I think more than 2 workouts/week you have to start to control the intensity of the training (talking in terms of pull ups workouts).I've been banging them out every day and I notice that I'm actually getting worse at them. Should I lower the intensity if I do them every day?

I might have to rethink those longer 100 and 200 for time strategies. But great job. Looked good to me.Wow we have a new thread! Didn't know there is a limit of pages.
Anyway here we are again to write more and more about records and personal bests.
Extremist, I upload a video of today's training in which have achieved 100 reps under 6'. Take a look and let's see if the mark of 5'57" can be on that list.

Extremist, if we are updating the chart, I believe EPC gave me the nod at 46 BW reps. I also did 22 reps with a 45 lb plate a couple of months ago. Check them out and let me know your thoughts. And thanks for helping get this second thread going. Most appreciated.

For the new thread, here's a recent video of 45 pull-ups in a row. (I unfortunately can't imbed, but I've pasted the link below.) How does it look? Thanks for updating, E_P_C, Extremist.

my 1RM is 50-55kg and I still have no idea how to program and periodize lol
working sets currently with 25-30kg for 4-7 reps
feels like too low volume to progress (even 4-5 sets) but when I try to do more I just feel destroyed

So with a workout like that, I'd end up doing over 100 reps, with most of them weighted. I can only do a workout like that at most once a week, perhaps once every two week and a half, even though I do pull ups twice a week. On other days I might do 100 reps with a 40 lb pack for time, or try for 5 sets of 10 reps with a 40 lb pack (no dropping from bar), or whatever else seems exciting.my 1RM is 50-55kg and I still have no idea how to program and periodize lol

Mark, looks good. Have you considered getting or using some type of step so that you can step up to your backyard pull up bar (versus jumping up to the bar)? I think you'd be able to do more weighted pull ups on a sturdy bar like that versus a door frame pull up bar. Regardless, nice 16.Extremist can you add this?

How many strict form chest to bar pull ups can people do? I read in Men's Health that 25 strict form chest to bar pull ups is considered elite. I haven't done much chest to bar, but I might see what I've got later this week and post a video. Anyone else want to see if they can crack the 25? Strict form would be chest to bar, full arm lock out on way down, no kipping, legs straight or light knee bend (like GWR attempts), and no bending at waist.

Rep #4 might honestly not count for a competition. The rest seemed OK to me on slow mo; but others will have to judge. Regardless, I was pretty pumped that the strength was there. I actually did the attempt a few weeks ago while riding the wave of Guinness training for the +40 and 60. Haha. Having been on vacation, I may need a little time to get back there.

Prof! Ha! Good to ride that wave of GWR attempts. I thought you just did that BW set, and was like damn, he's back in shape quick! Though I'm sure you're not far from top shape. It comes back pretty quick.
Nice work on the 25 chest to bar. I'll probably see where I'm at with these. Good call on your end to work on these, as it should hopefully help for later reps in a max set to have that high chin above bar strength.
And good observation about max in a minute BW versus weighted. Dropping from the bar on weighted max reps in a minute seems to be much more functional than BW max reps in a minute. Still much to learn and fine tune.

Death is impossible for us to fathom: it is so immense, so frightening, that we will do almost anything to avoid thinking about it. Society is organized to make death invisible, to keep it several steps removed. That distance may seem necessary for our comfort, but it comes with a terrible price: the illusion of limitless time, and a consequent lack of seriousness about daily life. We are running away from the one reality that faces us all.

Extremist and Profpullups, I would like to know your opinion about my video. Have to add I'm working on fixing the legs movement and day by day I'm improving. I'm trying to get the point where no one can doubt about the legit of pullups (quite difficult I know, specially for that experts who can't do 5 pullups).

Also, don't sweat the internet trolls who can't do 5 legit pull ups but criticize everyone else. I've just been using the Guinness World Record standard for pull ups, and sleeping pretty well at night about it. Your pull ups for that 100 looked to satisfy that standard, so keep up the good work.

The only pullup record in the new GWR book is for the 24 hours pullup record and it's not even up to date.

And by the way, your time is great. I noticed you barely missed #92, and had to do it again, which probably cost you a good 6-8 seconds. So you're probably below 5:50 with perfect execution.
