And Gah! No! I would never, could never, ride a bike in NYC! Have you seen the way people drive up here?

I have. Through Times Square on 42 then down 7th @ rush hour.
The cars avoid you.
I used to ride between Penn Station and Grand Central when I commuted by train and bike from Edison, NJ to East Fishkill, NY.
Madison Ave has some ugly hills, lol.
Happy New Year, Maschy!

Tremendous effort–stunning and beautiful really.
And tremendous improvement. YOu hit TWO really strong sets!
I’m sorry you fell short of your goal though.
All that really matters is that I got to see the hair and backside of masch…
Just hanging there like a fruit waiting to be picked.
Drool
Thank you Nadia!! Thank you so much!! I am proud of them, even if I didn’t get my goal.
Thanks, Busy! And happy new year to you!
Git, Lol! Thanks, doll. I’m such a dork.
I had to take my vid down b/c my guy said I was being a douche. lol! I said I was being “biographical.” Anyways, the unedited version forthcoming!
Have a good one tonight!
Awww food I’m so stoked for 2012! Is going to be most Heavenly Blessed year of goal after goal achieved. Keep killin it mama! You make me proud and kinda giddy!
131 > 127 is only 4lbs. You’ll do it. Me, I have to lose about 15lbs or more to get where I want to be. Bleh.
And happy new year. Let’s hope 2012 is injury free for you.
Glad to hear the video is coming back. I was going to be mad if I missed sexy back and hair bobbing up and down.
I’m sorry you missed your goal. I missed my pull-up goal too, and I think we’ve both agreed that 2011 was just an odd year overall. I’ve got a really good feeling about 2012 though, so let’s make some big plans and fight dirty for 'em, agreed?
Shoot for the stars and land on the moon yo! That was very very impressive, you did awesome, I think if you went a twinge wider with your hand placement it would of been no problem. I find that a slightly more wide grip for me will also incorporate your rear delts a bit along with your lats to give you that little extra power. Go to wide and its all Teres minor, a slightly wider than shoulder grip incorporates mostly Lats and a bit of the teres…
Anyway the drive you showed was admirable and hella impressive I can watch you do pullups all day!
Why did you take it off?
Heres to 2012…buddy
My 2011 is incomplete without having seen the Maschy pullup video. 
OK, the pullup goal didn’t quite work. Next year will be better.
I’m excited for all of us for 2012! So much energy! Great programs and goals! And the best part – the excellent company we keep around here. Thanks for being such a highlight of my 2011.
Yer I missed the video aswell. Was it R-rated or something?

HAHAH! No, it was just long and obnoxious.
But here it is for your viewing pleasure!
Rocky, happy to oblige you with both hair and backside 
Hallie, my love! Aww! I like spreading love, I really do. So if I can make you giddy and proud than that makes me happy. <3!
Thanks, Cal!! Yeah, I’m not sure I’m going to actively try to get down to 127…I’m not one for dieting and stuff. I realize, to get to 131 I need to clean up my diet. To get to 127 I’d probably need to keep diet clean and lower calories, and that kinda worries me considering the kind of training I want to keep. But who knows!
Also, I just want to remind y’alls that I’m <5’2 - so pounds look very different on me than they do on you taller ladies!! One pound on me is more significant, that’s why at 135 I was looking so roley-poley, and that just dropping “just a few pounds” can make all the difference. No?
Lula - HAHA! I <3 ya, girl! You’re the best. And yeah, more dirty fighting for us for sure!! I love it! I seriously don’t care if I fail, as long as I put my all into it then I’m happy. I know you’re the same. Let’s do it!!
Kimba, you are the most beautiful and exceptional woman I have ever e-met. Welcomed me to the compound from the start! So thank you for keeping me company over the years - all your encouragement and ass kickings, they are priceless! Here’s definitely to 2012!!
And Kimba, I got something for you…Here’s my pistol squats!! I think you can totally do them, and if you progress them, they might really help with knee cave since part of practicing them is to keep the knee from caving and building abducting strength.
I might bring them in again next cycle, but for now I think I need to give them a rest. The knee torque is a bit tough…
Hope everyone had a wonderful New Years!!
Today is an off day for me - hitting it again tomorrow with my brand new shiny cycle! Let’s do it!!
EDIT: Matty!! I thought I responded to you, but I guess it all happened in my mind. Thanks, holmes!! You’re the best, man. Its true. Gotta shoot big, right? And thanks for the tip!! I think you’re right, if I widened my grip a bit I’d be using my lats more too. I’m gonna work my WG pullups this year. I wanna big, wide back just like you!!

I was totally diggin’ the long and obnoxious one. But this one rocks too
And holy pistol squats! I’m not sure I can do even one. I’ll have to give 'er a go now.
Really? First the visual of the pants falling down, sans no panties…
Then the video HOLY FUCKING SEXY BODY,
NOT to mention the effort, I was trying to help you, when i realized I was squeezing MY butt-cheeks —>true
The finisher frickin Pistol squats !!!
What a great way to start my new year 
EDIT: Also Happy New Year Mash
Feliz año nuevo hermosa!!!
So close Maschy!
Oh well, better luck next year. We can go for 12 in 2012.
Have you ever tried the V-neutral grip. I find I can do way more reps when using that grip.

awesome vids! love the effort on the pull-ups. you set the bar high and now i’m scared :-/
great work on the pistols, too. i’m working those pretty hard at the moment but not strong enough to stand up on either leg. pout. happy new year masch, looking forward to following along.
Happy New year Maschy mAsch!!
<3 <3 <3
AW! The pullups were awesome! You’re almost there, Maschy. And you’re giving it everything you’ve got. LOVE THAT! Plus, I felt like I was there. So far that video is the most exciting thing that’s happened on Tnation this year!
Those pistols are super impressive. I can’t do them at all without holding onto a door jamb or something, and even then…those are brutal. That’s amazing, and after your ACL repair, too!
