Just get your chin above the bar at least when you're doing these. Break the plane and fully extended at the bottom too- I can't stand half reps of pull-ups...or of anything really lol.

Well, I cant lie... I couldn't crack 335 LBS today & think it's possible my Work out of lateral's over the weekend could be the cause as I may not have been fully rested. I may try again next week...
I think I can I think I can I think I can........

You'll get it next time !
Madonna always makes me get my pullups.
Ok. you know you're tall. But your starting point needs your chin above the "bar" so do a lil jump and get yourself up there. Then "walk the plank" with knees bent (probably like you would for dips) and voila. Once you're all the way down, you then have my permission to put your feet down
I hope that video was a joke tho. lol
So I did the rest of my 1RM testing, and it's nothing like my deadlift but, I got 140lb bench (Alllllmost bodyweight!), 100lb Overhead Press, and 155lb Front Squat. My old squat was 115lb so I'm very happy with this improvement. I've had a horrible time trying to squat the last 3-4 years because of an ongoing ankle injury, but it's seems to have finally subsided.
And yesterday I pushed a 580lb prowler (weighted sled) 20 yards. That was pretty cool. I've never felt like barfing after ANYTHING so this was a new experience lol. I didn't actually but, that's the closest I've been.

I was looking at those headphones, you like them? Any complaints ?
No complaints.... I have owned them for about a year. They have been through a LOT & still work great like the day I bought them. I can talk on the phone, listen to music, ect. Volume controls, mute button, pause, stop, play, fast forward, rewind...
For the 50-60 bucks, I suggest buying them...

Hey, it was my first time lol... The other movements I know but this is new to me.. Ok, I need to start off higher with chin over bar... OK, will try again soon... It sure seemed like I was higher when I was doing them lol... Then I saw my own video and was like wtf LOL
haha ok ok I'll ease off on ya
But a good benchmark is getting your shoulders to touch your hands...if those are in the same area, you're gettin your chin above the bar lol.Deadlift 315 LBS
Ok, im doing my best on form but know I have a lot of work to do. Trying to get my hips low is just difficult for my tall body.From here, my posted videos will be at higher & higher weights on the dead lift. And yes, my shorts are split in the rear lol..

Bar Bell Shrugs - 315 LBS - 10 Reps - Ugly Form..... but still lol...

And here is my first attempt at 405 LBS on the Bar Bell shrugs... This is considered a fail because I could not get high enough to be considered a full rep, although I was able to lift the bar.

i can rep 110s for 6 on incline, but cant crack 300 barbell for the life of me :wtfgun:
Another of Anthony's Fails for your amusement...
I learn from fails so am not ashamed of them...
Deadlift, 365LBS FAIL: My Hips were not low enough so while I have the strength as I have done this weight before I wasn't able to push through thus I fell forward, with 365LBS in my hands! Lesson Learned: Lower my hips even more & go more sumo stance or even staggered grips at these higher weights. At almost 7 feet tall, form is very important to succeed. Hopefully my next fail is 100LBS heavier than this...
