hmm any critique on this ? i want to start it soon as the majority gives approval.
My goal is to increase upper body mass(read:26inch thighs and 14inch arms, what a disparity) without affecting my olympic lifting schedule ( currently just learning how to snatch properly)
BTW I am squatting 352lbs for two so yeah i have some lifting experience under my belt.
Whatever floats your boat.
thats really helpful.
Go for it, Champ!
A concern would be recovery/over training, but then again Arnold did lots of this shit and it worked for him. So it all boils down to your dedication and consistency.
How long do you wanna do it.
always remember when you compare someone to a former drug user… i mean former bodybuilder. arnold took a ton of drugs… maybe the drugs made his recovery time better as well as making him look like he did.
Read this for the logistics of doing 100 chins in a day. I think it is doable if you take care of your eating and recovery, though I trust that you are already doing it. Furthermore, this is much easier to do if you have access to a chinning bar in your home, because I could see doing a 100 chins and 100 pushups before a workout could compromise the quality of the workout. But if you space it out, even with the DOMS, I can see it leading to great gains even with your schedule.
There is a strong genetic muscular endurance factor as far as being able to do a lot of pullups. I’d say most people could’t do 100 even if they trained for it.

your post is completely wrong. Plus hes not talking about 100 straight. 100 in a day. Thats a pretty easy number. thats less than 10 pull ups an hour… not hard
OP… How long are you trying to do this for? Just one day? One week? What?

hahahaha If I had noticed that I might have refrained… Ok probably not 
haha. Im planning to do this about 1week on 1 week off
cake. I just finished 1001 in a week (143 a day). days 2 and 4 were a little harder in terms of feeling a little worn down but all others were pretty easy. Hardest part was getting them done early so I didn’t have to sit on my porch for 45 mins cranking out 80 chins before midnight.
I’ve done over a hundred for about six weeks straight. Everyday. After six weeks I started doing single arm eccentrics, towel pull ups, archers, etc. You’ll need fish oil and possibly something for your joints. I had to get Glucosamine.
It’s pretty easy when stretched over a day.
I’ve done similar routines involving 100 pushups etc.
Can be a great way to bust through plateau’s
That’s a pretty good idea. I was thinking of pumping out 50 pulls up, and 50 push ups every day that I work out. Even when I’m not working back and chest, but I guess it all boils down to what you guys already mentioned. That article that doctor92 posted gave me a pretty good idea on how to start it, I’m definitely going to give it a shot.
it’s possible to do 100 chin ups a day. i use a forced rep technique and i’ll do 2 sets of 50 wide grip chins and 2 sets of 50 close grip chins in a pull workout. In that workout i’m also doing barbell curls and bent over rows
I do 50 anytime I work my back. I don’t see why 100 would be an issue. After a few weeks you get down to being able to do them in 4-5 sets.

yawn Do that everyday in 4 - 5 sets. FWIW you should vary the grip between sets, so I only refer to pullups rather than talking about chinups, pullups and the like.
Go for it. Work up to it gradually though and be sure not to kip up with the lower body – that’s cheating.
Start with a daily goal in good form that is reasonable. Vary grip (palms facing each other, towards you or away from you.) Once you get so you can do 20 a session with good form (might have to do them in 2’s and 3’s initially) then the rest is endurance. If you do sloppy pullups but a lot of them, you won’t get much benefit.
Balance it out with overhead pressing of various sorts, so single-armed or double. Maybe javelin presses sometimes. Doing paired motions of push+pull just keeps you from getting weird imbalances later and it is really easy to put into your training.
Oh, and all you are doing is controlling the angle between your elbows and upper body. That is the most important part of doing pullups right. Otherwise it is just another arm exercise. Want to know if you are doing them right? Go find a rope and climb it.

Not to be an ass, but 352 for a double does not warrant the abandonment of a strength program (low reps, high weight) in exchange for an endurance program (high reps, low weight). I would maybe hit this once in a deload week to change it up, or at the start of your program in a high volume load phase, but don’t do it just to do it.
