Youtube Challenge
There is a new challenge for those who have access to a camcorder. Film yourself completing the challenge by doing (at least) twenty pull-ups/chin-ups and share the video through Youtube. (You should also mention your username in the video's info.) Contact me with the link and I'll add you to the Youtube-section of the Hall of Fame.
What would be a better way to motivate those still trying to complete the Twenty Pull-ups Challenge?
The Twenty Pull-ups Challenge
Did the hundred? Looking for more challenges? Or do you just want to be in good shape? The Twenty Pull-ups Challenge is here for you. Follow this program you'll be on your way to better physique.
Maybe you can already do 10 pull-ups. A lot of people can barely manage 3 pull-ups. Do you think you can never do 20 pull-ups? Give this program a try and you'll discover that it is possible.
"The goal you set must be challenging. At the same time, it should be realistic and attainable, not impossible to reach. It should be challenging enough to make you stretch, but not so far that you break."

Round 2: W5 D2
Reps: 8,7,8,7,8

week 3 day 2
///
Round 2: W5 D1
Reps: 4,4,5,5,6,6,7
Weight:81.1 Kg/180ibs
So here we are again at week 5 column 1.
I didnt have to struggle at all except for thelast rep of the last set probably. Im starting to get problems with callus and they kinda hurt while doing chins. Need to look for a solution. Not much else to say. Hope to complete at least week 5 with all reps.
Week -2
25-07-10: 92 kg, supino, 5 negatives.
End of first Cycle - Maxtest
Reps:11
Weight:80,6 Kg/179ibs
The first cycle increased my maximum by exactly 3 reps. This is not much, but it could be worse. My genes are definitely not the best, so I know not to expect too fast progress.
The coming 4 weeks ill redo W5&6 two more times (first column 1 and depending on the outcome column 2 after that). If I dont come close to 15 reps, Ill probably stop the program.
At least, Im going to do everything possible to maximize the outcome of this program for the next 4 weeks.
Second week done
Day1 8-7-6-7-8
Day2 8-7-7-6-10
Day3 10-8-7-6-9
Day 2 turned out hardest due to shorter rests so I had to take full two minutes before last 10 reps.
Day 3 I was a little ahead of time and accidentally did day 3 of week 3. I was positively surprised after I realized it.
I decided to make a bet with my brother who could make most pull-ups after week 6. Me training with this program and he any which way.
Week -1 day 2
had to do 2nd last set, 2nd last rep very slow.
