Can You Pass the Pete and Bobby Fitness Challenge

I love everything about this.

I'm sure there's some leftist neckbeard retard in the comments whinging about "tHoSe ArEn'T fUlL rEpS", but fuck off. They're doing more than you.

And honestly, every reasonable fit dude should be able to do this - 10 Pushups & 5 Pullups every minute x 10 minutes and you're there. More than doable.

Also - you expect there to be some really in shape dudes that'd be able to knock this kinda thing out, but that girl that did it in 3 minutes & change was a stud.
 
For any of you guys that think you have the Pushups on lock but not the Pullups, try this:

Set a timer, watch a clock or whatever so you can EMOM (i.e. - do a new round at the start of every minute; your rest is the time between when you finish a round and the start of the next minute).

Do 5 Pullups, then immediately drop down & do 10 Pushups. Repeat EMOM x 10 minutes to get the desired numbers.

If you can't do 5 Pullups for 10 rounds, do them for as many rounds as you can, then drop to 4 per round, 3 per round, or whatever you can do.

If you can't do 5 Pullups at all, start with 4 Pullups per round, or 3 per round, or 2 round. Even if you can only do 1 per round.

If you can't do any Pullups at all, have a stool or step so you can step on it to get your chin over the bar, then lower yourself slowly for a count of 5. Then immediately drop down & do your 10 Pushups.

If you can't maintain the 10 Pushups every round, drop to 9 or 8 or whatever you have to do.

Repeat this for the aforementioned 10 rounds.

Do this at least M/W/F, if not M/T/Th/F. When you get in better shape, you can bump up to Mon-Fri.

As you get in better shape, start adding reps when you can.

If you can't do any Pullups in the beginning, you'll eventually be able to get 1 rep on your first set, then do negatives on the rest. Then you'll be able to do 1 rep on your first two sets...then your first three, then four sets...until you're doing 1 rep on all ten sets.

Then do 2 Pullups on your first set, then 1 on all the rest. Then 2 Pullups on your first two sets, then 1 on all the rest.

You get the idea.

Rinse & repeat and you'll be at the full 100 Pushups & 50 Pullups quicker than you think.

Luckily for you, I just gave you a step-by-step plan to fix that.

Go forth and suck at Pullups no longer.

Pushups... easy.

Pullups... nope. First set would be 7-8... but then would just keep falling.

You're a big dude, I can see that.
I have such long arms its a fight against the mechanics more than the weight for me with push ups, pull ups, press. My elbows take a beating.

Yeah... I prefer doing assisted pullups just due to being able to get in a better position. So even if its 5-10 lbs resistance, the machine still keeps me in a better position than just hopping over on the bars between cable stations.

What I would really enjoy, is finding a pullup bar with rotating handles... kinda of like the handles on the Prime pulldown and lat row machines. My elbow and shoulder mechanics feel MUCH more natural and better when able to supinate on the concentric and then slowly pronate on the eccentric.

I have one of those bungie things that hangs from the bar and you put your foot in it. It takes just enough of the weight to allow me to do them. I’m built weird: torso shaped like a barrel but shoulders are kind of narrow. Always had trouble with pull ups, rope climbs, etc.
