Yep strict form, none of that CrossFit kipping bollocks either, though last few reps would be a bit ropey.Quote:

I max out at around seven very shoddy chin-ups.
But the gauntlet has been tossed and I shall be taking up the challenge. I'm gonna do mine on those little rock climbing hold too, just to earn me double-hunk points.
20 x pull ups completed @ 48 kg.
That's just over half my body weight.
Gonna try and crack this challenge in the next few weeks.
It's a gradual process of building up to it.
Pull ups, I can pull down more for longer for some strange reason.
Maybe it's the machine I'm on.
Ruddy hard work to get into the 20 club.
Gonna have a couple of days rest getting pissed and burning the kitchen down.
Then I'm going to go straight in at full weight which is currently just under 90kilos,will see how many I can do safely without injury.
Then gonna try and beat it by one every two days...
How do you do a pull up with only half your body weight, Chitty? What's your technique?
There's a machine at the gym, I'll post a pic up next time.
Cheers.
One of these or similar, you can add / remove weight on the stack as needed:

^Not much good, imo. Best using a cable pull-down machine to build up strength in the lats, until you're strong (or light enough) to do real body-weight pull ups.
It's my extra weight that's going to hinder me. My son does handstand push-ups. I can't do half of one :)

I used to do those and then one time I burst all the blood vessels in my eye lids.
Spent about a week looking like I was wearing purple/red mascara. :D
The only thing I can pull is my cock, did get one of those exercise bike though, better get on it how many k should I be doing on it a day?
Challenge accepted- need an excuse to rejoin the gym! I find the cold deeply motivating to exercise- probably not helped that the gym cranks the windows open letting the toxic cloud of coal and plastic smoke into the gym!
I am going to meet up with Chitty when he comes. Head to the park and walk/jog 15 k in less than 2 hours, then we will hit the pull up bars. I reckon I will be good for 6 or 8, and bet I can better his effort. The proof is in the pudding..:)

We don't have that fancy machine in my gym, which mostly seems to be frequented by past and current Mongolian wrestlers- current PM of Mongolia actually worked out there until he was elected. I guess I am going to have to do it the old school way
Thanks for the invite AO, i would expect yourself and everyone else on here to be members of the 20 pull up club by July next year.
Not sure that'll i'll be up for a 15 k 2 hour walk inland,unless it's by the sea.
When i hit Thailand it's mostly gonna be Singha, sun, sea, sand and a few temples:)
Fuck that, tatty lifting straps FTW

It fits inside 32'" doors you clown.
No wonder you look like such a faggot in the gym, with your arms spreadeagled like a fucking demented albatross doing the YMCA.:)
