Minotaur do you have any vids of some pull-up training? Like can you rep out weighted pull-ups with three plates and shit? Cuz that would be some impressive lifting dawg.[/quote]
So everyone needs a video now?
Dumb.

When you make the claims above when I, for one, absolutely had issues with the approach you described. I’ve also met others who have had elbow issues with a high volume approach.
And see the post below from ChongLordUno (who I’ve never met but his posts are intelligent):

Good luck OP![/quote]
So when make your claims, I’m not buying.
Certainly, the if-you-want-to-get-better-at-something-then-do-more-of-it approach works. But I’m convinced it reaches a point of diminishing returns for some (like it did for me). A more custom and precise program is in order and those who blindly do x number of pull ups every day are just spinning their wheels (unless, of course, they get off on telling others they do all these pull ups every day).
As stated in an earlier post, I train pull ups about 10 times per month and I’m hitting PRs on a regular basis.
If you’re ever in So Cal, feel free to hit me up. I say we do the following:
***1 pull up with max weight
***heaviest weight for 3 reps (if you want to go with another rep number, no worries)
***max number of pull ups with a 45lb plate
Whoever takes two out of three above events wins.
And let’s make it interesting…how does 5k U.S. dollars work for you? Your silly every day approach vs my precision/custom-tailored approach. [/quote]
This thread was about whether or not the OP could or should complete this 100 day challenge (with no mention of elbow pain) and I was encouraging him to do it since I know many people who successfully do this every day.
I still can’t figure out which of my claims you are trying to dispute with your precision “sniff test”:
a. that I have done over 100 pull-ups a day for years with no injuries
b. that I know numerous people who do the same
OR
c. that people who I have shared this method with all got better at pull-ups with no injuries
None of these claims are even close to being outrageous. I don’t get off on talking about some pretty average feats so I’m really at a loss as to what you’re trying to call me out on.
As far as your challenge goes–since now you sound like you’re trying to be the forum pull-up alpha–I’m game, I love some competition. Feel free to PM me your contact info and I will be in touch with you next time I’m in SoCal. I’m there maybe once or twice a year. I’m not going to put up $5k USD with some stranger from the internet but we can definitely make a pot and have some friendly competition.
I’m guessing you probably train for these specific goals/targets and I’m sure you’re pretty good since you’re willing to put up $5k. As for me, I don’t train for any of the events that you propose. I simply do pull-ups as an upper back exercise to balance out the daily pushing that I do. It takes me no more than 10-15 minutes a day to get all my reps unless I’m trying to make a real workout out of it (weighted, etc). Up til now I have not had any specific pull-up related goals other than to repeatedly do sets of 20 all day long in order to win free shit at the Arnold Classic. Don’t think of this as cop out, it just means that now I’ll actually train pull-ups with a goal not just as an accessory. Regardless, you can bet I’ll be using my “silly every day approach”.[/quote]
The purpose of this thread is the op asked if high volume pull ups are a good idea. I gave him my personal experience which ruffled some feathers…especially when I stated some people just like to say they do pull ups everyday. Well I actually enjoy hitting pr’s and staying injury free in the process. So I stated there are alternative methods and backed it up with a challenge (which you’re invited to csulli).
So some folks got their panties in a knot. Entertaining and a little sad.
And just in case the earlier response to thecb gets lost-youre a cunt who has probably been lurking and waiting in the wings to “get” back at me for some imaginary slight in the past.

sounds like you haven’t been fresh since you started, or maybe since like day 30. so that could be much higher now, just saying how do you really know?
So no vids then. As expected.

I’m willing to meet my detractors in person. Settle things the old fashion way…
Some people just like the security blanket internet provides.
If this disappoints you, that’s your problem.
It’s okay man. No one waits with high hopes for a troll to post a vid. I’ll put one up for you tomorrow. If you like, you can see if you can beat what I do. I should hope you can, because Chia is better by far, so if you can’t best me, you have no hope of defeating the final boss.

Do whatever you want. And its laughable that a guy whose willing to meet people in person is the troll in your eyes.
T nation is your little club house and you resent anyone who dares differ in opinion. So the clique tries to push out the intruder.
And like I said before, you’re also welcome to the same challenge.
You see, internet bro points means nothing to me.
No one is interested in travelling across the country for a pullup contest of all things which may or may not actually even exist. You know it is a safe bluff and are trying to appear tough.
Video is easier by far. If you were truly confident in your ability you would put up or shut up here.
No one resented your opinion. You were the first to take offense. You invented the tough guy call out. You are the only one throwing insults. These are all hallmarks of a troll. It’s no one’s first day on the internet here lol.

I assure the bet is real and the cash is cold.
The other poster claimed doing 100 pullups a day should be no problems for anyone.
I disagreed because its one of the few exercises I know well enough to discuss.
You then made an annoying post and want to compare via the safety of a video conference. Well, money talks and bullshit walks…hence my conditions.
And im not demanding anyone hop on the red eye. Like I told that other poster, when he finds himself in the area, to hit me up. People visit so cal all the time. He or you are more than welcome to meet up at a neutral gym
Whatever you say dawg lol.
And for any other clubhouse members that want to take a dig, I may not get to you right away because my universe doesn’t revolve around an internet forum. Thank you for your patience.
LMFAO

Oh don’t you worry…no doubt your fellow clubhouse mates will crawl out to back their bro.
Smh at the sad people who define themselves by their ability to rule T Nation forums…

I dunno, it seems pretty straightforward to me. Both of you upload videos to YouTube and post them here. It’s not even like you need to show your face. Why travel when you can just post a video?
Even without money on the outcome, I’d like to see this.
