2015 AusBB Pullup competition

[spartacus]

yes, you don't want to much fat on body for this test, not to mention added weights.

After my go tomorrow, I am going to start sets and reps with weight to see if it makes much of a difference. 2015 for me is 15.

Gonna have another crack in a couple of days, hoping for 17

 

[spartacus]

I did 25 under hand 45 deg grip last week. 3 year pb. Have only done more than that when I was about 70kg

 

[spartacus]

excellent, you should post clips. I will make list for chinups.

 

[spartacus]

but both chins and pullups have to be full reps to count.

 

[spartacus]

today I did 13 reps, but some reps not good enough so will not count.

I thought I would try and get some momentum, but I cut few reps slightly short.

If I had stuck to old style, might of got 12.

next years comp will have rule that must be slight pause at bottom to count each rep.

After a few weeks doing weighted pull-ups got 17 at bodyweight this morning although no video. Estimate bodyweight around 91 atm.

 

[spartacus]

ok, next time film it, hopefully 18 reps.

 

[jzpowahz]

Yeah it was a spur fe moment thing
Will do next time.

When you feel totally gone, squeeze your grip/the bar as HARD as you can, trying to break the bar, and squeeze your bum cheeks like someones about to kick you up the arse.
This will help you get out one or two more reps. try it m8!

 

[spartacus]

ok, thanks Taurus, will have a another max go in three weeks

You guys find using a weight belt changes the dynamics of your pull up heaps? Like the centre of gravity feels off in the hollow man braced position. The only option is to sort of tilt forward to compensate which externally rotates the shoulders to an even greater degree which makes my elbows start to hurt after a couple of reps. I don't know, my technique might be way off the mark here lol.

 

[Repacked]

I don't really notice much difference...

 

[showdownhero]

Couldn't break the 15 barrier this morning gonna incorporate some weighted pulls into my routine from next week. Hopefully that will help

 

[spartacus]

next time, you have all year.
