you son of a bitch i want one of those but christ they are expensive
My 2 rep max as of recently is with bw+135. I couldn’t do that a couple months ago, but then again, since then I’ve lost 18 lbs I’m sitting at about 189 lbs now.
I’d love to get a one arm chin/pullup going on. I recently started one arm negatives… hard as hell!

When you start playing around with it and realize all the stuff you can do it is worth the 300 bucks. Keep an eye on EliteFTs, and snatch one up when they do one of their “Free shipping” offers.

Seconded.
As for chins, I can lift 45 lbs x 2 at a body weight of 200.

My back is weak, so I do sets of ten with assistance from the…machine. I could probably do sets of four or five with bodyweight at the beginning of my workout, but that would just screw up everything to follow.[/quote]
Doing chins as the main part of your upper body workout isn’t a bad variation. Don’t be afraid to try it sometime.
10 reps at 210 with a 45 plate 4 years ago and 20 reps at 240 6 weeks ago. Most I’ve done is 33reps at 180. I think thats all wide grip with my hands 3 feet apart. I’ve been doing pull ups longer than I’ve been lifting weights. My lats are a good size just need to cut some fat off my ass now:(

shit hagar, your lifts always impree me. I’d be surprised if i could get 8 reps at 240lbs lol.
170 + 85lb Dumbbell for 3 Reps. That was in October. I’m 175 now. My Bent Over Row and Pulldown Numbers have gone up since then by 30 or 40 pounds and I haven’t done any Pull-ups because it’s currently a pain in the ass and cheating on the Pulldown Machine and being a total douche IS a lot of fun and makes you feel like a man. I’m holding off until after Christmas when I get my Spud-Brand, Bright Yellow, EliteFTS purchased Dip Belt to find my new Pull-up and Dip Numbers.
