Weighted Pullup/Chinup workout today….

Started off by warming up the upper body with the bench. I hit a relatively easy PR with 335 lbs (still feeling weak from the flu and hitting bench yesterday).

The weighted pullups/chinups all felt pretty good, so hopefully it won’t take me too long to hit my goal of 5 reps with 100 lbs.

Another goal of mine is to be able to do a Muscle Up. So, I used some band assistance at the end of the workout to practice those. I need to try these on a straight bar, as my bar bends in at the middle so I have nothing to muscle up to. I’ll try it at the park next time…

I finished the workout how I started it….on the bench. I wanted to see if I could hit 10 reps with 3 plates (315 lbs) with one breath. It wasn’t too bad actually…a fun little test.

Thanks for watching…

Did a little bench to warm up the upper body before my back workout and I hit a new 9-rep PR with 320 lbs (I think I have 10 reps in me on a chest day). My old PR was 8 reps with 320 lbs back in Nov ‘09.

I posted the wide-grip pullups to help keep my honest in doing these….I told myself that I was going to focus more on incline’s and back in 2010. So, this is the starting point. I suck at pullups at the moment, which is exactly why I need to do them! My goal is bodyweight (BW) plus 100 lbs x 5 reps.
