Inspired by the Konstantinov 55 pullup video, here is the GetBig Pullup Contest!
Sponsored by

Rules are simple:
-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)
-Present your name in the video. (on a piece of paper is fine)
-Must be a Getbigger with at least 100 posts!

Entry date is MARCH 29th 2009!

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. $:-\$

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

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.

ripitupbaby · « **Reply #12 on:** March 25, 2009, 05:07:08 AM »

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

Im sure he could handle 30 strict ones

Red Hook · « **Reply #22 on:** March 25, 2009, 05:24:05 AM »

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 $:-\$

If Aquilles happens to long in like he does every 3 months, he will find a way to win this.
