-One minute to do as many pullups as possible.
-Overhand and underhand grip only, no neutral grip.
-Chin must reach or clear bar.
-Camera must be in good position to judge quality of reps.
-You must hold onto the bar at all times.
-Wrist straps are NOT allowed. Wrist WRAPS are allowed if needed. (Please show us them clearly so we know you arent cheating)

Prizes provided by AtLarge Nutrition will be awarded to the top three contestants! (products in the amount of)
1st = $100
2nd = $75
3rd = $50
One more note on form. If you have not seen the Konstantinov pullup video, he has "questionable form". We are accepting any comparable form (watch the vid). In the end this "technique" will not help you much, especially with grip, but knock yourself out.
So who is in? Better get practicing!

hahha kyomu, that guy has the worst pull-up form I have ever witnessed. Wouldn't get credit for one single pull-up by USMC standards. He is just kicking his legs and using momentum. :-\

Give it a try. See if you can get 55 with your chin above the bar. :-*

I told this to Mister Magoo when he showed me this clip. Those are kips if anything.
A contest doing over handed, locked elbow pull ups would be more interesting.

for a 250+ pound man, 55 reps is INCREDIBLE it doesnt even matter how much you swing your feet, Its amazing.
but yes, they aint real reps, but he could probably do 40 real ones 35-40
-
I can't do more than that guy so pointless to enter :P

real ones at comps looks like this, that ammount of momentum is allowed.

35-40 reps w/o swinging at all? That would be impressive at any bodyweight. He looks like a strong dude all the way. I don't think however he could do them with strict form or he would, don't you think?
-

How about have him do proper form ones and see how many he can get? And you know I'm right, that "form" is laughable at best. I'm sure you have a Marine, or ex-Marine at your gym....ask them to count for him....if he does them like that, he would still be at zero.
-
Konsti's form is identified as "questionable" and anything equal to or better will be accepted.

There was a guy at MEPS who did them like that last week. He did about 20. When he dropped down he didn't realize the gunny had said "ZERO" with each rep. lol

do you really expect me to flail around on a bar like a moron for... you? :-* because thats what that moron in the vid is doing.
just try to imagine *pulling straight up and down*.. then imagine me.. there you go.

Im sure he could handle 30 strict ones
-
why wouldn't the organizers of the "competition" post a video of someone doing the "expected" proper form as a guideline. Instead they post a video of guy doing swinging leg kicks. Perhaps this is the way the company in general operates :-\
-

well that would be more impressive than what he's doing in that vid.
-
If Aquilles happens to long in like he does every 3 months, he will find a way to win this.

haha, I saw a guy do that too on a PT test. It was comical. The SGT just kept yelling "zero!" as the clown swung around like a monkey. The most legit I ever witnessed with strict form was 35. Guy weighed about 165, 5'11", and was solid as a rock. Could run for days too... did see him take a beaten with pugil sticks one day!
-

I agree. I just wanted to be sure nobody thinks those are REAL pull-ups. 8)
good luck with the contest, my shoulders are too messed up to do anything respectable anymore!
-

exactly ,
swing then row then drop down
i have a hard time seing someone do over 25 reps correct

old school USMC you were allowed to "kip". they brought the new standard of the dead hang no kip in in the late 90's.
from when i was in, those would have been legit pulls for the marine corps

bullshit. show me someone that can do 50 pull ups without a kip.......doubt youll find it.
-

shit I can't even do 8 reps with the chin over the bar
-

Hahaha.omg, took the words out of my mouth, or some other guy that posts 3 times a year but has somehow accumulated 100 posts (95 of which a week out from the contest) they should raise the post count to at least 600
-
cue racist comments....
-
i could probably do 15-20 with underhand grip.
:-\
then again, i curl 65lb dumbells for 10 reps at a bodyweight of around 215lbs.

yet another typical rworthless rigged bodybuilding related contest (http://www.naturalmastersbodybuilding.com/laf.gif) (http://www.naturalmastersbodybuilding.com/laf.gif) (http://www.naturalmastersbodybuilding.com/laf.gif)

Its like doing the stairs in Santa Monica,
No matter how much you cheat holding the rail,
You still have to work, and work hard to get to the
top of them.
I guess all the internet mass monsters know they couldn't
even do 55 of those even in that form, or they would enter.

In other words Chris is going to offer the winner $5 in prizes, his cost ::) Business must be boomin! ::)

Exactly. Complain all you want about his form, the prizes, and how stupid pullups are but its just for fun.
Everyone does pullups evey now and again so why not video tape it and win some supps that you would probably buy anyway?
You dont have to replicate his form, just do pullups. Look at Geo's vid, strict as can be.
Though I suppose if we made it a movement suitable to YOU (being a whiny bitch for reps?), you would be singing a different tune? ::)
-
that guy has mastered how to get maximum lift out of his legs, but still thats a 255lb guy doing widegrip overhand for 55 reps...thats extremely impressive.
i can do around 25 standard pullups in one take but apparently thats not even close to good enough lol
-

No it's not... it's a garbage, beaten to death, marketing ploy on the "grass roots" level. You should have just been am official sponser of Mr Getbig if you want to do a little promotion for product.

You dont have to beat him, just the other getbiggers. Go read the PL board posting.
