Yep strict form, none of that CrossFit kipping bollocks either, though last few reps would be a bit ropey.Originally Posted by Chittychangchang
I usually do 10-15 reps for 4 sets in me workout.

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.
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.
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.
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
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.
Pull your arms in, Look at the red lines below , the inner markings are for chin ups and the outer for pull ups
