Alright, pull up junkies. The challenge is on. Can anyone do pull ups to the Moby song Flower, AKA "Bring Sally Up"? Or more specifically, can anyone do a pull up every time the song says "Bring Sally Up", then rest in a deadhang at the bottom? The song is 3:26 long, and "Bring Sally Up" is said 30 times. I could only get through 16 pull ups and about 1:43 before peeling off the bar. Below is the video. Mark Cunanan? EPC? Extremist? Tiny Wrist? Prof Pull Ups? Fitman? Iraklis? Fortress? Boston Rockets? Anyone else out there? Give it a go and see how long you can go. Rules are no one arm dead hangs, always have to keep both hands on the bar. Pull ups are strict form, no breaking at the waist, full lockout on deadhang, and chin clearly above bar on ascent. Legs can be bent or hang loose. The challenge ends once you peel off the bar. Game on!!!

My max is about 1:45 for a two handed deadhang, so I wasn't far off it with my Bring Sally Up attempt. Nice job, Mark. The standard has been set! Anyone else want to see where they are at?21 reps:

Bar dip to push up half pyramid:
100 push ups as one set:
Sally Pull Up Challenge in reverse (This was completed before bed, maybe my next attempt will be better when I am fresh)
I only made it to 2 minutes and 8 seconds!

These kind of challenges, as the one that meremortal says, are extremely curious because the only in common with pull ups is the use of the same bar. I mean, in the meremortal's challenge the key is the static position above the bar, the useless point for everyone who do pull ups. Think about it, the pull up movement, when you are down you try to do a big impulse until you reach the bar, point where you arrive thanks to that "impulse" and when you apply "less" power because it's just question of achieving the chin and that's all.
Anyway it's an impressive challenge where grip strength is fundamental.
Today I start doing some weighted pull ups (will start with only 10 kg!) for reps.

Mark you're the King of endurance; I think if anyone can beat the challenge it's you.

Hi guys,
I stopped working out for a couple of months because I stupidly sliced my hand on a sardine can and got 8 stitches, but now I'm back.
I have less time to work out these days, but my recent workout is to do 100 150%+ bodyweight pullups in 20 minutes. Caveat: I weigh about 145 lbs. I've been using a 20 lb weighted vest, and bumper plates of 45 lbs + 10 lbs. It's quite a good workout. I do 8 upfront + 2 every however many seconds it takes to get to exactly 20 mins. Using the 150% b/w metric (which admittedly gives small guys like me an advantage), I wonder if this is a good time.
Only downside is that doing this many weighted ones so frequently (2-3 times / week) is probably not good for my lower back, because of the pull of the plates. I will look into getting a heavier weighted vest. It may look even more suicide-bomber-y than my current one, but probably worth it.
fitman84, funny that you got to 5:50 on 100 pull ups for time - my best time (back when i was doing it) was exactly 1 sec longer! (I'm sure you've improved your time even more since then).

Extremist, I think you are running this 2nd thread, and I believe you have been modifying the leaderboard on the 1st page. It would be great if I go under the "100 for time" section - I did 5:51 a while ago:
youtu.be/2EV1AbZcOo8
I remember reading that cooperrun did 5:45, and fitman84 5:50 (those don't show up either on the 1st page, by the way). But it looks like the page keeps a few top times vs just the best.
Thanks.

The other day I tried some sets with 10kg, the first one of 20 reps, nothing important.I think about it and it really has no sense to practice them with my injury experience and probably would be better to focus on BW and improve these.

fitman84, funny that you got to 5:50 on 100 pull ups for time - my best time (back when i was doing it) was exactly 1 sec longer! (I'm sure you've improved your time even more since then).

David uploaded some videos in his instagram doing pull up +115kg, but the truth is that the form wouldn't have been valid for Guinness guideline.
Anyway, competition (clean and respectful) is always nice!

Srs question. If I'm a lightweight Asian (130-135lbs) guy who can do 152.6% BW for 4 reps, do I qualify lol. Btw, 150% BW means adding 50% BW right?
