Congrats!As for me, my final is still 0. As stated in my final update, it felt pretty awesome to get myself above the bar yesterday, but in order to do it I had to start with my elbows ever-so-slightly bent. I'm working with a trainer friend to get past that straight-arm hurdle and am going to continue training after the challenge ends. I WILL be doing reps by 2013!!!So perhaps my final is .90? Ha, not enough to WIN, but I still feel like a winner. That's the point, right? Anyhow, thanks for all the inspiration. Y'all are badasses. BADASSES!

guest439437484421 Posted November 6, 2012 Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 So i was inspired by this thread a couple of weeks ago. On my non-deadlift days after i'm done with all my other lifts i go and grab the pullup bars. I'm way too heavy and too weak (i weigh 430lbs) to be able to do one right now, but i know it's helping build up hand strength and i actually had about half an inch of upward moment last night when before there was none, so I am progressing. So thank you everyone for the inspiration, and i'll be sure to keep track of my progress.

Wolverine Posted November 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 Still waiting for a lot of max numbers, but the original post has been updated with what I do have.For percentage growth, you just can't beat those of us who started at zero. My final of 2 is over a bazillion % growth!And this is why we're split into groups based on initial numbers. So i was inspired by this thread a couple of weeks ago.

If you're doing that at 430, you're a stronger man than I'll ever be! How many people here could get that high if they added weight to that point? I might be able lift that far at 200, but I don't think I could even hold the bar without my feet on the floor at 300!

Draco Posted November 7, 2012 Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 Thirster, just to prove it to myself I actually tested to see what a 300 lb hang would feel like - Right now I'm just over 150, so I figured a one arm hang would be the effect of 300 on two hands. Just holding on with my feet off the ground for two seconds BURNED. Like crazy burned - hanging with one arm was easily worse than full two-arm pull-ups. I can see what you meant about the hand strength though! It's officially confirmed - you're stronger than I am on pull-ups, easy.

1Super_Human Posted February 22, 2013 Report Share Posted February 22, 2013 seeing a lot of assassins here, might as well throw in some Ranger Rep! throw me in the 15+ category, but do have to tell my actual max? there's talk of targets and a good ranger never reveals all his assets right away, right? but lets just say i want my new max to be (and this is REALLY optimistic) 30 functional reps Quote LVL 1 Human Ranger-- aspect of Wolf and LeopardSTR: 3 STA: 2 CON: 3 DEX: 2 WIS: 1 CHA: 4 “Therefore I will be unto them as a lion: as a leopard by the way will I observe them: / I will meet them as a bear that is bereaved of her whelps, and will rend the caul of their heart, and there will I devour them like a lion: the wild beast shall tear them.†fitocracy-- https://www.fitocracy.com/profile/TheBeliever twitter-- @1Super_Human Link to comment
