    Got a good 'un for ya. Get some rope (or a strong towel and knot it up) tie it to your chin up bar and sit on the floor under the bar with your legs straight out in front of you. Next pull yourself up hand over hand a few knots then stop and do as many chins as you can (try keep your legs straight or pull them in towards your chest and hold them there) before moving up a few more knots and repeating(climb/chins/climb/chins) until you can grab the bar. do as many chins as you can before dropping off the bar. Its a proper **** this :yep

    It is mate yeah, but its good to mix in stuff like this here and there. Dont worry about doing **** as its designed to be a ******* anyway. It was one of the methods used to help the lads who wasnt strong enough to climb the 30ft ropes, after a few weeks of this they were flying up. Everything gets a battering, arms,chest, core, shoulders, grip etc. its a **** but worth adding here and there just to shake up your training a little.

    Looking good mate, i see your doing everything in 300's now. You still using the pyramids yeah?

    Yeah I'm using the pyramids, I've switched to doing everything in multiples of 3 as I worked out if you get to 30 (just 1 set at 30) and back down it is 300. I'm not planning on going any higher than this at the moment, I'd rather start making things harder than adding reps, I'll get some rope when I get paid this week. I will keep adding reps to the chins and pull ups hopefully up to 100.

    I'm definitely getting stronger, I was watching the dating show "Take me out" on Saturday night and as his party piece this poser maxed out at 21 reps for 1 arm press ups, my missus started taunting me that he was way stronger than me I've never done them before but I dropped down and banged out 22 - that shut the ***** up:lol:

    I bet it did yeah, nice 1 mate :lol: Nice when you see definate results aint it.

    As for the pyramids, thats the trick to it (as with any training) finding what works for you, and it sounds like you've definately done that. Keep it up mate :good

    Couldn't get going last week had no motivation so decided to have a break. The only thing I did was max out on pull ups, I did 12 reps. I'll try to get back into it this week.

    Wed 2nd Feb

    4 rounds heavy bag
    4 rounds shadow
    200 press ups
    200 crunches

    Cut back a bit on the bodyweight reps as I felt really flat last week after getting up to 300. I just couldn't get going but now I feel rested and ready to kick on.

    Haven't managed to get hold of any rope yet for my chin up bar, might try Ebay.

    I'm lacking in motivation lately, so for the next week or two I am going to keep running and cycling but not do any boxing or circuits. I'm going to use some of the advice I have had on here, take a look through the training forum and maybe get a few books out from the library and make a few varied routines before I start up again.
