First of all, Happy Thanksgiving!
I gotta haul ass and help get the kids ready since we’re taking a 2 hr trip north to Pa. at my wife’s Aunt & Uncle. Oughtta be some crazy times and I may even get to watch some Football!
My wife’s Aunt makes a mean peanut butter – hershey kiss cookie, ever have them, they kill! ha ha
As mentioned about 6 weeks ago, I spread word about an Underground Pull Up Contest.
I’ve seen some vids from our friends here ranging from 32 all the way to 50.
Who got 50? Mike Guadango from Joe DeFranco’s Gym – the kid is a beast and a hell of a Baseball player!
Mike Rojas, owner of Strong 101 Gym, part of the first ever certified USC Coaches, out in So Cal – the dude loves strength and has a killer set up, just opened a few months ago!
Below you’ll see my vid and some thoughts on pull ups in general.
Pull Ups should be eaten for breakfast in my opinion.
Men under 200 lbs should be able to hit 20 reps minimum.
Why aren’t there enough varisty athletes even able to hit 10 reps?
This pisses me off and there is too much time spent on the bench press and not enough squats, deadlifts, pull ups and the like.
Reply with a link to your Underground Pull Up Video and tell me your thoughts on the state of pull ups amongst others.
Have the best Thanksgiving ever!
I am grateful that you read my articles, watch my blog and believe in what I do.
Thanks from the bottom of my heart, I live for this stuff!
Kill it!

PS: Last year, on Thanksgiving, I had pneumonia! I was sitting on the couch wiped out with fever and chills. I am grateful for my health because without our health, we have Nothing!

I had just finished a phone call with Joe DeFranco and he was telling me how Mike “the Asshole” Guadango was regularly doing heavy, HEAVY 1 rep sets for pull ups and recline rows with over 100 lbs at times.
These HEAVY sets helped him kill which is why “The Asshole” rocked a 50 rep set of pull ups!
Plus, last time I checked, the only way you can get stronger is by putting more weight on the “bar”.
Jack it up!

PS: Just had a beastly crew of guys come to The Underground Strength Gym for the USC Certification. They got the home study course and can now spread the Underground method on how to build athletes who posses brute strength and lightning fast speed.
This is where you can get our system for yourself:
