I don't really like pushups because it hurts a bit my elbows when i do 20+. 50 is probably a bit too much for "normal" people like me, but 30+ might be a challenge. I have bought a bar last week and it is time to beat my old nubbie record. | ||

I have bought a bar last week and it is time to beat my old nubbie record. Well, I have a gymnast friend who can do around 40 with damn near perfect form. 30+ is a good challenge. Apparently if you kick when you do a pull up, it doesn't count, so apparently I can only do like 9 instead of 21. Damn my flailing legs. | ||

Yes I know pull ups are mainly forearms/back/some biceps and pushups are mainly chest, shoulders, and triceps, but still, you are lifting so much more when you do pullups. Are u sure ur not getting them confused with chin ups? (Pull ups are palms away from you, chin ups are palms facing you) Are you gripping the bar wide enough? If your elbows hurt when you do pushups, your positioning might be wrong. Try doing knuckle pushups.

For me, i like to straighten my legs perpendicular to my body when I do a pull up, it's not "cheating" (as long as u dont kick, and maintain that position) and it works ur abs/glutes/quads at the same time. | ||

But does anyone else feel like Week 3 column 3 was a HUGE step above Week 2 column 3? That wall is fucking massive. Haha, I got through Week 2 Column 3 (the old, easier one) ok, then proceeded to fail Week 3 Column 3 Day 1. | ||

I did 20/21 like this ( chin ups ? ) ![[image loading]](http://pix.nofrag.com/1/c/7/027b9ed174f41cae1370ca7e9467b.jpg) and only 2/3 more with the other hand position. Seriously just try to do your max with each hands positions. There won't be a lot of difference ( +20 % max i guess ). If you do 10 ( for example ) of the " hard" version i think you won't be able to do more than 13 of the "easy" version. | ||

Has anyone actually gone through with this yet? I got to week six, but then the routine became impossible for me to complete: 40 50 25 25 50 with sixty seconds of rest?? Now that sounds pretty superman to me. I can do maybe 60 if I really kill myself... | ||
