He looks like swinging idiot.  If he did them correctly he'd get half of them.

bw pullups aren't impressive anymore.. my fatass can do a straight set of 30 now after 6 sets of 10... it's nto really that hard to do if you're back is damn strong like his is.

 ::)  Most pros can barely do any pull ups and their backs are massive and usually pretty strong.

You're quite the shit talker, eh?

 ;D

I'd love to see a clip of said set of 30 "pullups" BTW.

Pullups are always impressive IMO. Especially when guys who weigh 275 lbs do them for 55 reps.

This guy looks pathetic. He's just using his legs and abs. I doubt if his back muscles are even involved in wateva the hell he's doing there.

i'm just saying that bodyweight stuff isn't a big deal.. his powerlifting however.. is historical.  it's all relative I guess

I think your lifting is awesome.

And you always back it up...



...with two inch 100 lbs hammer curls and other legendary feats. ;)

All kidding aside, you're one strong mofo, and I'm looking forward to that pullup clip.

I seriously doubt I could do 10 pull ups.......

I think in the last 10 years I've probably tried them twice...
Title: Re: Konstantinovs 55 pullups
Post by: MisterMagoo on February 05, 2009, 04:41:24 PM
guaranfuckingtee no one here could get 55 even if they swung like that. the grip needed for that is phenomenal. i tried the day i found that video and died at 28, keep in mind i'm 225 and he's 280. not to mention the last 11 or so were rest pause shit.
Title: Re: Konstantinovs 55 pullups

LOL i might be able to get 20 but it would be ugly as shit...

Wickeds probably one of the strongest dudes on this board funny how ppl who dont post vids or pics talk shit or questions a guy who posts vids quite often and has no reason to lie.

When this joker can do 20 clean pull ups wit a bottom pause of 5 seconds on each rep with 3 45's around his waist then I'd be impressed.  Until then.... ::)

Just hanging there for 90 secs takes great grip strength,and i don`t care how much pushing he does with his legs,he`s not pushing against anything except fresh air.so unless he learnt how to fly,thats not helping him at all.Plus any excess swinging places more effort on the grip.

Look forward to seeing this video of you chinning 135lbs for 20 reps with a 5 second pause at the bottom of each one.

I saw a video of Emelianenko doing pullups and he performs them exactly like Konstantinov... But he didn't do 55... no way!!!  :o
Title: Re: Konstantinovs 55 pullups
Post by: thewickedtruth on February 09, 2009, 12:38:07 PM
it's a legit exercise.. just like a jm press can be considered a version of the barbell extension they're both similar but different movements.

what it looks like konti and fedor do are called kipping pullups.. is that right? i know crossfit trainers and trainees do them that way.

I think it could be a relatively straightforward competition.  In terms of putting it together, I think that Lift4size is the ideal man for the job.   ;D
I'd be happy to judge!

Hmmm....Im out of this one! ;D We can try and put it together though.


Heres what I think is acceptable for such an event.

-As many as you can do in one minute
-Must go from full hang to chin at bar level or higher
-Any form counts (underhand, overhand, swinging, etc...) except for neutral grip
-Must write your screen name on a piece of paper and show it in the vid
-Cannot leg go of the bar at any time. Let go and you're finished.

Anything you would add, anyone?

I love the way he storms up to the weight like he's pissed at it, and then just sets up and picks it up without much fiddling around!

+1

...or actually, I did two sets the other night and I was horrible, absolutely horrible. One set of 6 which felt aweful and the next set of 7 or 8.

I'll give it a go come end of March.

Why don't we get it together for the end of April or something?  That would give Lift enough time to secure some prizes, and we can get wickedtruth on the promotional tour, spamming the G&O and other boards to generate interest.   ;D

Geo,what gave out first,your grip on the bar or back strength.The reason i ask is that on the Konstantinovs video it takes him 90 secs to do the reps,and that just shows the incredible grip strength needed to get high reps on pull ups.
Plus,i`ve just had a look at some of your other videos,impressive benching mate.
