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."
- Rick Hansen
Week 2 - Day 2
Ok.. last was difficult
Mon 8th Feb 2010
Started today:
Week -1, Day 1, 1 pull-up column
1,1,1,1-ve,1,1-ve
w6 day2, 1st failed workout
Todays sets were: 8-9-10-11-12
I did: 8-9-10-11-10+(-2)
I failed to do the last set, only got 10 on it and finished the last two reps as negatives..
It will be interesting to see if I can do the first set of 13 in the next workout.. considering my last max was 10 pullups after week 3.
Week 6 day 1
5-5-6-6-7-8-9 => 46
3 mins of rest before the last set, and still the last two reps were really hard ones.
Week 3, Day 2.
Just once 9,7,8,7,10 with 90 secs rest between sets. Hugo did a series too.
Good 5 mile paddle with Al yesterday in C2, then pool coaching session.
Coached another 2 hr pool session tonight just before the pull-ups.
Tired now.

Week 5 day 3
5-6-8-9-10 => 38
Week 5 finished!
Confused
Ok, I am confused. Two Questions?
1. Do I alternate days for sets? I would guess that is so?
2. On Day 1, Week 1, I am supposed to do five sets. In set 1, column, 3-5, do I do 3-5 pullups twice and that is one set? Then Set 2 would be 1 at 3-5 pullups and set 5 is three x 3-5 Pullups?
3. Given that each column has a span of 3 to four from low to high, do I start with lowest or inbetween?
Any clarification would be helpful.
Week 2; Day 2
Completed all 5 sets.
4+4+3+4+6=21
0 wide grip on gravitron @ 60lb (did not attempt)
40 mins.~ 2.25mi~top speed 6.0mi
