Jarric Posted November 27, 2018 Report Share Posted November 27, 2018 2 hours ago, Tobbe said: Is it really that much easier to do a chin-up compared to a pull-up? I'll try chin-ups next time! 2 hours ago, jonfirestar said: I can't actually do chin ups at all but I can do pull ups (that's a mobility issue in one of my arms) but you really should try different grip stances and grip widths. It feels like a much stronger stance when I'm using a neutral grip compared to an overhand grip, for instance. So it is certainly worth trying to see if you are able to get some. Just beware you can get really good at doing them one way and still not be able to do them another. That is because there is a skill element with pull ups as well as the strength element. I always train pullups and never chinups, and I think because of that I find them both about the same difficulty. 2 hours ago, Rhovaniel said: 2 hours ago, Rhovaniel said: @Charlie_QuinnY Now, part of me is inclined to say no, machines don't count (we ARE machines!).

You only just weigh more than me I'm also going to gently point out that I was able to do pullups when I was 110kg too. I find it quite amusing to do pull ups when I'm at the gym because I don't look like someone who should be able to do them.

Elastigirl Posted November 27, 2018 Report Share Posted November 27, 2018 Did 3 30 second holds for 3 points. Tomorrow I'm hoping to get some actual pull up points on the board. I'm trying to keep the pull ups to days I'm doing shoulder training, and give my body actual rests. Just noticed it's actually 1 pt, for every 10 seconds. That means I earned 9 points! 1 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

If your elbows start feeling sore, or your shoulder is sore more than just DOMS, back off. I'd say listen to your body. If you do it every day, I'd do it in short burst, a few at a time, always under your max limit. Or If you do it every day, do bigger sets and go closer to your max. When I was going for my first pull up, doing it Grease the Groove style (small sets throughout the day) were what worked best. I did negatives, and half pulls, and standing on a chair reps. I said I was going to do them every other day, but I feel the pull (ha) to do them more GTG style, so I may do them more frequently. 1 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

TimovieMan Posted November 27, 2018 Report Share Posted November 27, 2018 I tried to do a jumping chin-up. Only got to my nose. No points. Then I tried a negative pull-up. Immediately dropped 10-15 cm. No points. Then I tried a negative pull-up with neutral grip. Immediately dropped 10-15 cm as well. Again, no points. Then I tried a negative chin-up and that worked! I don't think I would have been able to maintain a flex arm hold for long, so I didn't try for more than the two-three seconds I needed at the top of the chin-up before starting the negative. I finished the negative chin-up with 20 seconds of deadhang. That's 12 points! I then went for the other grips, 40 seconds of wide overhand grip and 30 seconds of neutral grip. That's another 7 points. Will probably try again before going to bed. 5 Quote TimovieMan: funnier than you think he is; not as funny as he thinks he is...

WhiteGhost Posted November 28, 2018 Report Share Posted November 28, 2018 Did my pull workout this morning which included multiple sets of various kinds of pullups (L-Sit, Archer, Commando, Behind the Head, etc.) but I only counted the ones that involved pulling from a straight arm hang position to a chin above the bar position. I don't know if I am going to get any more pullups again until week 3, though.

Rhovaniel Posted November 28, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2018 I'm loving that we're on the second page already! Anyway, regarding exercises. I'll allow machine assisted, because I did open that to the floor and the general consensus seems to be yes for that. So a machine assisted rep earns 10 points. And a negative or assisted chin up is fine. Each one will also earn 10 points. However, these will be the only amendments made, because one of the major things I had in mind with this challenge was simplicity and clear criteria for what counts and what doesn't. It's why I put this line into my original post: On 11/26/2018 at 9:42 PM, Rhovaniel said: - For the sake of simplicity and to avoid confusion, ONLY THESE EXERCISES COUNT as a 10 point/rep: It has nothing to do with the validity of any other exercises proposed, just that I don't want what counts to be changing throughout the challenge.

High volume periodization FTW. Mostly assisted pullups for volume but 5 sets of full pullups for strength too. Rather like @WhiteGhost I'm only doing one big pull workout a week so this is the vast majority of the points I'll get until next Wednesday.

That usually only happens after 50 seconds. Still finished all my sets, and I'm relatively DOMS free today. Will probably be worse tomorrow.
