So, I hear some people are interested in participating in the TWENTY PULL-UPS TRAINING CHALLENGE: http://twentypullups.com/the-training-program/ How about some friendly trash-talking slash encouragement slash pull-up progress reports in the form of this PVP? It will run a full 8 weeks from Sept. 14th through Nov. 9th, as if you are starting like me, with between 0-2 pull-ups, there is Week -2 and Week -1 to run before you graduate to the Big Guns program. If you do not make the required reps for your prescribed workout, go back to the previous workout and repeat that before attempting the workout whose reps you could not complete. You do not have to follow this program if you have another program you'd like to follow. You may work on chin-ups instead of pull-ups if you like. Bar pull-ups, rings pull-ups, towel grip pull-ups, finger hang pull-ups are all acceptable options. Strict is preferred, but if you are really interested in increasing your kipping pull-up reps and want to use this group as a way to help you do so, please feel free. I just ask that everyone be consistent in the type of UP you are reporting -- ie if you start with strict bar pull-ups, please continue to report back on your max reps of strict bar pull-ups. You are obviously not limited in working on other kinds of UPs and they may even have carry-over to your goal max reps, but for the sake of reporting, let's just keep it to whatever type you started with. Maybe, through the magic of following a program and keeping each other accountable, we can see some rep increases on this always enjoyable, never-ever frustrating exercise.
