    1,000 Pull-ups In 1 Day For Charity

    In an effort to fund-raise $1,000 in a day for Nationwide Children's Hospital, I pledged I would do 1,000 pull-ups. The pull-ups were broken into 3 sessions of approx. 330 pullups. I also tallied over 500 pushups throughout the day in an effort to balance out all of the pulling movements. The...

    After more than 3 years doing only cardio because of a shoulder injury today I manage to do 8 pull ups, I never though I´d be able to do it again

    Like the title said just a bit of a celebration. I was always very active, football as a kid (soccer if you like) then swimming, then water polo for 6 years. In my adult life I did mostly swimming or gym. About 4 years ago I had a shoulder injury, it hurt a lot and I only tried to treat it...

    Is 100g protein enough to gain muscle compared to a higher amount?

    For context, I am 20, F, around 125lbs and weight train 4 days a week for roughly an hour each session. I am wanting to create a protein goal that I can stick to and landed on 100-120g each day, which I have already been practicing. (My plan is to consume 120g on the days I train and 100ish on...

    Can you make good gains with like 6-7 hours of sleep as a beginner?

    My siblings are not humans, they're literal orcs so I can only get like 6 hours of sleep on a school night, whereas I can get like 7-8 if I'm lucky. I'm a very light sleeper. My brain is basically programmed to get up by half 8 on the very latest lol. But I heard you need to be consistent...

    Data showing that +70% weighted chinup = OAC

    In June @cbsmel did a survey on whether users here can do an OAC and how much weight they can add in a normal 2-armed pullup. Now @trupo26 has persuaded him to release the data, so here's my analysis! Edit: OAC is short for "one-armed chinup". 11 guys report a full OAC and weighted pullup 1RM...

    Diamond pushups use more chest than wide pushups (from a study that also examined standard, pseudo-planche and simplified Lalanne pushups)

    Note: the point of this post is not that diamond pushups are the ultimate chest exercise, but that wide pushups on the floor are overrated and many exercises are better than them for chest growth. I often see people repeating the broscience (BS) that wide pushups are the best for chest and that...

    Cheaper alternatives to B-bars?

    I've heard these are quite good (https://baseblocks.de/pages/b-bars), but honestly I feel like I'm missing something, because they seem very expensive for what is essential a couple of metal bars. Can anyone recommend any cheaper (but still viable) alternatives? Or are these really the best...

    Any ab wheels that force correct posture? Maybe I should switch to ab roller?

    I have been using a basic ab wheel for over a year, but I don't think it's doing much for me because I don't have the correct posture that puts the focus on my abs. I'm hoping there's another product out there that positions your arms, elbow, or anything else correctly to force the correct...

    I made a map of over 100 outdoor gyms and pull up stations throughout the U.S.A. Help me add more

    The map includes any place I could find that had at least a pull up bar. However, some of these places are full blown gyms with stationary bikes, ellipticals, ladders for flags, and parallel bars as well. I hope ya’ll will find this as useful as I do. If you live in New York City you can find...
