Title: 5000 Chinups
Post by: p.Esk. on September 27, 2011, 08:25:48 pm

I am going to start doing an experiment i read from a T-Nation article.
http://www.t-nation.com/free_online_article/most_recent/13064_pullups_in_5_months (http://www.t-nation.com/free_online_article/most_recent/13064_pullups_in_5_months)

I am going to do chinups daily until i get 5000 total chinups.

I will add one total rep each day. I did 50 yesterday. Today I did 51. Tomorrow i will do 52. Once i get to the day where i do 112 reps. I will have done over 5000 chinups. This might effect my bench, pressing, DL, and rdl for a little bit, but i think i will eventually adapt. i am going to this Monday through Saturday and rest on Sunday. Kind of like how farmers work Monday through Saturday. THis can be like my farm work. Lol

THis really has nothing to do with my goals of being a faster sprinter, but I wanna do this out of pure curiosity and as an extra personal challenge.
One of my goals is to get 20 chinups easily and eventually get a one arm chinup. I wouldnt mind getting a bigger back, biceps, forearms in the process.

I am using a neutral grip. i will eventually get rings once i save up my allowance but until then its neutral grip. dont want to fuck up my elbow in the process.

Cool idea, really wanted to try it out, but he says you should be able to do 10 pullups first, Once i get to 10 im going to start this. You are a sprinter too? what are your times?

Yeah i can do 13 chinups at the moment. IDK my times. I just started sprinting. I played basketball pretty competitively (AAU, high school) until this year (11th grade) when i just had no desire in playing anymore.

nice, i like daily pullup/chinup work.. just as much as daily squats.. seem to get strong fast with daily pullup/chinup work.

can't say the same for pushupsdb bench etc in my experience.

sounds cool, post a recap when u complete it!

update: i think it is because i am keeping my reps relaively low (3-9) but i am not feeling tired at all three days in. I did not hit my goal weight on the bench for 3x8 but that may be from the stress of midterms, lack of sleep studying, or something else.
