Ultradunc Jun 2020 3:08pm, 22 Jun 2020 11,865 posts	Quote Pin Ultradunc I have a chin up bar that rests on two sturdy hooks screwed into the wall so it’s high enough for a full chin up or pull up. Not heard of that routine Nellers sounds like a great challenge.

In fact he's got about as much as 2nd, 3rd and 4th combined. He must be built like a brick shithouse by now. Pecs like steel and triceps like iron.

flyingfinn Jun 2020 9:23pm, 23 Jun 2020 1,688 posts	Quote Pin flyingfinn Lol Dave! 😂 what you have to take into account is that I weight about the same as a malnourished sparrow, so it takes a lot of reps to shift any meaningful accumulated weight plus I'm doing so much cardio most of the time I think I burn off any muscle quicker than I can grow it 🙄 but my strength to weight ratio is improving and at my age that's what I'm really after. 😀
