Pull ups total : 25

Sit ups in a minute : 40, I ran out of time before I felt tired at all... I dont know how to do them faster.

1.5 mile time : I have no idea, about 3 years ago I did a mile and got 6:30... but thats when I played soccer a lot more.

As soon as your shoulders hit the floor surge up right away, like it's hot or something...


Also try to fully extend your arms on pull ups, you shouldn't be getting more than 20, unless you take roids or something

Oh and on press ups if you're going down, chest to floor, that's a great score!

I'm damn short (5'4") and I workout pretty much everyday...  Being short makes pull-ups and pushups a lot easier.

I have a feeling a lot of you are full of shit. I have been doing pullups almost every day for about a year, and it is fucking HARD to get 15 in a row. Stop doing it like a pussy or quit lying. I'm 5'10", 140 lbs.

nah, it's basically a bit of a trade-off. in exchange for being shorter than a weiner dog, you get superhuman pullup skills

I have been doing them since my Marine Corps days 12 years ago and I am not full of shit. Palms forward (back and shoulders) 16, palms inwards (biceps) I can do 12. There is such a thing as a fit 30 year old ya know.

Thanks for proving my point. I was referring to the people who say they can do > 20.

Well there was a time when I could. In the Marines but that was when we did them every day and I probably will never see those days again. I exercise 3 times a week still but 20 pull ups would take a LOT of dedication to just pull ups and honestly I probably couldnt get there again. I would say I am in great shape and I struggle for my 16.

btw, palms forward is easier because the weight is distributed through out your back, rather than your biceps with your palms inwards. It seems harder because the motion is counter intuative to the normal motions of your arms in relation to your center mass, but once you get used to it palms forward is easier.

My biceps are a lot stronger than my shoulders, though. My 17 were half-down, full down I could probably manage 8-10 tops. When the marines come though with their pull-up bar, they say to go half. My dad, who was in the airforce, says it's full down, palms outwards.

I can do about 10 palms out, palms in I dunno but they are so much easier. I'm going to see how many press up's I can do in a minute tomorrow I'm still feeling a little rough. What about dips then does anyone do them here? I actually don't count my pull-ups or dips I just do them until I can't possibly get another one out.

I disagree. I can do more with my palms facing me than with my falms facing forward. Maybe that's because I also do a lot of curls?

Well, you also only weigh 140 lbs don't forget.  I am long and weigh 250 lbs so there is much more weight to move, and a greater distance to move it rather than distributing weight through my back and shoulders which means my muscles won't fatigue as fast. I gurantee you if you practiced going palms forward you could do more. Like I said, it SEEMS harder but once you get used to working your back more you will do more. Also, remember that most guys don't work their back or legs. When I first started lifting I was all about bi's, tri's, chest and abs so I could get laid more. When I started getting more serious I realized that legs and back are so crucial to a total fit body. Once you get your back strong and lean every thing else kind of falls into place.

Back and soulders tip:

-Find out what your max weight is for 10 shrugs

- minus 50 lbs from that and do 20 shrugs

- stop, add 5 lbs and do 19 shrugs

- add 5 lbs, do 18

- etc, keep adding 5 and do one less until you down to your last shrug

- Do the last shrug with your max weight and HOLD it as long as you can.

- Intense, you should be burning and if you do that routine twice a week you will have great shoulder strength in a few months.

I only have 30 lb. dumbbells.

Christmas is coming, ask for some weights maybe. Or a gym pass perhaps?
