Thanks Eric, thanks Patrick.
4 more weeks til the end of my amended Starting Strength program.
I'd like to aim for the 225 club then.

I should probably wait until the video finishes uploading to Youtube ... but I'm bored.

 

Hopefully the video is clear enough -- the first time I tried to film it, the area near the bar was too dark, so I focussed a flashlight in the general area to improve visibility.  My workout room is too small to get the best angle, so the camera was in the doorway looking in.

 

Never did max weighted pull-ups before (only weighted chin-ups for volume) and never used a dip belt, didn't realize it would be so difficult waddling around with the weight dangling off my waist.

 

Bodyweight 161.5#, total weight of 274#   Will add a little something to next week's workout to get me to the 275# club.

bdckr, I watched the finish of the movement about a dozen times and granted, it's not the best video angle, but it appears you just barely miss clearing the bar with your chin.

 

Very strong, though!

I agree, very strong.
Bdckr, you may as well try for the 275 next time.

Thanks.  You're no slouch yourself

That's fair.  I'll try to plan my next week's workout so that my wife is around to film it.

Looking forward to seeing this. Make sure you have her hold the camera up high.

Bdckr, if you don't go for the 275 club soon, I will.
