From Zero to 100 Pull-ups
Yesterday I completed a workout that involved doing 100 pull ups (total).
The workout was 4 rounds (for time) of 25 pull ups and 25 wall ball squats. I completed mine in 38 minutes. Keith was around the 19 minute mark I think.
Now, my overall time isn’t anything to write home about, especially if you compare it to seasoned CrossFitters or Primal workout-ers, but I’m most excited about the fact that I actually DID 100 Pull Ups!!
At the beginning of March, I had to do “jump pull ups” which focused more on jumping up to the bar and trying to slowly lower myself. Yesterday, April 23, 2010, I did 100 Pull Ups (kipping pull ups – are a variety of pull ups that require you to snap your hips forward to create momentum for the upward pull, but also require you to use more of your upper body to finish the whole pull up).
Watch the video to see where we work out and the result of my 100 Pull Ups (ouch).
Jon will graduate this May (2010) from nursing school. He's been working hard to complete this for the last 3 years. Imagine having to study almost 24/7 and ALSO fitting in time to workout and eat right. Way to go, Jon!
