Yep. And difference between knurled bar vs smooth bar there at the end with and without the chalk.

Maybe I’ll pick up a jar of spider tack and have my wife find me breaking the world record for the dead hang many hours later, shoulders popped out and all.

Leader position by score!
No…I’m dropping to the 250s though
or wherever I end up shredded lol.It is, and it’s a cool change of pace from what I’m used to. Sometimes just lifting things bets boring so being able to work towards a different fitness goal is cool.
It's on!Leader position by score!

I like/terrified of that scary place to make you feel alive. Like passing the 10 min plank mark and staring into one's soul.

One of the things I loved so much about when I was an endurance athlete. That place in a race when every single other thought fades away and it’s just you, each step, and pain.

(Won't happen anytime soon, moved to a new country and started a new job which is what I wanted but is.. Challenging to say the least)
But I still train, not as much as I would love to right now, but still keeping those muscles!

Alright gentlemen.
So decided to get very clean bloods today as a baseline for some experiments I’m running as a judge of kidney and liver health. 3 rest days running into bloods, and a full 5 days since my last pull exercise.
Light warm up, nothing but the hang, no chalk. Quite knurled bar though this time which definitely helped quite a bit.
189 seconds x 219 / 1000 for a grand total of 41.31.
If I had to guess about 1/3rd of the improvement was rest, 1/3rd was the bar, 1/3rd was just doing a hang each workout. (Not peer reviewed data)

For the record - I was trying to completely the entirety of Take On Me by a-ha, just under 4 minute long song. Sadly didn’t make it.

Thank you sir. Looking forward to some other folks breaking it. My forearms are still kind of aching from it. Yanked the - erm, uh, I mean, did back day yesterday and still felt it.
