One Arm Pullup race.

[deegs]

OK, I'm starting this competition to force myself to get to one. To win, you have to have proof, ie. a videotape of you doing the full range of motion with just one arm. It must be completely unassisted by the other arm, so it must not come in contact with the pulling arm. I suggest keeping it down for clarity.

You must NOT be able to do a one armed pullup currently. To enter, list your bodyweight and pullup max.

Pictures not acceptable.

I suggest using a supinated grip.

Contestants so far:

deegs
blevunly
hotnewton
chickenjorge
dr. bob

[blevunly]

Alright I'm in, I gotta buy a pull-up bar though.

I'm 165lbs 6'1 and can do somewhere between 12 and 14 chins. I'll upadate with the real number when I get the bar.

Deegs, what are your stats?

[deegs]

im 5'10 165-170 and can do at least 17. i think i had more in me though, since i had a bit of doms from a previous workout.

[deegs]

this is gonna fun. i think it'd be a good idea to have races every once in a while for motivation. we can have a monthly one or something like that.

[blevunly]

Do one a month regardless of if the previous is finished or are you expecting to have this feat conquered in a month?

[deegs]

i didn't think this through, lol! well, im sure we can have simulteanous races going on. im sure more people would participate if the feat was something feasible for them.

[deegs]

oh and i think it'll take me a couple of months at least

[blevunly]

Good point.

oh and i think it'll take me a couple of months at least

Good to know atleast it will be competitive.

[hotnewton]

6'1" - 228. I can do 7-13 chins depending on the day... 13 being a perfect day.

I can't do an unnassisted one arm pullup. 6 weeks ago I did do 3 1/2 assisted one arm pullups. Am I disqualified?

[deegs]

no, as long as you can't do an unassisted one arm pullup you qualify dude. i would be pretty fucking impressed if you managed one at 228.

[deegs]

im gonna let my lower body atrophy

[blevunly]

Squating releases the most growth hormones so I'm gonna stick with it. Plus if next month happens to be a lower body challenge you don't want to be extremely weak.

[deegs]

we each have our own strategy! im getting polio.

[deegs]

i kid i kid, but cutting a few pounds of fat might be a good strategy.

[blevunly]

Yeah, I don't got much to cut. I'm the perfect example of an ectomorph. Btw is this comp for strict chins only, or are kipping ones allowed?

[deegs]

i think a little english is ok, but definitely not crossfit style kipping. we should decide together once the feat is recorded if it is acceptable or ridiculous. i could definitely see someone taking advantage of this and doing a jump into a pullup.

[blevunly]

Sounds good.

[hotnewton]

So I went and tried to do one but the only chin up bar I have is quite fat in comparison to normal chin up bars... and with no help at all I could barely hold on let alone move.

So I am now 100% officially in this race.

[pokey]

i'll volenteer to be judge since im not gonna enter

[deegs]

lol i just tried as well. basically i can only hold myself in the middle portion for a couple of seconds. im pretty far off.

sick, 3 people now!

[deegs]

i'll volenteer to be judge since im not gonna enter

sounds good, pal

[amanamagus]

I'm not ready yet but I'm working on it.

[amanamagus]

I need some help. Betta make another thread 'bout it.

[pokey]

one of you wanna delete one of the dp's nutrition threads, it made to 4 some reason

[amanamagus]

If there's a choice between taekwondo and weight training..... Which one should I choose to increase functional strength and better self defense?

[pokey]

weight-training wont nessicarily give u better self defense, unless you already know how to defend your self

[AfroBandit]

let me train a little...i should be able to do ...5... preetty easily after a week or so after training

[Chickenjorge]

i tried some pullups the other day after boxing. i was able to do about 5.

umm....im gonna try to work on that.

im 5'8
~ 130-135

[pokey]

how are we gonna rate weight to reps, are we gonna do this in weight classes

[Chickenjorge]

i dont think the weight should matter.
i mean...unless youre like 400 lbs doing 50 pullups

[pokey]

i dont think the weight should matter.
i mean...unless youre like 400 lbs doing 50 pullups

well your 135 while newton is about 100lbs heavier than u

[deegs]

naw, no weight classes. the bodyweight is simply to better gauge how impressive the feat is. for example, say both chickenjorge and hotnewton reach a 1 arm pullup at the same time, the 100lbs difference between them would have to be considered.

[Chickenjorge]

well your 135 while newton is about 100lbs heavier than u

well yeah but hes used to having that much weight. so hes naturally stronger.

[deegs]

basically, if you get there first, you win anyway. though jorge has an advantage

[pokey]

naw, no weight classes. the bodyweight is simply to better gauge how impressive the feat is. for example, say both chickenjorge and hotnewton reach a 1 arm pullup at the same time, the 100lbs difference between them would have to be considered.

so this isnt really a comp more of a race(duh says it in the name of the thread, excuse me im part polish) and we doing this based on quickness or just to help everyone reach their max

[pokey]

well yeah but hes used to having that much weight. so hes naturally stronger.

but it takes more energy and oxygen to move bigger muscles

[pokey]

basically, if you get there first, you win anyway. though jorge has an advantage

we will have to judge this without a system, or by popular vote from people not in the comp

[Chickenjorge]

but it takes more energy and oxygen to move bigger muscles

exactly. which his body is usually used to.

[Chickenjorge]

we will have to judge this without a system, or by popular vote from people not in the comp

i agree. but we should make it so its people that are regulars.
cuz then people can get their gimmicks to vote for them, or other posters will vote without knowing the weight, height, etc. of each poster, or any of that.

[deegs]

lol there's no voting, it's a race.

[deegs]

this got out of control quick

[pokey]

exactly. which his body is usually used to.

if we are seeing who can do the most, the lighter person has the advantage natually less energy=more repitition. it would be like having a bench press compition with you against him he is stronger, can lift more, and can do more reps at weights u max out on

[pokey]

lol there's no voting, it's a race.

ok this was all i was trying to find out

[Dr. Bob {ADR}]

I'm in. I will have to find out my max, but I am 175lbs.

[pokey]

I'm in. I will have to find out my max, but I am 175lbs.

height?

[blevunly]

How did we get on the subject of voting? Donpoke the race is to 1 one-arm chin/pull-up. So no need to worry about who can do the most reps as a prerequisite was that you cannot already perform one.

[deegs]

[blevunly]

Oh NOES!

I will cut off my feet. Make that 5'7" and about 163lbs.

Why stop there? If you get rid of everything below your chest you're guaranteed sucess.

[pokey]

[Dr. Bob {ADR}]

:damn: i wish i could rep u again


:hawtone:

[Dr. Bob {ADR}]

lol...this thread really got lost now.

[deegs]

it's cool, bob. eyes on the prize! even though the only prize is the satisfaction of knowing that you're a badass.

[blevunly]

lol nice

[deegs]

oh yea, blev, bob can only do his pullups with a towel, so that is now another option for doing them.

[Dr. Bob {ADR}]

it's cool, bob. eyes on the prize! even though the only prize is the satisfaction of knowing that you're a badass.

Indeed. I will start tonight in the warehouse!

[Chickenjorge]

lol.

this shit is fucked

[Chickenjorge]

i should get on the juice

[blevunly]

Damn, that's gonna make the gripping aspect alot harder.

[Dr. Bob {ADR}]

Damn, that's gonna make the gripping aspect alot harder.

Yeah. that's why I started doing them that way...plus the no pullup bar thing.

[pokey]

http://ninjashoes.net/forum/showthread.php?t=35688i should get on the juice

[deegs]

i should get on the juice

get off da ice, bra



did you try doing one?

[blevunly]

Yeah. that's why I started doing them that way...plus the no pullup bar thing.

Is it easy for you now?

[Dr. Bob {ADR}]

Is it easy for you now?

Um. No. It still sucks. It wears your grip down so fast. I think it will be less of a challenge for just one pullup though...unless it's a very slow one pullup.

[deegs]

the grip aspect will be tougher, but the position that the arm is in(close to the body) will probably help out, i think

[blevunly]

What is the towel over? I used a door once and that killed my grip.

[Dr. Bob {ADR}]

What do you mean close to the body?

In a two handed, I can see what you mean...but one handed it will be the same.

The rafters in my garage.

[VENDO]

well your 135 while newton is about 100lbs heavier than u

What kind a shit is this??

you should be strong for your weight.

Jorge weighs less, but that means he should have just as much trouble as a 200 pound man should.

hahahahahahahha....if I get my video of teh one handed pullup up first, I will have me doing the one pullup and running to grab my beer.

do u like crapes

[VENDO]

That's not the point.
They are under 200 pounds for alot more other reasons than that.
I was saying that jorge weighs 130, its equivalent to someone who weighs 175.

[deegs]

but it destroys your whole argument. it's a fact that the higher you go up in weight, strength to weight ratio drops.

[Dr. Bob {ADR}]

See deegs' av for proof.

[deegs]

the most powerful man in india p4p

[amanamagus]

Can I do a pullup standing on teh ground?

[pokey]

See deegs' av for proof.

yea he destroys everything, i think he'll be the one to take out fedor

your strength also increases though.

[blevunly]

The rafters in my garage.

buy a $25 pull/chin up bar from everlast like me, it easily hooks and unhooks in your doorway.

[amanamagus]

Plus when are teh mods going to move this thread to HOF?

[deegs]

obviously. but the strength to weight ratio decreases.

[Dr. Bob {ADR}]

I dislike having to tuck my knees up every time. I have a doorway one, but don't use it. I'd rather get the grip work in, and be able to fully extend my body or raise my knees on my own decision.

[deegs]

all it takes is to look at some results for an olympic lifting competition or powerlifting meet.

[pokey]

your strength also increases though.

you should read b4 u start butting in, it makes u look stupid

[Dr. Bob {ADR}]

Plus when are teh mods going to move this thread to HOF?

True. There is already some great material in here...


Gotta wait for the video though.
