so i keep hearing different deadlines on this..i know its just for fun, but 100 dollars is a few steak dinners where i live so im "in it to win it"

here a vid of me doing a few trying to adjust to that crazy ass swinging style

bodyweight is 250 in the vid lol i only got around 23 a full 17 short of my goal but gimmie a week and ill be able to get close when i fix my form

surprising grip does not seem to be the limiting factor lol lack strength seems to be it in my case

more vids to come next week

That was certainly Konstantinov-esque!

Thats what I expected. Getting anywhere near 55 is almost impossible.

Good effort! Now its up to the judges.

like i said earlier this was just an experiment

i will post a vid next week of me doing a much better set aiming for 35-40

Well I'm glad you posted this because I am one of the judges and I am not sure which ones of those to count and which not to.

Should I be counting only the ones where your chin clears the bar or also the ones where your face kinda gets up to it? In looking at it somewhat strictly, I counted about 16 good ones.

I counted 2 maybe 3...

hahaha OK well I went back and looked at the Konstantinov video...he gets his whole head above the bar on the majority of those pullups.

So maybe more like 8-10...

How strict are we going?

The Wall · « **Reply #10 on:** March 11, 2009, 07:49:37 AM »

yeah i agree im gonna fix it in my next vid..that whole swinging thing was harder than i thought there is a big timing issue and it can actually be alot harder if u do it wrong

i wont let ya down rip

I always thought a pull up was chin over the bar.....

this contest is gonna be nearly impossible to judge for strict form..

of all the training exercises i really hate chin ups
doing chins really remind me of how weak my upper
body strength really is keep at it wall

bulkdawg562 · « **Reply #13 on:** March 11, 2009, 10:08:20 AM »

did a little searching and found a few smart options on
improving strength and full ROM on chins and pull ups

Chin to OR above the bar. It says it right in the rules.

When will we see your vid GEO?

you've already seen mine...

12 with any kind of form at all...

legs should be completely out of the equation !

tonymctones · « **Reply #16 on:** March 11, 2009, 03:41:23 PM »

man im gonna look like retard using a bench to get up on the bar

one question do we have to fully extend at the bottom not to be a dick head but it seems like in geo's vid there where a few reps where his arms didnt fully extend again not to be a dick, just curious.

The Wall · « **Reply #17 on:** March 11, 2009, 05:35:03 PM »

Geo...the constest is about Big Ks effort in which legs are used...if you wish to side bet challenge me with strict form i would be happy to accept

no one is arguing the way chins are "supposed" to be done but give the form thing a rest already lol in case you missed it a 100 dollars is on the line, if i gotta strip down to my underwear to edge out someone else and win the money ill do it.. so using legs is part of the game

not trying to scold you or anything your posts just sound pretty judgemental

The Wall · « **Reply #18 on:** March 11, 2009, 05:49:06 PM »

nice effort on your pulls though...again not trying to be a jackass just trying to make a point, its like using a weight belt for powerlifting...if it is allowed than you would be crazy not to use it...if you do 600 raw and i do 601 with a belt , yea urs was tougher but u still came in second place

sorry for the analogy im sure u got my point without the "xtra help"

anyways expect my vid on monday

along with a 405 raw bench vid and possibly a 475 olympic style squat (ass to grass, narrow stance)

GL to everyone else in the pullup contest

honestly....

watching you swing around like a mongoloid on meth and only gettin maybe 5-6 above the bar,I seriously doubt you have 10 strict ones in ya...

* no offense to any mongoloids that may be reading this

Thanks for the laugh dude. SERIOUSLY !!!

i have no desire to turn this into a gossip and opinoins pissing match ....ill let my next vid clear up this misunderstanding

gl

The Wall · « **Reply #22 on:** March 11, 2009, 09:09:56 PM »

the rules clearly state chin TO or ABOVE the bar....u do um the hard way...ill be thinkin of how i wanna spend the 100 dollars

interesting that we cant even see if ur chin is getting close to the bar in ur vid....who knows how many "good ones" u did...including the fact ur arms had a good sized angle in them after each rep...lol not going down all the way is the same as not going up all the way

"big guy"

Geo · « **Reply #23 on:** March 11, 2009, 09:14:54 PM »

those 12 you see me doing will be the last pull ups I'll ever do....

I don't like pull ups and I don't like people who do pull ups !

The Wall · « **Reply #24 on:** March 11, 2009, 09:32:02 PM »

lol my apologies, that last post was rude

im gonna do my best to win, if the judges deem my pullups no good so be it

your pullups were fine i was just being an ass
