So my two "running buddies" decided to try the 100 pull up workout today in the gym (unbeknownst to me) and this is what Russ told me when they got back:
Russ: We gave the 100 pull ups a try today.
Me: Did you do 100?!
Russ: Well, we got about halfway through and gave up.
Me: You did 50 pullups! That's awesome!
Russ:....Ok we got a quarter of the way.... :/
me: 25! Well that's pretty good. Did you do dead hang?
Russ: Yeah. We did sets of 3's and 4's and after about 10 minutes we pretty much were done.
Me: You've got to learn to "cheat"!
I told him he'd probably have done better doing singles but something tells me they'd not have made a hundred. Not because I'm better than they are, just that they are not doing pullups every other day. My recovery time is 1000 times better than even 6 months ago.
Then I told him about doing the Murph lite workout. I don't know if he'll try crossfit though. We'll see. Those two are definitely like dogs looking at a stranger with a bone. They Want the bone, not sure about the guy who's holding it.

i had the same thing at work.
a mate thought he would try it and managed to get to 54 before giving up. he started with a set of ten then down to singles at the end. and he moaned like a wee girl about how sore his arms were for DAYS!!!
hahaha!
One of them didn't even WANT to tell me they tried. I was glad they tried.
I only harass them because I want them to TRY it. Not to humiliate them, though that part is fun, too.
