MISC Pull Up Challenge!!! (MOD REPS + reps) Pull up beasts GTFIH

[meremortal]

Has anyone actually done this?

nope, no body is even close yet. Check back in a year or two :P

[UFpwrLifter]

Pull ups are the worst! The diff between my first and second set is about 50% less reps on the second set. With that said, this is a really cool challenge (first time I'm seeing this type of challenge and first exposure to the song, yes, I'm new here) and I want to try it soon. Good job MM on keeping the lead.

[fitman84]

Hey guys, when is the maximum late to put the video? Althought my training is very different to this kind of effort I love pull ups and should participate here knowing my result won't be good. I will give it a try in couple days.

Do more pull ups. Once you can do like 25 in a set you shouldn't have this problem

in4 two year bump. So far you're pretty much the only man with a real shot at beating this. Have you tried this on an actual pullup bar yet? I'm still trying to improve on this but I only try this challenge once ever week or two since the recovery time from it was starting to interfere with my regular training.

Give it a try, there is no failure in attempting this challenge as long as you progress in the right direction. And thanks, though right now someone could pull ahead of me since my training is focusing on gaining size not endurance right now.

I'm subbed to this thread so it doesn't matter when you post, could be a year from now and i'd still be aware. There is no limit to this competition. We're all waiting for someone to do it.

Nah, someone else will get it first probably. I haven't trained for this challenge at all since returning to gym, just been focusing on gaining back muscle mass. If someone pulls ahead of me i'll have to get back in the groove tho

that's my dilemma, I've been slowly bulking up lately and my strength is going up which is nice. But this type of exercise benefits those who weigh less and have less fat.

so If I gain too much, I won't get a good time on these pullups lol. I want to bulk up so I can get stronger (I need 10 more lbs to get 315 bench clean) but at the same time I want to keep improving my time doing these pullups.

We'll see, I guess the bulk can wait till winter or smth

lol, bulk with me so I don't have to worry about you pulling ahead of me I'm also conflicted whether to go crazy on these and beat the challenge or get stronger everywhere else.

I think i'll do these pull ups any time I start cutting or maintaining but for the next 3-6 months its all bulkin' time!

[UFpwrLifter]

Do more pull ups. Once you can do like 25 in a set you shouldn't have this problem

My first set is 25-27 (not fully locked out going down), my second set is 10-12 with a couple left, but I just give up bc it's hard as **** as it is.

I saw this posted on the misc earlier. Is this you? I so plz teach me your secrets lol.

Yep, no secrets. Just consistent training for a longggg time. That's the part that gets everybody.

[fitman84]

This is AWESOME!

I have done my try, 1:31. I think this is a very good test for grip-arms strength. I will do it again some day.
It must be outstanding to do the entire song!

[meremortal]

Awesome bump, first entry and you're already top 3. I think only a mutant with primate strength will be able to do the whole song.
Tried repping you but i'm still on spread

All song is 3:29 and you are in 2:04, this is 1:25 of difference. I don't know if it's really impossible or there is any chance. Of course if there is any way to do it it must require a lot of specialization job. Do you think some of that calisthenic gurus could do this? What kind of training do you do?

I don't know, there might be a few of them that could do it after a 2-4 weeks of training but I don't think they could do it first try.
I'm just doing regular bodybuilding routine at the gym right now trying to put on size.
When I was doing this challenge I was doing pull ups 3x a week with things like sets of 50 reps in 5 minutes or less, sets of 100 reps in 10 minutes or less, or just 5 sets of 20 reps.

To really challenge this I would drop most other body-parts and solely focus on pullups and grip strength (hangs), I'll probably start trying to beat this thing in the new year.

[Dr.Seltsam]

Tried it but not yet ready to videotape it.

I think boulderers are more likely to beat the song than calisthenic people.

lol I've seen that vid, boulderers are crazy strong, especially with their grip strength, but I'm not sure they could deal with the pump since they don't do high rep flexing and extending of the arms. Lots of their work is arms mostly extended and difficult grips with a few power moves involved. Also, even on short boulder courses you will often see them take breaks and shake off their arms.

That being said, I do agree that they would probably be able to do this with minimal training and that the grip strength wouldn't be an issue for them.

[WinTuXo]

I would be in if it wasn't for:
tfw you are 6' 5'' with long ass arms and can't even do two pull ups...

Holy fuking shiit, mirin hard man. Crazy strength, I can't even come close to benching 315. reps

[fitman84]

It exists genetics, supplements, nutrition, roids, blahblah... but what gives us the real success is the perseverance, determination, motivation, the real work day after day...

[Beeekay]

I'm so fuking in for this. I'll try get the video done this week.

[BjsWillbeMrnSRS]

innn brahs, will try it when my sores gone

[Critter5592]

wow made it look so easy

[rmm0707]

This is pretty awesome. Never heard of this challenge before. mirin on those that can do it (or are gettin close) .

[vadimmmo]

is there anyone (not on this site) thats ever done it?

[myzlplix]

Holding on for 3 min is a feat in itself.

I'm curious as to weather or not I could hang for the duration of the song, let alone do reps while I'm at it.

IN!?

That's because this baby's never been done

is there anyone (not on this site) thats ever done it?

I don't think so, I tried to find a vid but nobody does it for pull ups in reverse order

I've been finishing all my workouts with hangs to deal with the grip aspect of the song. When I start trying to attempt this again in 2015 grip won't be an issue! I hanged for 4 minutes 8 seconds but I often hung with only one arm to give the other a rest so it is easier than hanging with 2 arms the whole time.

[TheQuiet]

I'll attempt it, but I don't have a camera, just my iPhone lol
