[Munkii]

[Munkii]

[Jaspersharpe]

Just to resurrect the best thread ever........Finally bit the bullet and started doing some work on the fingerboard last night. Took some motivation after a long day at work especially when the board is next to my fridge (full of beer). Proved two things to myself. 1: I'm really really weak. 2: I really need to do something about it.

Anyway, 40 pull ups were involved so you can add them to the total. Expect more if I can as I keep the psyche. The only way is up.

despite my scathing comments about pull ups i succumbed to doing 55 on tuesday. as i am not able to climb as a result of sending my back into spasm by the athletic pursuit of attempting to put my climbing shoes on.

hello every body, I feel terribly self concous but add 3900 from me and 1600 from Laurence. Laurence is feeling very proud as she hasnt done a grande for a long time, she did have to go to the physio straight away mind you. Well done Jasper, must be hard next to the fridge, my fridge doesnt have any beer in it and only some natural yoghourt in it, so its easier. I saw more than a few pull ups being done in wales when I was there but those lads and lasses are a bit bashful I suppose. Bumped into Doylo who I,d like to thank for his bits of film on you tube, sorry I didnt thank you on the spot, some of the stuff is brill and very funny, many thanks as I get pretty bored sometimes(hence the pull ups I guess)Stevie.

[Fiend]

Are those numbers in one go Stevie??

[stevie haston]

fiend, no thats 3 sessions, hardest one was after a climbing day, one was after a bit of bouldering in north wales, Laurences was just a training day but she did 1001 pull ups and some of them were very ugly, lots of kipping, she says to Paul B her core is killing her, shes hoping a few sessions might move her off a long plateux. my core is better as Iam using less core now as I get stronger and can appreciate what Paul B said more now. Cheers Stevie

I'd like to tell her that MY CORE is killing after a few sets of ice cream makers last night (~15 mins). I'm quite willing to perfrom a wife swap but with training Stevie to prove my point and test yours?

[Jaspersharpe]

I would watch that programme.

[GraemeA]

no thats 3 sessions

Are you getting soft in your old age Stevie, time was when you'd have done the million pull ups before breakfast 

[Stubbs]

a few sets of ice cream makers last night (~15 mins).

It's obviously quite difficult to search google for this exercise - do you have a link to a description Paul?

[andy_e]

Does it involve trying to sit still whilst someone wafts fresh ice cream in front of your face?

That's along the lines of what I was picturing, the real deal looks a bit too strenuous.  ???

Nice one, so essentially like doing front levers with the fast forward button held down!

edit: more on topic I did five pullups last night at the wall and ten on sunday at Brimham to try and warm up before it started raining...

[richdraws]

Just do it slowly... don't swing like the guy is there, hold the lock off for a second hold the lever for a second and smile like its piss easy 

[Paul B]

I think its pretty on topic - so stevie, whats it going to be?

[stevie haston]

G.A hows tricks, am very old and weak, but not as old and weak as you.
Kirsty my daughter adds 8 pull ups, shes training for caving, well done birthday girl.
Paul B icecream makers are good, have you done windsreen wipers, or clocks-thats hanging from something by your hands and using your feet like windsreen wipers, or using your feet like an hour pointer, if you combine them in a set of pull ups and have ankle wieghts on you get a fairly nasty excersise. Whats the best numbers on a small metrolious rung for pull ups, without wieght and max wieght, thanks in advance. Stevie
