I do them without the band now you bastard!
I’m hoping that wasn’t directed at me. I didn’t choose the photo.
I chose it, nothing to be ashamed of.
I started out doing pullups with a band, couldn’t string together more than 10 pushups with nasty form and didn’t know what a burpee was (wish I still didn’t!)
All have to start somewhere.
Why is your arse wet McConnell????
Adam, you took the photo, and were paying me out a bit too.
Rachel, i think its just shadows…
But I guess we can make it clear, and Adam you can confirm this. I can now do consecutive ring dips without a band with decent form, and that photo is probably only 6 weeks old.
Why so serious baby!
Because I want it clear that i don’t have a dependency on bands unlike some people….
Well I can’t edit my post, but to be clear. I do not discourage the use of bands in development, as is clearly evident above and hold any gripes against those that use them. But my comments were a light hearted dig at Rachel who has an attachment to yellow band pullups when it is clear she can do them un-assisted if she took that leap.
Calm down pussy cat!!!!
U should sort her out at MMA this week McConnel.
Andrew, I doubt anyone really cares if you use a band or not. Performance and abilities are relative. If you’re using a band now fine, if you’re not fine too. The only problem is using assistance when it’s just not warranted. There has been no insinuation that this is/was the case. Keep your ego in check, try not to offend anyone else and relax…it’s just a bloody photo.
hahaha, my responses today are courtesy of bad food, not enough sleep and not enough time getting to know a good oly bar this week. I hate it
Thank you very much, and try the veal…
Ok Phil, i’ll be in tomorrow night.
I told you about that sand!
