Pullup Challenge Days 1-5
Monday, May 04, 2009
For dates 050409 - 050909
And here we go. Remember guys, only do 10-25% of baseline each set. The key is to not put yourself into muscular fatigue. If you cant do a single pullup, jumping pullups and or negatives will suffice.
Post your number of sets and reps here at the end each day.

Pullup challenge baseline.
Friday, May 01, 2009
Hello everyone!
Today is the day we establish our baselines for the challenge. This part is easy... you perform as many pullups as possible without dismounting from the bar or rings. push yourself to the max on this one, and find your true max set. Either kipping pullups or dead hangs are allowed, but whichever you choose is the one you will be greasing the groove with, so keep that in mind.
Post your max reps pullups to comments.
LET THE FUN BEGIN!

Day 44 - Update on Health
Friday, December 19, 2008
As we draw to a close on the Challenge and the holidays, I want to comment on how proud I am of every who has stuck it out and seen great progress with tis challenge.
My goal of this challenge was to provide a supportive atmosphere for a common goal. unfortunately my health took me out early.
I have a deep seated infection in my sinuses and is the cause of my extremely weakened immune system. I go under the knife on Dec 23 to correct it. Keep on pushing guys! The journey is nearly complete.

Day 35
Wednesday, December 10, 2008
Day 35 of the challenge.
Sarah made a comment about the site not being updated. My health has been on a sharp decline, and this is the reason for my lack of updates. I have an AB resistant infection embedded in my sinuses and ears, causing all kinds of problems such as extreme pressure and pain, ruptured eardrums, coordination difficulties, and hearing loss. I have not done my push ups for the last 2 weeks, but If I am well before the end of the challenge....I have a lot of catching up to do!
I go to an ENT specialist on Monday, and hopefully we can find the cause of all of this.
I am proud of everyone for sticking through thus far, and Sarah.... YOU GO GIRL! You are an inspiration to us all.
