Get To Da Choppa: Pull-up PvP [Aug 13 - Sept 9 ]


Recommended Posts

Yesterday I did a 45 second dead hang. Hoping to be able to do 60 second by the end of the PVP. Also did 2 chin ups from a tree branch while we were out geocaching

First workout after giving some tweaked muscles a break!   *shakes fist at uncooperative muscles*

Just did 3 sets of band assisted - 9, 8, 7.   They all felt pretty strong though! 

Finished with a 40" hold.  Just 76 points on today, but I feel good about the decision to not rush back in to TOTAL failure on these reps.

@Charlie_Quinn Do Dumbbell (or in this case Kb ) rows  count per side, or do both side count as 1 rep? Say I did 8 reps on my left side, and 8 on my right, is that 8 reps total to score or 16 reps?

I did 3x5 yesterday when I got home. I've kind of fallen off the wagon recently but I'm still gonna try and nail down a couple more GtG sets this week before the challenge ends Sunday. :)

Back to the bar today.    Skipping yesterday did wonders for my endurance today.    Did a whole workout, and managed a total of 35 assisted pull ups.

Workout was 5 sets of Pull Ups to failure.   Then 5x5 on Squats, Bench, Roman Chair weighted sit ups.

At the every end of the workout - exhausted AF.  I tested to see if I had regained unassisted pull ups.

 

2!   TWO!  Totally straight bar, palms forward, no band pull ups AFTER the entire 45m workout.   Heck yeah!

 

Makes the pull up total 37 for the day.

First up, well done to everyone who took part in this PvP. You guys are all awesome and I hope this mini challenge has helped some of you improve your pull ups. 

 

Secondly, apologies for falling away and not keeping with the action hero theme. I was hoping to write a bit more story line in the middle and end of this challenge but life has been a little busy and I've struggled to keep up with things. I hope that despite this, you've all enjoyed the competition.

 

Now, on to the winners!

In first place, with a massive 3,220 points:

It's Princess Diana of Themyscira, AKA Wonder Woman, AKA @Elastigirl

Well done!

 

In a very close second place with 3,050 points:

You probably won't be able to see this for a while, but great job on the challenge,  I am sure it will serve you well while you are at OCS.

Thanks @Charlie_Quinn for setting up a fun challenge. Being Wonder Woman and competing against you guys was a great motivator. Congrats @Legionary for a well fought competition, and thanks to the Marines for making you leave on the last day of competition , while I had a chance to put in some more reps:friendly_wink:
