I like the sound of this one!
Plus I can do it @ home – NO EXCUSES!
Injury means i’ll have to take a raincheck & try it in a week or two.
Are those gymnastics straps (don’t know what they’re really called?) that Zane has on in the photo effective for pull ups? What are the pros & cons?
Jess, I have the straps and after they’ve had a bit of a softening up they are quite good.
However, I still think you need to chalk as the straps only cover 2 fingers and as I learned during GI Jane (100 burpie pullups) the callouses that aren’t covered can quite easily open up.

Very tough, but happy I made it and didn’t scale. My midline stability when locking out overhead needs a little work, especially when knackered.
Would have been nice to have a workout partner to help push me along. At least next time I’ll have a time to beat!!
