Title: Open challenge to 240 is back.
Post by: Grape Ape on December 27, 2013, 11:42:12 AM
i'm a skinnyfat twink human toilet that worships obama's cokehead ways, and even I can knock out 12 body weight pullups without stopping.   

I do not believe that you can perform 12 body wight pullups with the chest touching the bar, full ROM, and pause at the bottom.   I am prepared to offer the following challenge - Post a video of said feat within 2 weeks with the following consequences:

If you fail, you suffer the humiliation of being another getbig bullshitter, must use the avatar of my choice for a month, and must do 10 workouts next month of 333386's choice.

If you are successful and prove me wrong, I will continue to post as I normally do, and will avoid this topic as much as possible.  When people confront me about it, I will reply with a mix of the rolleye smiley, "internet serious bidness", or "meltdown."

Do you accept?

A little worried about using the camera in the gym.  They're pretty strict.

But yeah, I'll do it once I find a place.  But despite my sad bench numbers (nowhere near 300 yet) and scrawny arms, I can do pullups, I've always been pretty good at those. 

So gimme a day or 3 to find something to hang from.  If I drive past an empty playground, I'll definitely lean up the iphone and record myself doing them.    I don't see this as any major huge feat of strength.   No making fun of the "thinning" spot in the hair, although I do keep it trimmed pretty close these days  ;D

Are you trying to bench 300?  If so, I've done a few programs that got me there in the past I could send you the links to.

I've always kind of sucked at pullups - even when I was at my strongest.  I'm wondering just doing them 4 times a week would solve it.

haha yeah, I'll never reach 240.   I'm low 190s these days, and 5 of those pounds are safety fat :)  I've always been able to do bunches of pullups.  I'm narrow, my legs are okay, but my back is probably my strongest area.  I have to build a bunkbed this weekend, maybe I'll do 12 pullups off that.  

bench press... yeah... I had a rotator cuff and/or biceps strain which cost me 12 weeks of upper body training (maybe 3-4 years ago).  I have never been able to regain the intensity I used to enjoy for chest day.  It used to be 25 sets of free weights every time, and chest was my best area probably.  Now my lower pecs just look deflated :(  I'd definitely appreciate any links!

uh, slight problem dude. he never said he did dead-stop C2B pullups. just 12 bodyweight pullups. if you want to actually call him out on his claim all he needs to do is get his chin over the bar 12 times.

shit i can bang out pullups without a problem but doing 12 like you just described would be a fight.

very few can do 12 bodybuilding style pullups thatd be effetive on the back muscles.

swing ups ,yah, but that does fuck all for back development.

dont fool yourselves a back which can do 12 perfect rom slow all time tension pullups is gonna look very good.

that, or as mentioned, when one has sticks for legs, but even then,very hard.

for reference what cswol did for pullup was a disgrace, that was not 1 proper rep.

I'm sure they will cancel his membership if someone catches his buddy using a phone to record 12 pull ups in 20 seconds. not worth the risk imo. And no playgrounds or schools to be found in Florida this time of year that aren't covered in snow. Lol at bunkbed!

it's not really "calling someone out" if you change the criteria on a whim. you're challenging him to something he never said he could do. if you're gonna do that, why not change the number? or say he has to do them one-handed, or on a smooth bar with bacon grease smeared all over it? pointless to issue a challenge if it's not what the person originally said.

not at all true. if you're willing to give me a little leeway i can hit 12 on a good day (chest can't QUITE hit the bar on all 12, but within an inch) and my back doesn't look that great.

All good.

I set the criteria as stated, to avoid cswol-type reps.

As long as he hits full rom, I'll hold up my end of the deal.

That's not fair at all. You've made it too safe for yourself for you to 'win'.

A chin is legit if the bar clears your chin, and no pause required at the bottom or top.

It was causing to much of a shake up with some other posters in terms of the criteria of the challenge.  The board cannot afford a seismic rift at the moment, so 240 and I are now collaborating to get his bench to 300.   The pullups will have to wait.

Correct.   Also, I forgot about it :)  If I hit the playground this week, I'll still knock out as many pullups as I can.   I dunno about the pause thing tho... dont mean a thing without that swing :)

I feel special then. I can do quite a few strict pullups, not that kipping garbage. Don't know about SLOOWWWWW though. Guarantee at least twenty though, for going slow. And no, no stick legs. I've got my wheels back since I have been working around my jacked knee.

Some people can just do pull ups decently well. I wouldn't doubt 240 is one of them/

You think you can just march in here a challenge 240? Hey, man, you don't talk to 240. You listen to him. The man's enlarged my mind. He's a poet warrior in the classic sense. I mean sometimes he'll... uh... well, you'll say "hello" to him, right? And he'll just walk right by you. He won't even notice you. And suddenly he'll grab you, and he'll throw you in a corner, and he'll say, "Do you know that 'if' is the middle word in life? If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs and blaming it on you, if you can trust yourself when all men doubt you"... I mean I'm... no, I can't... I'm a little man, I'm a little man, he's... he's a great man! I should have been a pair of ragged claws scuttling across floors of silent seas..

So although I was correct, and I will adjust my internet ranking up as usual, I will also adjust 240's up slightly too, but will not enforce any of the other penalties outlined in the bet, due to 240's good sportsmanship, and the fact that somebody actually tried to back up what they say.

It's florida, so it was 82 degrees and light rain at the time.  I was coming back from a grocery store at saw the park and stopped.  Ran some sprints, then did 10 and 1/2 pullups for the video.  I've been preparing for a tough mudder... lots of running.  I'm 5'10 or 5'11... probably 188 or so there.  I'm down a little in weight since then.  Lots of cardio, jacobs ladder, ,long term running.
