The Gymnast Pull-Up Routine


Here's how it works:

  • Do pronated (hands facing away from you), shoulder-width pull-ups. Stop 2-3 reps short of failure. Rest 10 seconds.
  • After the 10 seconds of rest, move your hands in (4-6 inches apart) and perform pronated, close-grip pull-ups. Again, stop a couple of reps shy of failure. Rest 10 seconds.
  • Now switch your hands into a supinated position (hands facing you) and use a shoulder-width grip. Stop just short of failure and rest 10 seconds.
  • Finally, move to the close-grip supinated position and perform reps to just short of failure.
  • Rest 3 minutes and do the whole cycle again.
  • After 4 weeks, perform the full cycle 3 times.

Max V02 Test…

Decided to try a Max VO2 Walk Test again. This time with a 20lb vest. 


I did a timed mile walk. 20lb vest  


Today…

12:54 seconds

Finishing HR = 151

Max vo2 score: 40.0

Rating: Excellent


Last time - 3/6/25 (no vest):

12:45 seconds 

Finishing HR = 145

Max vo2 score: 41.3

Rating: Superior 


Only 9 seconds slower and almost  the same score WITH a 20lb vest as without. Winning! 


I guess all the stupid shit I do works!
