It’s probably just a strength issue as Harriet said. At this point I don’t think negatives are useful anymore though, instead I’d go for full pull-ups and supplement with bent arm hangs for time where you really focus on staying nice and high and keeping your shoulders down. 1 Quote Link to comment

Have you taken a video of yourself doing pull ups and rows? Looking at the video might help you see the form issue. And posting here, people could probably help you. You were able to do some many negatives in the PVP, way more than I ever could, I just don't think it is very likely a strength issue. Form points to keep in mind; Before you do the pull ups do a warm up of just practicing the movement of pulling your arms down, practicing the movement of pulling them down while keeping the correct form Before you start the movement,pull your shoulders down keep your shoulders down keep your elbows in tight to your body activate your whole body, use your core squeeze your legs together- this will help you keep a tight body 2 Quote Wisdom 22.5 Dexterity 13 Charisma 15 Strength 21 Constitution-13 "Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind' Luke 10; 27 Link to comment

I also recommend a TRX-like setup (you can buy off brand TRX type things here for peanuts - I bought one that literally clips to the top of a door). It's really easy to modify the difficulty. I personally bounce between the TRX and using a bar setup in a rack. Also... a small after thought... if you feel weak at the top portion of the row (ie: touching chest to table/bar), try pulling more aggressively so you can ride a bit of momentum... 2 Quote Neutral Gargoyle Warrior with a dash of Ranger/Monk/Adventurer.

(If you have access to a smith, that's where I prefer to see the reverse row progressions.) Used to do face pulls when I did gym workouts. Forgot all about them now when I'm mostly doing bodyweight stuff at home. But I do have some resistance bands that I could use to incorporate the face pulls in my routine again. Thanks for the suggestion I went to a gym the other day just to play around, and tried inverted rows in a smith machine for the first time. It was awesome!

Tobbe Posted February 5, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2019 Challenge over. Sorry I dropped the ball on updating But I did continue with working towards some of the goals. So I'll write a small summary/status report below. Nutrition For three to seven days: Eat only Kitchari all day Eat until you're full Eat whenever you feel hungry Drink only water, water+lime+salt, or water+kitchari spices I did this for five days (or perhaps a little more). Great success! Had some nice insights from doing this too. Might even do it again sometime Wasn't as difficult as I thought it would be to go without all the sweets. I think a big part of that was because I knew it was just a few short days. After the mono-diet Drink protein smoothie at least three times per week I managed to uphold this for one week. Then stopped, and began skipping meals again to eat sweet things instead Big fail Fitness Practice jump rope at least twice every week No workouts on consecutive days Try to beat Tyrannosaurus Flex 11th or 12th of January. Keep trying every Friday or Saturday until he is conquered I did practice jump rope until I beat Tyrannosaurus Flex, which I did on my first try! So I leveled up to bodyweight 5, and haven't missed a single workout! And haven't done any workouts on consecutive days! Level Up Your Life Do one task from the TODO 2019 PvP every week Still doing this, and doing good enough with it too -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- All in all more green than red. So I'm calling this challenge a success Going to set up a new challenge thread, but that challenge will be totally different from this and previous challenges! Can't wait to get started! *So excited* 3 Quote Challenge 21 - Tobbe Goes Running in the Dark | Challenge 20 - Tobbe Gets Ready for CNF | Challenge 19 - Tobbe has Nutrition and Fitness Goals | Challenge 18 - Tobbe is like Jace | Challenge 17 - Tobbe Keeps a Journal | Challenge 16 - Tobbe Builds an E-commerce Site | Challenge 15 - Tobbe and the Journey | Challenge 14 - Tobbe Goes to Sleep | Challenge 13 - Tobbe Kills Zombies | PvP - DailyDare NerdFitness Edition | Challenge 12 - Tobbe tries not to do all the things | Challenge 11 - Tobbe Becomes a Yogi in South East Asia | Challenge 10 - Tobbe Becomes a Yogi | Challenge 9 - Tobbe Gets Productive | PVP - The Last Darebender | Challenge 8 - Tobbe's 100 days of food freedom (part 2) | Challenge 7 - Tobbe's 100 days of food freedom (part 1) | Challenge 6 - Tobbe becomes a Recovery Warrior | Challenge 5 - Tobbe fights the dinosaur | Challenge 4 - Tobbe catches up and pleases his wife | PVP - Rise above the pull-up bar | Challenge 3 - Tobbe eats like a ... | Mini challenge - Students gonna ranger | Challenge 2 - The Necessities | Challenge 1 - Let's get this challenge thing going | The Intuitive Eating Support Group | TODO 2019 PvP | Battle Log (>>) Link to comment
