willpeavy Posted December 15, 2005 Author Share Posted December 15, 2005 Awesome, Will! How many do you do in a row and how long are your breaks? Do you warm up before you start the 60min count? Last night I was doing 1 set of 5 reps every two minutes (which adds up to 150 if I stayed tightly on schedule). I had to slow down a little towards the end which is why I came up 10 short of 150 The first 15-20 reps are pretty easy, and those are my warmup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you can probably guess I'm addicted to doing them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Posted December 18, 2005 Share Posted December 18, 2005 Will, concerning record chinup performances, these links might interest you. In the first that guy did over 200 nonstop in his 60's. http://www.aafla.org/SportsLibrary/IGH/IGH0101/IGH0101f.pdfhttp://www128.pair.com/r3d4k7/Chinups.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the one finger on one arm chins are the most impressive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willpeavy Posted December 18, 2005 Author Share Posted December 18, 2005 I've been doing a bunch of pushups (PP2, bowling ball, fingertips), one leg squats, and bowling ball situps for the past 3 days. I haven't bothered counting with counting reps on these exercises. I plan to try for max reps/hr on pullups again tomorrow (Monday) night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willpeavy Posted December 21, 2005 Author Share Posted December 21, 2005 Great!Pull ups are considerably harder than chin ups!Awesome! Pullups used to be a lot harder for me too. But pullups and chins have been equally as challenging for me lately. I've noticed some growth rencently in my Brachioradialis and I think that might be why Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willpeavy Posted December 22, 2005 Author Share Posted December 22, 2005 I just found this link - http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2005/12/09/NBGJDG1ELV1.DTL It looks like the current Guiness world record is 644 pullups in one hour. I'm not sure if they require overhand or underhand grip for their record Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willpeavy Posted December 23, 2005 Author Share Posted December 23, 2005 Dec 22 did 150 chinups in 60 minutes I stayed right on time and did exactly 5 reps every 2 minutes after I crack 150 pullups/hr I'll switch to aiming for 3 reps every minute (total 180 reps per hour) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willpeavy Posted December 26, 2005 Author Share Posted December 26, 2005 pushups and one leg squats today I'm aiming for 150 pullups/hr tomorrow (Dec 26) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willpeavy Posted December 28, 2005 Author Share Posted December 28, 2005 Feb 27 Went for a round of max reps of pullups in an hour tonight. I decided to start out with a set til failure, then to aim for 5 reps every 2 minutes after that. In my first set til failure I completed 24 reps. On my 24th rep I felt a sharp pain in my right bicep, so I stopped. I'm hoping I didn't tear it. This is frustrating because I've been progressing well at max pullups and chinups per hour recently. I'll see how it feels tomorrow. It hurt a lot when I was doing the rep, but just feels kind of weak/numb now (it only happened a few minutes ago) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 So in hitting 24 straight did you just primarily do 5 rep sets? I remember a while ago you did 18 I think. Since then were you just doing 5 rep sets? Sorry to hear about the bicep. If there was a sharp pain and now numbness I'd recommend a minimum of 2 weeks of rest. Then see how it feels at that point. You'll probably need longer than 2 weeks of rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willpeavy Posted December 29, 2005 Author Share Posted December 29, 2005 Posts are being screwy again... Anyway, Jay yeah my max in one set went from 18 to at least 24 just from doing 5 rep sets and maxing out over an hour. Before I felt the pain on the 24th rep I was thinking that I was good for at least a few more reps on the set Focused on one leg squats yesterday especially on slow negatives to work on form. Did two sets of pushups til failure. Also did a set a of inverted toe touches (dead hang from the pullup bar and pull legs up to a vertical position, until they touch the bar). I didn't feel any arm pain or anything abnormal on these exercises. So hopefully what I felt the other day was minor. I'm going to try a light set of pullups now to see how it goes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willpeavy Posted December 29, 2005 Author Share Posted December 29, 2005 (edited) I just did a set of 10 pullups. Arm felt fine, set went well. Not sure if I was just being a wimp about the pain the other night or if my body was giving me warning signs of potential injury or what. I need to come up with a new routine for training for the pullup/hr record because I fear injury from overtraining now Edited December 29, 2005 by willpeavy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willpeavy Posted December 29, 2005 Author Share Posted December 29, 2005 (edited) I just spent the last hour at the playground with my son. I did a bunch of dips there. I haven't done dips in a long time so it felt great to do them again. I did some on parallel bars, and did some more at the corner of perpendicular bars Edited December 29, 2005 by willpeavy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willpeavy Posted December 29, 2005 Author Share Posted December 29, 2005 (edited) For pullup training I'm going to try a variation of Pavel's ladder Basically to do this you start out doing a set of 1 rep, then a set of 2 reps, next a set of 3 reps, then a set of 4 reps, and so on and see how high you can go I'm going to try doing this every other day and alternate between chinups and pullups each session. I.E. If I do a session of pullup ladders on Monday, then I'll do a session of chins on Wednesday, another sessin of pullups on Friday... Only on the last day of each month will I try to max out on pullup or chinup reps for a whole hour. I'll alternate each month. I.E. - January 31 I'll go for max pullups in an hour, Feb. 28 I'll go for max chinups in an hour I still want to aim for improving max reps per hour by around 1 per day, and my last best on chins was 150/hr. So on Jan 31 I'll shoot for 180 pullups/hr (3 reps per minute) Edited December 29, 2005 by willpeavy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
