Einar Posted June 2, 2015 Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 Pull ups aren't part of my challenge but they are in my work out plan. Currently I can't do any without assistance but I've been working on them using resistance bands, as my numbers get higher I'll start lowering the assistance working up to my first unassisted pull up in 10 years or so. 3 Quote A true warrior does not train tirelessly to fight, or to kill.

Everyone who can manage at least one pullup should go post on the Pullup Leaderboard! Videos encouraged! And finally, I'm in! Male, 32, 6'4" 240(ish) lbs 9 pullups. I'm on no strict program, but I try to do at least a few pullups everyday....And finally here is my video. Doing pullups in a door frame at 6'4" is no joke. I feel ridiculous! 2 Quote Link to comment

Eventually I wan't to move to 20, then 30 bodyweight pull-ups, before moving on to muscle-ups and finally one arm pull-ups.

Yeah, I'm one of those guys who can do 20+ pull ups and 0 muscle ups. I"m sure its 100% technique and with a lesson, I could do them.
