Pull-Up Crew

**Teenwolf2** · 10-01-2011, 05:56 PM

This thread is for anyone who has a love of pull-ups.

Pull-ups are one of the best compound exercises out there without question. A pull-up monkey is easy to spot among the weekend warriors at your gym: pulsating lats, engorged traps, boulders for shoulders, plump biceps and forearms so wide you could use them as a serving tray.

Post your PR's, questions, tips and suggestions, we are all here to help each other.

Each fortnight, a new pull-up challenge will be posted, with reps (a gentlemens agreement) going to the best, most improved or most involved posters.

To post, you must be able to do BWx10. It's that easy. If you can't do 10, what are you waiting for? Join the club

I'm SomeRandom and I'm a pullup addict... I started doing pullups over the summer because I didn't have access to weights for quite a long time. I ended up making a spreadsheet and trying to beat yesterday's total. The highlight was probably 300 pullups in one day. Now I do them weighted (currently at +30lbs) and am trying to get to 1 plate as fast as possible. From there the sky is the limit. Lately my I've been exhibiting pullup monkey-like behaviors such as supersetting everything from deadlifts to squats with body weight pullups.

Other info:
Age: 15
Current weight: ~142lbs
Favourite movie: The Shawshank Redemption
bw max=14
weighted 5RM= +30lbs
45lbs= ???
1RM= ???
short term goal:+45lbs pullup x5
Long term goal: join the extreme pullups crew

I'll test my 45lbs, and 1RM on Monday and update!

I'm Teenwolf2 and I'm a pull-up addict.

I started doing pull ups 3 months ago, starting with sets of 3. I was immediately captivated, and since I have been doing them religiously. Now I'm at BWx16 and +45x5, and I'm aiming to get to +70x5 before christmas. I love doing pull- ups because it's such a natural movement, and something which not only makes you a rough nut, but also is great in terms of aesthetic gains.

This isn't quite a log

in either way!

Tmisc is cluttered with too much bs, I think theres more purpose to it in workout logs.

Get the entire video and fast-forward

I take your word for it that you did 100, but it's only fair that everyone submit an entire video.

IN FOR SURE!!

I used to be addicted to pullups lol (srs). I did probably 40-60 a day for a few months straight. I have been really slacking in that department lately so I could really use the motivation.

My best PR's have been BW x 20 & +45x8 deadhang-not completely strict when I was around 170lbs~. Now I can probably crank out BWx14 on a good day if I was really pushing myself at around 185lbs.

I'll do some pullups next workout and see exactly where I'm at.

**Teenwolf2** · 10-02-2011, 08:58 PM

The challenge finishes two Monday's from now. I'm doing it tomorrow. If anyone can do this sub 15 minutes I will be very impressed.

Charles poliquin says that anyone who steps into a gym should be able to do BWx12 as a standard minimum. Dayum.

Sounds good. Twelve bw pullups is pretty hard.. deadhang. Sub 15 sounds very challenging, I think I'll have multiple attempts at this one

**monkey20** · 10-03-2011, 04:20 AM

In! Can do about 12-13 from total dead hang. Will attempt the challenge some time this week

**Teenwolf2** · 10-03-2011, 04:50 AM
