I have a spreadsheet log posted in my workspace so I see it everyday and sp does everyone I work with. Almost my whole office is in on this as well. Besides, I always do some pull ups in my warm ups at the gym.

Oh I'll be around, Its going to suck day 50+, but it'll be worth it, I can already notice an increase in lat strength. I'm not used to doing pullups since I cant do more than 8 in a row, due to my body weight, and the fact that unlike everybody in my gym I actualy get my chin over the bar.

 

[madds87]

After the challenge on your own start doing weighted pull ups and your lats will just explode! I say after the challenge just because weighted pull ups once were in the latter part of this may be a bit too much. But I plan on doing 45lbs weighted after this. I think I'll be good and ready for it then.

I'm still in this. I'm up to 8 as of yesterday... gonna go get nine here in a minute. The time will come when I dread this part of the day, it's still just one set for me so far, probably got another week or so of that in me.

This thing ends June 16? I never really counted ahead. I might be at Disney World then. Think people will look at me weird if I doing pull-ups on some random piece of Park equipment, ride, or the kids jungle area??? Should be good, Ha!

A picture of that would fit great on the CrossFit.com mainpage.... "CrossFitter takes a break from vacation in order to stay on pace for pullup challenge" *PU's on a rollercoaster beam*

I'll be keeping watch on this one - can't jump in just yet however. I might have to (painfully) buy-in at a later date however. Keep up the great work!

Great idea, I'll have to try and make that happen!

 

[scottedont]

[madds87]

[Chub]

I missed out yesterdays pull ups due to a sore wrist and now today is my day off so i don't have access to the gym...

but i think i'll haul my arse down to the gym for the pull ups, maybe a steam too!

 

[jdg487]

An easy 10 today.... I think I'll link this up on my sig too

 

[thaOrleanyte]

im good for the next month...........im not looking forward to when we hit the 70's

 

[Chub]

im good for the next month...........im not looking forward to when we hit the 70's

i think when it gets that high i'll start going for nightly jogs down to the park and nail some out on the kiddies jungle jim frame thingy

 

[Chub]

[ABNRanger]

Man I killed it on back yesterday with this workout below so today should have been an easy 10, but it was a struggle. Tomorrow is an active recovery day with a 3-4 mile run so I should be fine again.

Lift
Deadlift 3-2-2-2-1-1-1-1-1 (use the 3 reps as a lighter warm-up weight, then go up in weight each set for the remaining sets until you hit your one rep max)
WOD
With a continuously running clock do one chest to bar pull-ups one minute, 2 chest to bar pull-ups the second, and so on until failure.

Then I superset some various biceps lifts with some more back work like rows. Followed everything with a good cycling session.

Nice, how much were you deadlifting?

Side note man I'm a few days behind, but my dip belt should be coming in soon so I can add a 45 plate :burnout:

I know what you mean I think I have to move pullups to the beginning of my workout...I tend to rape my back with deads.

i have a question: what is the correct breathing pattern for pull-ups?

when i've done them in the past i inhale at the bottom and exhale as i'm getting to the top. is this correct breathing technique?

This pic is of my last (#14) L Pull-up. Form def started to falter at the end. I'm working on that, but the L position is hard for me.

You know, that's a good question. I really am not sure. I believe I inhale on the way up and exhale on the way down, ending my breathes at the to extremes of the ROM. It just feels natural to me. I haven't read anywhere anything regarding breathing and pull-ups. I would say don't even think about it and let your body just do it.

On another, but similar note, I am working on putting a guide to better Pull-ups together. I want to cover aspects from the beginner working for their 1st to the experienced working towards a PR, whether it's for reps or poundage/tonnage. I will also cover the various methods, grips, their purposes etc. All that into an easy to read/follow summary. I've got it started, just need to finish it now.
