Bigbwii Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 Does anyone wanna challenge me on chin-ups? I'm really weak on my chin ups and I need a big push I think I got 250 last time and I wanna get more, maybe 300! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 I did 362 in 90 minutes a week or two ago. I'm going to try to do 300 in one hour tomorrow. (5 reps every minute) World record's 701. How bout it? Max chins in an hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willpeavy Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 Sounds like a good challenge. I need to get a pullup bar at home again. Lately I've been either going to the gym or doing them off the back of a staircase behind my building. What kind of range of motion are you doing on them?

How bout it? Max chins in an hour. Cool, your on pace to challenge the record. I've only been doing a set til failure 2 or 3 times a week each of pullups and chinups lately, so hopefully I haven't fallen behind on one hour maxes. Also I've been doing the exercise where the grip is halfway between a chin and a pullup, I'm not sure what you call those though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also I've been doing the exercise where the grip is halfway between a chin and a pullup, I'm not sure what you call those though.Parallel grip chins? I've really been liking this extreme high volume stuff and I'm getting stronger from it. I did a set to failure twice or so a week for many years and I really was plateaued (sp) for many years around 20 or so chins. So, I did it! Got exactly 300 in one hour. 5 rep sets the first 43 minutes. Then till 51 minutes did a 3 and 2 rep set every 30 seconds. Then back to 5 rep sets the last 9 minutes. Very, very, very hard for me. Gasping for breath the last 30 minutes. Ugh, I'm very tired.... Did it on an empty stomach and didn't even have a glass of water this morning before trying. (Also wore nothing but boxer shorts.) Weight was just 210.... Full ROM except on some of those last sets where I was lifting my chin just a tiny bit on the last rep to get it over the bar. I bet Bigbwi did a little better. But then I get like 40 to 50 grams of protein a day and he's getting maybe half that I'd guess. (I'm really wondering if along with protein being overrated, anti-oxidants are extremely underrated for strength training.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigbwii Posted March 24, 2006 Author Share Posted March 24, 2006 WELL DONE JAY!!!!!! I haven't started yet, I'm still baby sitting!!!!

willpeavy Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 300/hr is huge. My best yet is around 170 something. I like the pull/chinups per hour thing because it tests your breathing and endurance as much as your strength. Today at the gym I was experimenting around with the gravitron machine (the thing where you can do chinups with your knees on a counterbalance to make them easier) and was working on one arm chins. I think this might be the best way to get them down, just keep working on taking weight off the gravitron til I can do them at bodyweight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
9nines Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 I can do chin-ups - no where near what you can do - but I can only do 7 pull ups (wide grip - palms down.) My lats are in poor shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay Posted March 25, 2006 Share Posted March 25, 2006 I figured you'd do better but I was guessing 350 or so. Anyway that's great! I'm going to have to work even harder to give you some competition. How much do you weigh BTW? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigbwii Posted March 25, 2006 Author Share Posted March 25, 2006 Oh man ....I'm numb!!! I wiegh 170lbs I wanted to stop at 150 but I knew I had to beat ya! If you had not of stepped up I would of quit early I think because I really didn't wanna do this! Biceps are my weakest part! Thanks again Jay!

Jay Posted March 25, 2006 Share Posted March 25, 2006 Yeah that was a little too much pain. I couldn't take doing that very often mentally. It doesn't really hit my biceps much though. Mostly just a back exercise really. Curls hit biceps way better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigbwii Posted March 25, 2006 Author Share Posted March 25, 2006 Yeah, I find that doing such high reps is like doing strength training with heavy wieghts! I really don't know if I want to keep trying to out do myself with the high rep stuff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willpeavy Posted March 25, 2006 Share Posted March 25, 2006 AAAARRRGHHHH IMA BAAADDDD MAAANN!!!! Jay!! make sure you have a seat ready 420!!!!!! Good work. 420 in an hour or a day? If you're doing that in an hour you really gotta keep pushing for the record. You would get all kinds of press for fruitatarianism Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
