Chin-up Challenge Week #2
The Challenge
Complete the most unassisted chin ups.
I challenge all of you who currently cannot complete a single unassisted chin up to see who can do the most unassisted chin ups by March 22, 2008. It is important that you currently cannot complete a single unassisted chin up.
How do you get involved?
Leave a comment letting me know you want to be involved. I will post an entry outlining my plan for how to accomplish some unassisted chin ups and in that entry will be the list of people interested in joining the challenge.
What is involved?
Starting on Sunday, December 23, 2007 (80 days from the end of the challenge), I will begin a weekly post regarding the challenge. Each of you should provide me (via email) your current progress regarding chin ups. I will post this every Sunday for all the world to see.

Michael, I have honestly not pushed myself to get this started. I will this week for sure. I plan on buying a chinup bar to put up at home and do "assisted" pullups at home. so check back with me later to check up on me to make sure I got that chin up bar.

Hi Michael,
Sorry to be so late in getting my data in. Am not having much luck with chinups. I do them at home, so found that can pull myself up getting under my treadmill, but otherwise, am still not able to do much of anything. Am working on my arm strength and occasionally get under my bar and pull...not easy.

Hi Michael sorry I haven't updated. I am going to be doing assisted pull-ups this week. I haven't started yet because I haven't been to the gym for uper body in about 2weeks. I'll update you after this week.
