Ha! You had more weight on the bar than I did, that’s for sure! I started with more, realized i was getting too big for my britches, then ducked my head in shame and took out the lil plates. womp womp
watching that video again, i seriously can’t believe you just had surgery and have that much ROM. you’re right, your PT would be freaking out!!
and (!) I think you should read Miss Kimba’s wise words to me in my log regarding body appreciation. Your body is incredible! smacks ass
Rocky, shhh…you don’t have to say a word…
Matty! You so sweet. Full O awesome is Full O win!
Lol! Up! You do have a point there…And thanks for the vote of confidence 
Mainy, thank you girlie! I need that reassurance. Let’s fucking do it! RAWR!
Tech, haha! Oh jeez! You can say it all you want, but I think the guys at the gym just aren’t into me. I’m sure my muscles don’t have anything to do with it either. I think I might just a bit too earnest while working out. And that can be a leetle scary. Lol!
HAHAH! Lex, that’s hilarious. And YES! you can most definitely pullup 1/3 your weight!! And I think that’s an awesome goal to have. You can do it!
Joe - tis true, my friend, quite true!
Print, you and your sweet talkin’ 
Brutiful! What?! You doubled your PR in a week?! Damn, mama! Actually, when I finish here I’m going to head over to your log and see what you gotta say about this Pullup Guru…Maybe I can gets some tips from you!
Spook, haha! I always feel bad for the innocent bystanders I capture on vid. lol!
Ok, so just to bring everything right back down to the bitter reality that is my life, today I had the shittiest pullups session ever!
I was supposed to do 10 sets of 4…but instead I did:
4, 4, 2, 2, 2, 2, 1, 1, 1, 0 < ZERO! FUCKING ZERO! HAHA! Oh man…
So basically, I did less than half the number of pullups I did last time I trained these. Yeah, blows.
I am hormonal, so maybe that has something to do with it. And I did supserset these with clapping pushups which were also hard tonight…but still!!
Anyways, not getting deterred. More fuel for the fire, bitches! I’m going to test my max in 2 weeks and reassess, til then its on like donkey kong! (shout out to G-Ron!)
Also, I think I’m ready to pull some DLs from the ground. I’m going to pull conventional altho I like sumo MUCH better - but not sure the knee is ready for sumo yet.
Anyways, I’m planning on pulling overhand and I’m just curious whether I should have my hands in a snatch grip (i.e. wide), or whether I should just pull overhand in a more conventional shoulder-width grip? Does it even matter?
Any thoughts on this, much appreciated!
Till the next time. Nighty, night lovers!

I don’t buy that, unless you workout in some sort of gym with sissy dorks. Shall I do a poll around asking how many guys would mind you looking all “earnest while working out”, puh leaze woman!
I think KMCNYC (Kev) does alot of snatch grip deads, I believe they are harder. but I never did em like that…(a lot help I was right there!)
Are you doing only wide grip pullups? How about alternating between wide, Neutral and supinated for da gunnnzzzz!

No, they just look at you and think “She’s out of my league…”
not sure if supersetting your pullups are conductive to adding reps?
then again I am of the lazy pl sort. just food for thought.
Goal was 40. Does it really matter how you get there? Just get to 40, even if it’s 40 singles. 19 does not count.
I’m w/Mainey on the supersetting. Especially clap push-ups. A lot of undo stress on the arms. If anything I would suggest doing a shoulder ex.

Depends what you want out of it. Snatch grip you feel all across your upper back the next day. Conventional, you can pull more weight and it’s obviously quads/hams/glutes/low back
Experiment with both, see which you like.
Those Anderson squats look really good!
Good work in here Masch!
PS: I’m with Matty on alternating grips with your pull ups.

I HAVE SOME INPUT ON THIS TOPIC!!!
Guys that are into working out (yanno, like we are) are HIGHLY DISINCLINED to approach a woman at the gym… they think to themselves that would be assholish interrupting someone’s workout. I have had this convo with SEVERAL men that workout and this is what each of them has independently said about it. They also say they feel like assholes when they catch themselves LOOKING at a girl too long. So, it has nothing to do with you and more to do with their sense of manners.

x2, I almost posted this exact thing. There are two types of girls in the gym:
Either way, I’m not hitting on chicks in a gym. (you are obvi in the 1st group)

masch! i’m learning all about the act of building up pull up power from checking out the things Harry prescribes to various people who ask him for help. It varies for everyone!
Nadia warned me that he starts out slow–she started with 5 sets of 2. yes, the queen who can pop out 15 in a set started out that slow. REALLY!!! and only once a week. it can’t be wrong! OH!! And Alexus is doing it too!! we can be a trio!
I like only doing them once a week too because they kick my ass! as for grip too…i kinda give myself a bit of a ego boost by hands being slightly less to equal to shoulder width apart. Probably easier that way but its enough pull up for my checklist. Maybe mess about and see which suits you best.
I also would not approach a chick who was doing actual work in the gym, except possibly to comment positively about said work being done.
And yeah, the other type… pfft.

Hey lovely people! Thanks for tuning in!
Bug - Semi-nakies for progress monitoring are soon to come! Got a little fatty over the weekend, though 
Tech, lol! or maybe its the camel toe…eeps!
Matty, no that’s great! Thanks for the reminder! I’ll go scour his log for vids. Btw, a friend of mine told me there’s a prowler at that Red Hook gym. I got BIG ideas for a monster DL day, then some serious eats at Defontes. ehh? enticing isn’t it?..after the meet and when I’m more impressive we should organize!
2Busy, hah! That’s sweet. If only you knew me IRL…i’m pretty much a dime a dozen in these parts! Typical NYC girl. You know the type!
Mainy, you’re right. Its not! But…I don’t know…I like it!
Print, hiya daddy! Actually, the goal wasn’t 40 reps. The goal was 10x4. My methodology is to hit 10 sets - once I hit 40 in total I move up to 10x5. If I had to hit 40 reps through singles, I’d be there all day! And that’s a good point on the pushups, but I just ran the last cycle with front raises and rear delt raises, I’m over it. I want something new and fun!
Up - What?! HAHAH! I’m not completely sure what you mean, but if you’re starting a rumor about me doing a pullup with a clap, I accept the challenge! woop woop! Give me…um…2 or 3 months, lol!
SCj - awesome, thanks! Of course I prefer to work the booty. Gotta keep things juicy!
Ddot! Thanks for stopping in! And thanks on the props. I agree on alternating the grips. Normally I’d do neutral grip, which is easier for me than pronated. And I used to train my chins on the reg and but chins BLEW UO my bis. Plus I really, REALLY want pronated to get strong. But soon I’ll start alternating!
Hallie, my dark and stormy, Joe, Kristoph - Hi!
Hmm…I hear what you guys are saying…but where else am I going to find big, juicy men?! I guess the right guy will know the perfect time to come talk to me
Brutiful! I checked out the site and I saw your post. HAH! You’re hilarious. You know what’s funny? I’m kinda surprised he says to only do them 1x a week - so many other people tout frequency training with pullups. Kinda cool that he employs a whole different method! And yeah, WG pullups are so hard!! I also do mine a little bit out of shoulder width. I mean, yeesh!! You’re gonna rock those pullups! And you know what else, I can already picture how totally rockin’ your body is going to be!!
Well, helloooo sailor! How’s my favorite groom to be?
Training updates in 3…2…
