I saw your comment in Lelle's journal about how you went from being only able to do one chin up, to being able to do 50 in only a matter of weeks. Great work on those gains!

Chin ups are my favorite exercise

Wooooowwwww.
Nice job Nobbi!

Thanks, but this is not in a row. I can only do 5 in a row, then 4 / 4 / 4 /4 / 3 / 3 / 3.....

I try to improve to do at least 10 chin ups in a row and 100 or more in one session. These are close grip chin ups by the way. i don't know how many I can do with wide grip.

nice going man chin-ups still slay me. I start off with about 6 or 7, then instantly drop right down to 4, then down to 2 or 3, and I can't do more than that without a huge rest. You're right to go about it the way you are though, I should do the same, to keep doing it even 2 or 1 at a time

Ok, here we go AGAIN...

After so much personal trouble and little injuries I will give it another try. I still hate working out, but even more I hate being not in shape. So, let's kick ass.

My goal: although not being fat, but not in shape, I want to loose some weight and gain some muscles. Also, I will try to make a picture of myself (almost) every day and make a movie of it to watch my progress.

Almost 38 years young, 176cm (5' 9")

I’ve started last Monday Oct. 26th with weight lifting. Bodyweight was 75kg (165 lbs), body fat (20,9%).

How it hurts to start over again. Begin February I could bench-press 1 x 101kg (222 lbs) and Monday it was only 3 x 71kg (156 lbs).
