Set 2- 135 lb 2 reps
Set 3- 100 6 reps
Set 4- 100 6 reps
Set 5- 100 6 reps
Set 6- 100 6 reps
Set 7- 135 1 rep

I am very aware of my lats, chest is was definitely worked. blame it on the 31 body weight reps.

I think my next back workout will be sunday or monday.

sub'd for motivation!

I'm comparing my progress with the 2010 weighted pullup contest.

If I progress the same way I should get 386 lb by Apri 2nd, and 404 on April 25th

I bet it comes back sooner!

[ExtremistPullup]

Ya, I want to be certain I'll be able to do it when the date comes. I don't want to just "hope I get it" when the witnesses show up. I'm sure I can predict a 386 lbs pull, but I really don't want to beat it by just 6 lbs.

I might schedule two pulls April 16 and May 14

Yeah thats a lot of pressure to have to perform on an exact day at an exact time.

Rest day
not sore or hurting just resting

[onlyhuman656]

In that photo with tim feguson , it shows him doing a chin up?? And it states he holds the chin up world record? Is it his record you're going for?

And have only just realised that you are trying to beat a record held by an Aussie. Is going to be a bitter sweet day when u get that record, mate.

Nah, never heard of Tim ferguson till now. Dont think too many people in Aus would have to be honest.



Does it matter if you do chinups or pullups? just that it says his record was for chinups???? so i was a little confused.

I have never even tried a max weighted on a chinup. In fact I rarely ever do chinups. I prefer hammer grip pullups. Would be interesting to see what my max 1 rep is with chinup grip and hammer grip.
