Not bad for a skinny guy of 160lbs

dam! Pull ups w/ 100 lbs?!?!? I could never do that! and at 160!?!?!? You sir are the shizzle!
I have lotz-o-work to do!
good job, brotha!

Thanks Burner

Pulls are the only exercise that I can really shine at ... thus I look forward to back day

Burner02 · 06-22-2004, 12:09 PM

I used to, bud! Gotta get back into it. a couple years ago, when I was starting to get my pul ups goinjg. (55 lbs for 6 reps...) a bit less than yours...I dinked up my tendons and couldn't lift..still baby my bis...don't want that pain again....
when ya gonna take new pics to show off the wall of mass that is representing you back?

naturaltan · 06-22-2004, 12:22 PM

... pics??

... I have nothing worthy of pics.

naturaltan · 06-22-2004, 12:23 PM

... how much mass can there be at a measley 160lbs (after finishing off a pizza and beer)?

Burner02 · 06-22-2004, 12:26 PM

if you are pulling up your BW PLUS 60% or more of your BW..then ya gotz ta have some mass, bud!

naturaltan · 06-22-2004, 12:39 PM

hhmmm ... what you see in the avi is what you get. I just have a strong back I guess. Or maybe my technique is using too much of my 13 inch arms

I did have a friend critique my form on the db bentover pull ups and he said I looked in good form. He's bigger than I and only used 90lb dbs.

Maybe I could get someone with a vid camera to take a vid of me doing a couple pull ups.

I have no desire to be massive. It will hinder my pool game.

This year I have to really put the boots to some folks around here.

Burner02 · 06-22-2004, 12:42 PM

13" arms hanging, cold..right? don't be bashful. I duno if I will ever be able to do a pull up w/ that much weight. One can hope tho!

naturaltan · 06-22-2004, 12:47 PM

I have no idea of what my arm size is ... I was just joking around. It doesn't matter to me what size they are, just that when I take my shirt off, I see a six pack and ladies talk to me at the pool/beach/club ... etc.

Ah ... you can see where my priorities lye. I've said it once, I'll say it again, I'm a vain guy.

For me, it's all about how I think I look while lounging around.

I've always done my pullups using a wide grip. Next week I'll move the grip in a bit and see what I can do. I many be able to add another 10-15lbs ...

... for one rep.

Burner02 · 06-22-2004, 12:50 PM

see? I've got a six pack..it is just shoved into the back ofthe fridge right now...

If I cold eve get out of these frigin 12 hr shifts...I could do my cardio...
of course, now tha i am single, I do not have to rush thru the workout and skip cardio to get somehwere...

naturaltan · 06-22-2004, 01:02 PM

12 hours shifts might make it a tad difficult to gather up some energy.

I know my body well enough that I can alter my diet (read that as eating propely) after a wekeend of beers to ensure that the 6 pack sticks around.

It's a wonder what a few beers and pizza can do ...

If I eat properly for the next week after a party weekend, I can usually stave off the fat content. When the week of eating properly doesn't work, then I'll be forced to reduce my weekend intake (which might prove difficult with the advent of hot summer temps coming).

ncgirl21 · 06-22-2004, 01:49 PM

naturaltan · 06-22-2004, 02:41 PM
