I want to apologize to ED: This is my last post on this subject, I will keep it as STREND related as possible. By the way Dale Harder was very impressed...
hi matt just done my first PULL UP WORLD RECORD THE OTHER DAY AND IT IS ALREADY IN THE POST TO RALF. REGARDS STEVE. PS QUOTE of the day Few men have the...
Stephen, Right on way to go! Like I said the easiest one is the one hour (Guy Schott) I am still on my prediction to hold the three Pull up World records...
hi matt not sure about ratio all i know is i have never done pull ups till recently due to my shoulder ,but after the AWR split the records i did two large...
Stephen, I did not know until just recently that 644 was the official pull-up record, so actually I was planning an attempt. That would be very impressive...
Hi guys, It has been a while since I have posted and I see that everyone has been doing some cool stuff. So I have a question about just hanging from a bar. Is...
Greg Hi! How the heck are ya? I can't believe you are asking this question!!!! I just came from Dale Harder's place today and did 79 seconds (One arm hang)...
I got a session that involved a hang as one in a series of 10 that i used to win 5 national titles. 10 brilliant, testing circuit training sessions and...
Hi Matt, I am doing quite well thanks. I had a good triathlon season, and I am mainly running and lifting now. I was thinking of the two hand hang and yes I...
Good deal. Just got back from a 5K race. OK Greg, how do these rules sound? Rules: Two arm hang for time: 1. Straps, dowels, or substances other then chalk...
These rules make good sense. I had not considered a weight category. I wonder how much variability there would be with weight. What do you think the optimal...
Greg, Sorry yes, only your weight plus your own body weight added. Not adding DOUBLE your body weight. YIKES and you are right it would seem that the one hand...
What is your record? 6 minutes, 8 minutes or more? Did you switch grips or just shake out your arms occasionally?, what is your record for the Roscoe pull...
cant remember doing a max 2 handed hang, not sure i could match a good rockclimber, but the 5min hang and then 10 chins was one i remember. Certainly did 5...
Greg, rule #8 (no weight classes) Most likely just go for total hang time regardless of body weight. I believe age 40+ and competitors over 200 pounds will be...
http://www.ahafilm.info/movies/moviereviews.phtml?fid=7561 Almost seven minutes! Has to be the unofficial record until we get a copy of the show. (he lost by...
I reckon i could take 7 mins easily. I am light enough and have a crocodile grip, i will try tomorrow. What are the rules on releasing hands again to shake for...
You can shake out one arm at a time as long as you don't let go of the bar, touch the ground or get any assistance. The Two arm hang you have to pick one grip...
The only updates would be that don't worry about a formula, just go for total hang time, so you don't have to worry about weight classes. Although heavier...
I will post inquiries to several rock climbing groups. rock climbers do have very strong fingers strength, and endurance but they don't necessarily hang for...
Hi Guys, Matt I don't think we have met, my name is Gurjeet and I'm a fellow Strender from Sacramento. We may have met briefly a few years ago at the STREND...
Hi Gurjeet. I remember. You are a runner like me. The date would be April 12th. Still ironing out some Details, but I for one am looking forward to ...
Hi Matt Hope you all are well. Gurjeet and I ran into each other again up at the Syracuse STREND. He beat me, the little rascal!! We seem to be on opposite...
Good to hear from you Gurjeet. So I'm still waiting to hear back from Ed, but otherwise it's a go. We'll definitely want to market it so we can attract as many...
Hi guys. Hope all is well with you and that your training is going as planned. Matt, a little concern with that date from my part - that is the same day as UC...
I was hoping to gain some enlightenment from the STREND veterans about different training regiments. I had read Johns post about doing full run-thrus and that...
John, Your dips are still up there though but all you needed was one more dip to move into second overall. Heck I hope in 15 years to be able to match your...
