Overall Goal: My previous goal of 40 pull-ups by my 55th birthday was missed. I did 39 3 days before and 38 ON my birthday. I'll continue until I hit the mark.
I'm pretty good at pull-ups, but my best accomplishment is marrying LBW7454!

Take a look at my Pull-up Video, below. Can you match it or even beat it? Let me know!

Goal (Long):
I began at age 46 with one set of 6 reps. Currently, I can do 3 sets of 20-25 with a max of 33 in Jan 2009. On 7-24-09, I did a set of 35 pull-ups and two more sets of 20. The same with dips and push-ups.
Additionally, I am proficient with Push-Ups, Dips, Squats, Curls, Rows, Toe Raises, but I focus on Pull-Ups.
The video attached was done in August 2008. I won that event at all age groups.

Hey Art, I was inspired by you & a few others to add pullups into my back workout about 4-5 wks ago. I don't have the desire to hit the #'s you're shooting for, but I did hit a PR of 23 in this morning's workout. Feel great about that. :)

Hey Art
Happen to run into your profile.. Nice job! It is nice seeing guys in our age group, who are still able to get it done and keep the wife or girlfriend happy. :-) Keep up the good work your a asset to our age group!
Art, how are you and your lovely wife doing. You are amazing with all you can do. Keep up the great work, an I'm sure you'll meet your goal.
Best of luck to the both of you.
I have a question about pull ups and was hopeing you could help me out. I am currently doing pullups 2-3 x/wk, 4 sets ea time. I do as many as I can ea. set (currtntly about 15/10/9/8). Is this the correct approach, or should I be doing something different? thanks, and have a great weekend.
Wow, Art. Lead us on to our sixties. Is that pullup bar the only equipment you use?
Read your post in "Fringe Benefits" and expected a story about having a beautiful wife who looks 20 yrs your younger, and why you both are always smiling. haha, But that doesnt need an explanation.
Thank you I am going blog on the results later on my webiste at my pull-up page..I have done better in training but I am determined and I will be back:)
Hey thanks for the ad and for your comment- very much appreciated. Been working hard on doing the pull ups. Did 3 sets of 10 reps each today. I"m really liking these! All the best!
