Durrs Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 I know it's not a perfect pull-up but it's a big PR after about 6 months of a lot of volume. 393# total. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durrs Posted October 15, 2014 Author Share Posted October 15, 2014 I just realized I posted in GB instead of strength and power thread. Sorry WannaGrip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devin Annis Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 (edited) Awesome lift! I used to be good at weighted pull ups and looked into what the Guinness Book of World Records amount was. I couldn't find the amount so I e-mailed Guinness and they responded that there was no record and asked me if I wanted to set it. I was doing 135 lbs at the time and didn't think that was good enough. I never really got any better than that and as far as I know no one has ever been certified for the heaviest pull up. Keep it up! (pun intended. lol) Edited October 15, 2014 by Devin Annis 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Volume drop sets got me through the plateau. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barbe705 Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 moved the thread. I've been doing a lot of pull ups as warm up on my upper body days. about to start dropping reps and adding weight. I have a feeling it will be a while before I get to 150. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you'll be surprised how fast you will improve, if and when you get plateaued let me know because I would like to see if what I did works on other people.

bwwm Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 Very strong partial !!! I think you could easily do 135# or 140# full ROM! You should get in on the pull-up/chin-up thread we've got going. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should get in on the pull-up/chin-up thread we've got going. Just found the weighted pull-up thread lol I didn't even know. Awesome lifts on there! I will definitely get on that. When I did the lift I felt like my arms were all the way straight before I went up but video doesn't lie. My arms were definitely a little flexed on the start. 135# was my old PR done in this same fashion, 150# has been the real goal. Ill get one that passes. Thanks for checking it out.

Durrs Posted October 17, 2014 Author Share Posted October 17, 2014 Thats a lot of weight i can barely get 135 now. I think I'm probably around there as well if it was an official thing. I did get a solid controlled negative though! My back is more sore right now than it's been in a long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
