Since you guys suck at making up a challenge, I will :sunglasses:

At the END of your next LEG day (or equivalent), you young blokes are to do the following:

  • Set a timer for 3minutes
  • START with 1 pull-up
  • Drop off bar than do 1 Push-up
  • Repeat until 3 minutes is up.

NOTES

  • Pull-ups must be from full ROM (a small bend in the arm at the bottom is acceptable but no jumping up), chin must go over bar.

  • Pull-ups can be any grip. You may change your grip throughout the challenge.

  • Push-ups must be full ROM (nose/chest to floor, arms locked out at top)

  • No video is required but keep cheating out of it. If you want to cheat go to a forum that doesnā€™t have ā€˜Testosteroneā€™ in the name

  • ONLY COUNT THE NUMBER OF PULL-UPS YOU DO!!!

Good luck lads, Iā€™ll also give it a run to see how bad my conditioning is :smile:

Iā€™ve done this before, itā€™s pretty fun

Thatā€™s going to suck complete balls. After my squat widow maker Iā€™m usually drooling on the floor, and then doing a bunch of pull-ups and pushups? Disgusting. :stuck_out_tongue: Iā€™m still game, though,

@Irishman92 youā€™re a sadistic bastard. You better do it too. Misery loves companyšŸ˜œ

Haha I actually do think im a little sadistic, but I also like to become accustomed to pain myself so a touch of masochism in there to :wink:

Iā€™m actually thinking of giving it a go 2day. I have the day off now and if my day stays non busy Iā€™ll hit the gym.

86

Ill be doing mine on Sunday. If Iā€™m still alive, ill post my results

Iā€™m down with chucking 40kg on the bar and doing as many as possible. 60 would be too heavy for everyone to do 20+ with which thereafter it gets fun. Also record it. Can we do SSB or nah.

Iā€™ve done sets of 30 with 95lb after reading a Dan John article.

Itā€™s not that bad.

Now, if you boys go onto 50+ repsā€¦ then kudos.

Doesnā€™t it just get boring and tedious after a while?

Probably a severe sense of death also

Will do this on thursday after front squats on leg day

97

I wish. Try 50 in a reasonable amount of time and let me know if those are your two primary thoughts at the end :smile:

98

I guess my question was more of asking whether you can even keep it up without just thinking ā€œFuck this, Iā€™m outā€.

10 minute time cap works well enough. Just pretend its conditioning instead of squatting.

Ha.

Imma give that a try as a conditioning session after my regular squat day on Weds or some such.
