mzmtg Posted March 15, 2014 Report Share Posted March 15, 2014 Inspired by Steve, I'm embarking on the 60-day PLP challenge. Since I can't quite knock out 10 pullups regularly, I'm starting at 1 rep for each exercise (sort of, see below). I actually started yesterday, 3/14, so today is Day 2. Yesterday I did: 44 pullups (This is part of my regular weekly program, I did 8 sets: 9 reps, 8, 6, 6, 5, 4, 3, and 3)1 pushup1 reverse lunge Today I did:2 pullups2 pushups2 reverse lunges I have access to plenty of equipment for pullup grip variations on my regular gym days. On weekends, working out at home, the back porch is the best I've got, but it works: Quote That time I did 1,998 pull ups"Take care of your meat wagon!" - Joe Rogan Link to comment

Guzzi Posted March 16, 2014 Report Share Posted March 16, 2014 I think you should actually get bonus points for the "porch pull-ups". That does not look like an easy grip.... Quote Make Life Rue The Day Turning back the clock Recipe book 14 Life is far too short to take seriously Link to comment

Guzzi Posted March 19, 2014 Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 Nice! What point do you think it's going to start getting "interesting"? Quote Make Life Rue The Day Turning back the clock Recipe book 14 Life is far too short to take seriously Link to comment
mzmtg Posted March 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 Nice! What point do you think it's going to start getting "interesting"? Probably mid-way through, depending on how many sets I break the work into. Quote That time I did 1,998 pull ups"Take care of your meat wagon!" - Joe Rogan Link to comment
mzmtg Posted March 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 7 pull ups7 push ups7 reverse lunges Done for today. 1 Quote That time I did 1,998 pull ups"Take care of your meat wagon!" - Joe Rogan Link to comment
mzmtg Posted March 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2014 8 pull ups8 wide push ups8 lunges It looks like 8 pull ups is about the limit of my abilities straight out of the house in the morning with no warm up. The first 6 came easy, but 7 & 8 were a struggle. The porch pull ups are easier now thanks to some pieces of webbing and my trusty multi-purpose 36" pipe: Quote That time I did 1,998 pull ups"Take care of your meat wagon!" - Joe Rogan Link to comment
Guzzi Posted March 21, 2014 Report Share Posted March 21, 2014 Nice! MacGyver would be proud Does this mean you're going to split it up into sets of 8, or go for a warm up? Quote Make Life Rue The Day Turning back the clock Recipe book 14 Life is far too short to take seriously Link to comment
mzmtg Posted March 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2014 Does this mean you're going to split it up into sets of 8, or go for a warm up? One of my goals in all this is to work up to doing sets of 20 pullups. I’ve hit 9 and 10 consecutively in the recent past. My plan is to go to failure on each set as necessary every day going forward. Warming up a little will help. Nice!

mzmtg Posted March 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2014 Dear God man, normal push-ups just not hard enough? None of them are hard when I'm only doing 10. Maybe clapping push ups are (I've never done them). I'll do those tomorrow. Quote That time I did 1,998 pull ups"Take care of your meat wagon!" - Joe Rogan Link to comment
