OK, before we roll with the videos, a quick announcement.
The Lost Secrets of Strength Development Seminar sold out in 48 minutes!
Action takers andĀ passionate iron junkies moved asap while procrastinators have been sending in e mails and making phone calls with hopes of bribery - NO such luck š
The world wide pull up contest that was announced has REALLY fired some people up.
The trash talkin' is definitely ON!
The freaks are OUT!
The Rules needed some clarification so we'll get really tight here:
1) Chin must clear the bar
2) Overhand grip
3) NO kipping
4) Weight classes: over / under 205 lbs
5) Categories: Men / Women. Women have one weight class, sorry š
6) Friday, November 14th all videos must be submitted via response to a blog post I will be making on November 14th. Simply include your link via you tube with the video title being 'Underground Pull Up Contest with ___________ (your name).
7) Have FUN! I hope I didn't need to list # 7, but some people cry and complain about everything. Just have fun and look to break your records.
OK, now, Joe DeFranco sent me two videos, and man am I hyped like a mofo! I don't think I have been this hyped since watching the WPO at The Arnold 2 years ago!
Watch these 2 videos, and, do NOT be discouraged, instead, be Motivated and aim to Kill it more than ever!
Ā
If you're not fired up now, more than ever, then check your pulse!
It's time to Kill it!

-Matt
so are we supposed to just make one video on november 14th or do you want a baseline vid and then the final cut on 11/14???
Andrew
you can do either or bruddah, it’s all in good fun, the baseline will motivate you, so make sure you do a baseline even if you do not take the video brother.
Matty Holmes is gonna kill. I believe Mike G has the record for pull ups at Joe D’s gym, t might be just shy of 50 reps!
Impressive but the big guy needs to go ALL the way down! What I consider a pull up is ALL the way down and ALL the way up. Also looked to me like the lighter guy was kipping toward the end.
gene – “the big guy” wasn’t going all the way down, but he doesn’t care…he’s all about the “pump” haha!! And the “lighter guy” definitely WAS kipping…Guadango is the KING OF THE KIP!! HAHA!! But, remember that we were doing weighted chins that day and we just threw in the bodyweight set at the end for fun. Rest assured, our “official sets” for the contest will be strict…and impressive!!!
The dude in that first video is a monster – lol
Wuz up underground Sean is in the building:):) Yeah I’m going to put up my vid before the weekend is out believe that. I give both of those guys mad props. They are strong no matter how you slice it, but there are rules to this contest so we have to stick to them. Kill it fellas
Joe D,
Your boys were killin those chain pull ups I was a little scared! haha Cant wait to see the videos
Female.
Baseline – 3 pullups.
Think I can get up to 10 by Nov. 14th?? Did my sets this morning!
Yo Zach,
Looks like Guadango is going to be entering BOTH weight classes HA!! He’s about 202/203 right now so this could get interesting HAHA!!
I may have to gain a couple of pounds and go for the 205 lbs and KILL IT!
