The 50 Pull-Up Challenge

[southernsoftie]

Due to public demand (are you lot mental?!), I've put together a 50 Pull-Up Challenge for you. However, as it's an Excel file, it won't attach, so if you want it, PM me your e-mail addresses and I'll fire it over.

For form, see this link:

I can't even do 1 pull up

I'll stick to the push up challenge for now

If you're in OHW's position on this one, try doing weeks 1-2 using negative pull-ups first (see video link below - keep to the overhand grip as demonstrated in the first video, this just demonstrates the principle of a -ve pull up).

Once done, do the initial test for a proper one - you should by now be able to knock out a couple at least.

I havent got a pull-up bar.

I could rob some scaffolding poles and put them up outside my house - will have to ask my mum first.

Initial Test: 11

Al, use whatever's to hand: tree branches, goal posts, kids' climbing frames...when I was addicted to these I would do them on the doorframe of the office loo cubicle! A quick 10 each time I had to spend a penny (the grip can hurt your hands though!)

Haha, no but the lamp post has the horizonal pit on the top where the light is attatched.

Good stuff JD! Keep us posted on your progress. I'm gonna work it like this: press-ups; sit-ups (giving your arms a break); pull-ups! Bring it on
