Nymeria Posted July 27, 2014 Report Share Posted July 27, 2014 Pull-ups* = pull ups, chin ups, pull up negatives, flex hangs, deadhangs, or wherever you are with your pull-up progressions. The world is our playground! And doing pull-ups on horizontal bars or rings is boring. So, the goal is to go out and find new and interesting objects on which to do your pull-up sets and build your grip strength in the process. +1 point for each new and exciting place or object for pull-ups, but you have to describe where you're doing them. +1 more point for each photo or video posted of yourself doing a pull-up somewhere interesting. The winner is the person with the most points at the end, but we could also do weekly winners, if people would like. So, who's in? To get people's creative juices flowing, here's a video of me doing pull-ups by sticking my fingers through the holes on the tread of some playground stairs: 1 Quote Level 30? who the hell knows anymore?

Nymeria Posted July 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2014 Hooray! I'm glad so many people are in! The next time someone whines about wanting to work on pull-ups, but not being able to do so because they don't have a pull-up bar, we can just link this thread. I really hate adding too many rules, but it occurred to me at the playground this morning that I could probably do 1 pull-up on 20 different things, and then try to claim 20 points. But that's lame. It's much cooler to do some full, working sets on the same thing. So, I just did about 20 pull ups in sets of 2-3 off of a ledge in the skate park (video to be posted later). So, basically, the "rule" is: Don't be lame. Great idea! Won't be participating, at least competitively, mainly because there's no one to take photos/videos (insert "forever alone" image) but I'm following the thread and might try playing along sometime. I just prop my camera for videos. Yeah, they don't always turn out very well, but it's not too bad of a way to go. You could join in anyway, since the whole thing is all in good fun.

Nymeria Posted July 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2014 I did today's pull-ups off of a flat ledge at the skate park. It was a bit tricky, since the top landing was wet and slippery. I only got a max of 3/set (grip fry out), and maybe a total of 20. (sorry about the crappy angle on the video. I had to just prop my camera and hope for the best). 4 Quote Level 30? who the hell knows anymore?

Anim07734 Posted July 28, 2014 Report Share Posted July 28, 2014 Well I did pullups on a road sign saturday night while walking between bars and on a tree limb today (at the house I'm trying to buy). I'll have to see if there's anything else I can come up with, but I do most of my workouts out home in the A/C.

Leothil Posted July 29, 2014 Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 I practised hanging from our fire escape today. My grip strength is quite lousy right now, hopefully it'll get better! 6 Quote Level 4 Half-Elf Assassin (that dabbles with the scouts) Tumblr | Blog | Epic quest "There is no such thing as perfection.
