    my coworker and i bet a lot of money that the other couldn't hit 15 pull ups unbroken within the next week
    my max is 13
    how do i get to 15 reps as fast as humanly possible??
    i cannot afford to lose this money but a bet is a bet
    >>
    Definitely possible with a max of 13 reps on your own. Just having an audience you might be able to do it on the day.

    First session:
    10, 30s rest, 9, 30s rest, 8, 30s rest.
    Other exercise/some time later using a strong band(-10kg to 15kg) or assisted pull up machine(-10kg):
    2x18(normal sets). You should have 1-2 in reserve.
    That's 5 sets total for the day first day.

    Rest day:
    2x6. One set early on in the day, the other later on. Yes, it's meant to be super easy, don't do more.

    Second session:
    11, 40s rest, 10, 40s rest, 9, 40s rest.
    Other exercise/some time later using a strong band(-10kg to 15kg) or assisted pull up machine(-10kg):
    2x19(normal sets). You should have 1-2 in reserve.

    Rest day:
    2x7. One set early on in the day, the other later on. Shouldn't feel like you did anything other than refresh your brain on the movement.

    Final session:
    8, 20s rest, 8, 20s rest, 8, 40s rest.
    Other exercise/some time later using a strong band(-15kg) or assisted pull up machine(-15kg):
    2x20(normal sets). You should have 2-3 in reserve.

    On the day before eat and sleep very well. On the challenge day eat lightly. I wouldn't be surprised if you got 16 reps. Let me know how you go.

    saw off your legs, being light weight trumps strength when it comes to doing monkey shit

    Pretend like you have to lift a heavy car off of a baby

    I fucking hate this place now.

    >>77588149
    Imagine yourself 50 pounds lighter than you actually are when you start your reps. Mind over matter!
    >>
    >>77588149
    Put a pull-up bar where you spend most of your time and do like 8 every hour or so. Its called greasing the groove.
    >>
    >>77588581
    This. It's nervous system adaptation that will be more effective at utilizing more muscle fibers.
    >>
    Caffeine and painkillers.
    >>
    do whatever you can to lose as much weight as possible w/o withering away
    >>
    >>77588149
    In the military we always progressed by going to failure then doing negatives. Get someone to grab your legs and lift you up when you can’t do anymore and you use all your strength to come down as slow as you can
    >>
    Make your grip closer it makes the arms contribute a lot more
    >>
    Only possible way is to find ways to improve the efficiency of your technique. Also make sure youre in a good breathing pattern, its gas for the tank and most people dont know how to breathe properly when theyre working out
    >>
    fuck i tried today and only got 11
    i think i'm screwed fellas
    >>
    is the only way forward to just fast entirely for the next 3 days and pray to god i'm recovered in time? will grease the groove have an effect in such a short time or will it ruin my recovery?
    i have until next monday, so 94 hours from now.
    >>
    >>77589288
    can the other guy do it? probably not
    do some weighted ones so normal ones feel easy
    >>
    >>77589325
    he told me he can do 18 pull ups but i think he's bluffing, hence why i made the bet. he's the kind of guy to playfully lie about things like that. he's not huge but he has some noticeable back muscles which makes me worry.
    i did a few singles with 20kg earlier this week, at 72-73kg bw, that's my max while still getting my chin over the bar and not kipping.

    >>77588149
    How much money?

    >rest days for pullups
    lmao
    >>
    >>77588949
    That works in a long term. Won't matter for 1 week.
    >>
    >>77588949
    that works if you are actually high test enough to recover or on roids
    >>
    >>77588149
    Just cheat, do half REPs with Crossfit form. They're only coworkers
    >>
    >>77588946
    Any meaningful weight you could lose in 1 week is going to hurt your strength and energy tremendously, do not starve yourself

    lies, that's basically all that matters for pullups beside basic strenght
    losing 2 kilos doing shit like cleaning entire house or pushing lawn mower for couple hours over the week would absolutely do the trick
    remember to take shoes off xD

    and of course REST, do ZERO PULLUPS pushups or whatever you consider "lifting"
    >>
    >>77589793
    This is the only good advice.

    >>77588149
    Look up “greasing the groove”.
    Load up on creatine.
    Also, the day of the bet, megadose on caffeine.

    Also…
    Me fucking this woman in OP’s pic doggystyle as I admire her lats

    Methamphetamine, followed by shrooms (after work) so you dont get addicted.
    >>
    >>77589793
    Literally. Pull-ups are the easiest to cheat on and it's nearly impossible to detect by people who aren't pull-up specialists. It's why I never trust DYEL idiots who tell me they do 30 ''''''''strict'''''''' pullups. Even cutting your reps short 3 cm before the bottom will greatly increase max pullups. Very slight swinging of the feet to get a bit of momentum. Stuff like that. Honestly the coworker will probably start unapologetically kipping right off the bat, so who gives a fuck.
    >>
    Do 87 pull ups today
    Rest 1 day
    Then do 87 again
    Easy
    >>
    >>77589151
    this + tuck your elbows into your back pocked and squeeze push your hands towards each other when you pull.
    >>77589340
    >18 pull-ups
    Like… shitty half pulls with bad form or strict ones from dead hang?
    >>
    Make him go first then if he does less than 15 you win automatically and if he does 15 he will be tired and you can beat him up and take the money
    >>
    dont go first no matter what or he will wait and beat you up
    >>
    make him go first so you actually see what he considers "pull ups", if he does shitty half rom and protests your protests, then you know you're free to also do shitty half rom yourself
