Timbo: what's your max pullup?

Current deadhang:
Chinup = 50kg x2 so ~ 55kg
Pullup = 20kg x6 or 30kg x2 so ~35kg

at 85kg BW.

Haven't actually tried for a genuine 1RM.

I'm also thinking I need some reps/speed work in my program. Can't get many reps at 80% of 1RM.

I'm going to work up to a max pullup on Tuesday. I needed a goal

Half reps?? If we can count those I can unrack a 260kg deadlift, a 210kg squat, and a 160kg bench. I win this contest.

ppfff why count only half reps when we could count quarters ?

i can rep the world on a squat going down only a forth of a dollar(otherwise known as the my old fella is too long to squat any lower squat). i win. but then none of that was true because my old fella is petite and i squat arse to the grass

I did 110 kg for sets of 3 reps today on bench
and 20kg chins(underhand) for sets of 3 reps on Thursday

 

[El Freako]

I was just explaining what I did that session, meaning I couldn't complete that last rep to my satisfaction.

 

[El Freako]

Nice chins and bench work my darling Pickle. Throw some bench vids up!

I´d love to be an Aussie too, is there a line I can get in? You guys are like the british but without the faggy accent. Like Americans but without the fat people, right?

I´m finnish, and weak too. I only do 155+112,5+215 and 87,5+105

 

[tim290280]

^^ Yes there is. Just come and study here for a few years, apply for citizenship then get dicked around by the immigration authorities so that you get citizenship but have to leave the country for a month first.

only when i get off my training wheels. 130 to 140kg depending on who i talk to:music:

 

[tim290280]

Well my run at this is set back a bit......

Just strained my back somehow! Feels like I've done some of the intercostals in my back as I was re-racking the bar during front squats.

 

[Pickle]

^ shit hopefully its not badxoxo

 

[tim290280]

^^ Probably not. I'm not sure. I definitely won't be doing any back or weighted work with a bar on my shoulders for a week or so.

 

[El Freako]

Pulled a new rack pull PB, 260kg.

Killed it!

 

[tim290280]

^^ Damn that equals mine.

I knew I should have busted out the paint tins and some rope when I ran out of weights.

Good stuff Ben!!

 

[Chesticles]

I underhand rowed 120kg with the thick bar for 6
