I can only do 3 muscle ups... and after i do 3 in a row i cant do them during that workout anymore... :okay:

that is beast. would like to see a vid if possible.

will get started on this challenge after wed. im gonna say i can push out 10 reps super wide grip. probably 15ish if i use about a little more than shoulder width

damnit halo! im tired of your bragging! jk if I could lift as much as you id tell the world.
15 wide grips, then 12, then 8, then a few sets of 6..they should be considered weighted pullups since im carrying like 10 lbs of fat...lol
5'6, 177 lbs, been @ the gym 2.5 years, been lifting properly for about a year and a bit. (used to be 135)
not to go off topic, but is there a certain way to do muscle ups, or is it one of those "practice makes perfect" type of things

DAMN I was too into my workout that I completely forgot about the pullup challenge. :okay:
Will definitely see on Wednesday (back workout too)

@ AAnthony:

It's the kind of thing where you just know when you can lol

double post.....shitty android.....

I've always thought about using the assited pullup machine and setting the weight high so that it propells me upwards (it would be loud as he'll tho). im capable of doing clap pullups & stupid amounts of dips, but its the whole "wrist motion" that I can't do.

Will this tomorrow or wednesday and report 'back'.

exactlly the same issue with me aanthony the wrist motion shit is bustin my balls :S so frustrating but will try the challenge tmr : ) hoping for higher than 15

:drool:drool:bowrofl::fappery:

Never found the wrist motion as a big factor to the muscle up, because you should naturally be able to pull yourself up to the dip.
IMO, it's a combination of back and arm strength.
Lots and lots of weighted pullups (high weight, low reps) did it for me.

You think you'd be able to pull off 40+ body weight? :fullofwin:

some good numbers in here! ill do mine today or tomorrow

I managed 18 close grip reverse grip pullups. 6'3"@200lbs All arms basically.

Berz out.

ok i lied, 14 with a 45 plate, they were wide tho

6'6 240

20 wide grips. i thought my cg would be more than my wg

22 wide grips but the last 3 were really bad so 19

Edit: 5'8 @ 164lbs

15 real good under hand. i think i can do better. shooting for 20 on friday

5'11' 180lbs currently

14 underhand monday, no better today :failed:

169 5'11"

i want 25 from u

brb gotta cut another 20lbs first. haha


its crazy how when you work out low reps for max strength, your endurance dies. by #12 my everything was burning.


i guess thats the idea of these challenges. to get everyone to take a look at something a little different!

yep when i was 280 heavy weight was a breeze then i do high rep shit and im fucking dead

19 overhand a bit further than shoulder width apart @ 151lb :okay:

I think I could have pulled 2 or 3 more, got lazy haha will try again Saturday LOL

I agree with RRxtar. I generally only do 5-8 reps when doing weighted pullups. Body weight to failure was actually a challenge lol

probably has to do with the fact that you are gaining weight overall when doing lower reps... ie, increasing your bodyfat%. Unless you are doing cardio on the side, you aren't getting your HR up for any extended period of time with strength phases.

i never really go for reps and always maintain the same weight.. but even when i train 5-6 rep max, I can still do roughly the same amount of reps with body weight exercises...

neut grip 22.... last two werent full range of motion so 20... :okay:

Whats your stats?

I'll try this tomorrow.

haha i thought i was the only one that did lower rep weighted pullups. after you take the dip belt off, u feel like superman and u can pump out regular pullups like it aint shit.
