Pullup challenge? My PB is 100 in 11 min 30 sec; this was back in the summer when I was fit (and a stone lighter), now I would struggle to beat 15 mins.
Just done this Animal, 10min 58secs for 100 heaves (chin-ups), to be honest caught me out as thought i'd just smash 10 sets of 10 every minute but have trained fair bit today.5 x 10 Overgrasp Heaves, 5K Row, Plyometric legs, press ups, ropes and abs.
Going to give that 300 a go tommorrow.
How are you with burpees? 100 in 7min 30sec?

I'm sure I'll be happy with it. The reason why I want a fingerboard is to strengthen my "crimping" and forearm strength for climbing.
Oh, I emailed the inventor of the bar. He said it was fine to put a fingerboard on it as per the picture and that putting squares of cloth or old socks over the bare areas was fine.
[quote=996 spsis it Burpees with a jump onto a bench or just the normal squat thrust with a jump?

Squat thrust with a jump, but go down into the bottom of a press-up before bringing the legs forward.
Will have to google this World Gym Challenge thingy!

Am now a fat b
d, put on 7 lbs in the last month to take me up to 14st 3 (I'm only 5'10) so my aim is to get fitter and lose weight.
I'm already familiar with the gym, so I know what needs to be done, its just having the willpower to do it, and say no to that chocolate biscuit / beer / wine.

Trousers have expanded from a 32" waist up to 36" over the last couple of years (married life lol).d, put on 7 lbs in the last month to take me up to 14st 3 (I'm only 5'10) so my aim is to get fitter and lose weight.I'm already familiar with the gym, so I know what needs to be done, its just having the willpower to do it, and say no to that chocolate biscuit / beer / wine.

Well, I decided to order it!
So did I. It arrived yesterday - very pleased with the quality. The door frame that I tried it on did creak rather ominously though
ETA: I have modified mine slightly by wrapping the bar with rubber - bit sore on the callouses otherwise.

This year I have a couple of aims.
I started an office job in the Autumn, having previously done very active employment.
I've already noticed a change, particularly due to the timing aswell ( before Christmas period).
My aim is not to turn into an office-fattie. I am very aware of how easy this could be.
2nd aim.
I am a very keen mountainbiker - but now my legs and aerobic fitness are held back by my core strength. To move onto the next level of cycling fitness, I need to do something more structred than just cycling a st load. I need to do something 'extra'.
3rd aim - related - my personal favorutie iteration of Dalby forest Red Route, in under 2 hours 20 minutes.
PB is 2hours 30, done over a year ago and its slipped a fair bit since.

Anyway, as they say, you snooze, you lose. The weather beat the courier driver so he couldn't deliver it today.
