    Swear? "Crap?" Sorry.

    But that partial reps stuff is crap, so I deemed it necessary.

    BL, why are you always so full of ****? . We all know how not only are you the smartest person in the world, but the fittest and strongest as well. 100 pullups is probably very rare, male or female. You would require very particular body characteristics with excellent endurance capabilities. I'm not saying you can't do it, but I am saying that in general, like Iron says, girls can't do even 1 pullup. Most girls at gyms the closest they'd come is lat pulldowns, and they'd put 1 or 2 (max 5) 5kg plates on and do a couple of sets of 12 reps. Now I'm not saying all girls do that, but I would guess of all women in all gyms worldwide, upwards of 90% would. That's of course based on my limited experience. In 5 or 6 years of regular gym training I don't think I ever saw a girl do a pullup and I don't think I ever saw a girl do a lat pulldown with anywhere near bodyweight. Now I'm guessing you already know this and you're just using this thread as an opportunity to tell us all how great you are.

    Most guys can't even do one pullup.

    I don't think anyone's ever done 100 in one set before, male or female.

    If I were to try that I'd make someone else count for me. I'd be concentrating so hard on the pullups I'd be like "56, 57, ::gasps:: 58, ::gasps:: um... um... crap... um... 17, 18..."

    Or I'd be like

    1, 2 skip a few, 99, 100. (remember that from playing hide and seek as a kid?)

    It is now complete. My bumper plates came today and I got a radio over the weekend. Sweet. Now it's time to shed some fat. I've blown up to 7.8% BF over the past few weeks!

    Oh & lol @ 100 pull-ups. I think she had to be talking about push-ups.

    toby..my own personal troll...I'm honoured ..truly

    Iron...you're right..half anything is bs...do it properely or don't bother counting it as anything but prep training for some real work......I don't know about today , cause to be honest I'm having trouble finding hanging space for my bag and am in the proccess of finding a door hinged pull-up bar..but not long ago I could easily pump out 20/30 rep sets x whatever time I had...I'll need to work back up to it...but this is standard....as is my 500 shooting for 1000 pushups...I just like to work ...so sue me and call me mad...

    Trolls usually are associated with false information. i.e. They post something contentious with the intent of inflaming people. Unfortunately you seem to have me mixed up with someone who posts false information. Inflaming you? Maybe. Insofar as I post the correct and you post ****. Does anyone else think that 100 pullups is trivial besides you? Didn't think so.

    If you can do 100 pullups straight I'll see you in the Guiness Book of World Records.

    IF -- the set of 100 would be more like:

    42 ... gasp ... 43 ... gasp ... 44 *riiiiip**pop* *thump**thump**thump*

    at least you'll know what those bugs felt like when you tore their wings off when you were a kid.
