The PR Thread! - Page 3

getting back on track I hit a PR today in weighted chins. Unfortunately it was 5lbs off what I was shooting for:

270X2X2
290X1X1
300X1X1
315X1X1
320X9/10thsX1

I was hoping for a 320lb weighted chin (BW=220+100lbs on a belt) but fell a few inches short as I couldn't get my chin over the bar to complete the lift. Nevertheless the 315lb chin is a PR. Oh well, taking a week off from chinning work then time to ramp up again.

And Carnal, big conrats on your 460 pull. Great job! You'll be pulling 500 by next year.

And congrats to everyone else: keep shattering your old records!

Nice work Chris! I'm envious of your freaky chin-up skills!

If I have it my way (and I will) I'll pull 510 by this summer.

I will pull 405 by the end of the year or I'll be a monkey's uncle.

Very nice lifts, but you must not have read the rest of the thread.

It is a long-term goal of mine. Currently I cannot do one. I can support myself in the contracted position and can do a negative, but starting from the bottom I move a quarter of the way or so and that is my sticking point. after the 100 pound chin goes down it's time to boost up my HSPU numbers on the parallelettes without using the wall to brace. maybe i will concentrate of one arm chin after that.

I made the paralletes out of 1+1/2 inch PVC pipe as shown on the crossfit website. Very solid piece of equip and you can't beat it for only $13.50 when it's homemade.

To be able to do one armed pullups you must have very good balance in your arms and shoulders. I can do about 30-40 pullups with palms out but I started to get good at one arm chins only when I started to do handstands and handstand pushups. Try to get to where you can go up a flight of stairs on your hands and you will have a good balance. Fingerboards and rings are also great for developing stabilising muscles. One armed chins are as much about balance as strength and weighted assisted one armed chins will help you much more than weighted regular pullups.

when do you guys sequence in your handstand push ups? first? or last?definately when i do them last i am so fatiqued i can't do it unsupported so i need to lean on the wall.

as far as walking up stairs i haven't done that one yet. down stairs yes. but not up.
