ffs cant you just take part in a thread properly?

im 12 and i think its lame that u cant juat post sensibly.


damn that bitch slap stung.

im 12, big deal? if i told you i was 20 would you treat me differently?

Munkii, No I wouldn't treat you any differently if you were 20 or 40 or 60. I actually consider what I am posting here as sensible within the context the forum as a whole. Take a bit of time to look around other threads and you will find that from time to time they wander off, miles from their original intention, only to come back again when you least expect it. I found the whole idea of a mass pullupfest amusing and I posted accordingly. One of the beauties of the Internet is that it is open, a bit like stomping off down to the public square and having a shout. You will surely admit that if you were to do that, you would simply have to accept that: while you are at perfect liberty to do so, others would be equally free to: stop to listen, or point and laugh, or ignore you as they see fit.
This thread is not your thread- not because those who don't want to post "sensibly" are nicking it or "ruining" it, but because this is what threads are, long windy things that get snagged and tamgled in all sorts of unexpected (and sometimes fun places).
So in short I have treated your thread the same way as I treat all the other threads on this forum. You can't say fairer than that can you?

Joe, nuff said.

Errrrr. and 100 pull ups makes Grand Total....1643. more or less

[corniceman]

A health warning. Once upon a time I would have added to this total considerably. During the 80s and early 90s I often used to to 600 pull ups an hour and do this 3 or 4 times a week. It was part of the style of training at the time. Haston did it so did every body else frequenting Petes eats in those days(the pull ups bars are still there in the back room.
I have to say I am sure it had no real benefit to my climbing, yes I was quite fit, But now all I have are bone spurs in both elbows and resulting nerve pain and now think what was the god damn point?

[SA Chris]

This is pure genius.

Today I pulled up to the bumper baby (in a long black limousine), so add one for me.

[webbo]

i too spent the late 70s and early 80s doing thousands of pull ups to the extent i would rather stick pins in my eyes than do them.which also would probably have more training effect on my climbing.

[Houdini]

...the corollary being that pull-ups are for old wizened queers...

[Kingy]

Davie G can't do a one arm pullup 

[dave]

Davie G can't do a one arm pullup 

Davie P can't do a one arm pullup either I hope this isn't the start of a new thread.

[webbo]

...the corollary being that pull-ups are for old wizened queers...

thats why I don't do em.

[Houdini]

Exactly. 

Pull-ups are perfect for cultivating Grade A tendonitis too, if you were in the market for some.

[JWells]

actually, I saw Davie G at the arch the other night, and he CAN do a one arm pullup, but only just - its his project while in england apparently

[webbo]

Exactly.

no i've grown some of my own.

[stevie haston]

hello Munkii, take no notice of what some people say. I didnt want to enter this thread because some idiots are so anti pull ups, anyway good luck and keep doing your pull ups and climbing and being motivated to do things. Pull ups like many exor simply good luck with your pull ups, ersizes will give you tendinitis, so when doing large numbers its good to vary the angle of the hand this will stop the same bit of tendon sheath from inflaming. For the gainsayers, tell Paxi that pull ups are bad for you he will laugh, tell Chabot he will laugh, tell robin erbesfield she will laugh, tell Ramon, I think thats more than 30 international titles between them, so who is wrong. If you think they are not boulderers you are wrong Patxi might be the best boulderer in the world, he is just not interested. I dont think I have ever met a 8b boulderer who cant do a one arm  by the way, they may pretend to but thats up to them. Anyway Munkii I am old, have an inflamed elbow, got a sore finger and probably average a thousand to  two thousand a week. Good luck and I wish you good climbing or bouldering. My climbing partner also sends her regards and she did 600 tonight after working an 8B+, so its obviously doing her no good whatso ever, cheers from Stevie. 

[nik at work]

Agree with Stevie.
And would just like to add....
Who gives a fuck if it is good for climbing or not? It's just an aim, a target. It has no more or less point than climbing a route, a boulder problem, training to climb a boulder problem, sitting on an internet forun knobbing your life away or any other climbing related activity. In fact is has no less point than 99.9999% of anything humans waste their mostly fucking pointless lives doing. It's no worse than train-spotting, stamp collecting, judo, tennis, watching mindless telly. And by the same token it's no better. It's just another pointless thing to do. You don't want to join in, then don't. Go and talk about training, or protein supplements, or techno,or anything else you want. Somebody will probably listen, and join in and before you know it you'll have a national organisation with affiliate members and self-help groups where you can discuss your childhood angst and release your inner demons. If you don't want to play our game take your football and fuck off, don't act like the shitty spoilt kid at junior school that everybody hated. Trying to spoil our entertainment, go and find a lonely corner of the playground and play marbles or conkers, BY YOUR SELF. Fucking snobbery, pure and simple.
Munkii this thread is genius, rock on.

(P.S. Add 15 to the count, sorry about the swearies)

I think you're meant to take it easy when doing active rest.

[Johnny Brown]

I can't believe this is actually happening. Priceless.

I'll go and do a couple just to encourage it.

[nik at work]

That's the spirit.

[GCW]

Agree  rant etc swearies)

Ooh, hark at you.

[lagerstarfish]

Another 30 from me and 4 from Lagers Jr.

What's the total so far? Not including Joe Picalli's (if that's his real name), of course, because he thinks that hiding behind the anonymity of the interweb means he can..... well, do whatever it was he was doing back there.

GCW, is that a pic on Ben Heason in drag?

[Munkii]

You don't want to join in, then don't

yes! someone else who can see where im coming from! it looks so much better coming from someone else.

Munkii this thread is genius, rock on.

[webbo]

so in order to prove i'm not unresposive to radical new training methods.i did one and it made my elbow hurt but hell it was worth it just to be at one with you guys.

[nik at work]

Come join the cult....
 

[Jaspersharpe]

Come join the cult....

[Kingy]
