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

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!

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

"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."


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

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

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

i could probably do 15-20 with underhand grip.
 :-\

then again, i curl 65lb dumbells for 10 reps at a bodyweight of around 215lbs.

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.
Most are all show no go!

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.
