I Want to be Ready for the Tough Mudder
Goal for 2016: Complete 20 perfect form pullups
As someone who has completed 2 Tough Mudder events I’ll tell you… work on doing more pullups. Body weight exercises like this truly show you how much of a man (or a pussy) depending on who you are. Me? Things are not good in “Daneville.”
Unparalleled for building grip, upper-body, and core strength, the pullup is the exercise to master.
How?
How will I meet this goal? Solid question… I’ve got a 3 point approach to reaching 20:
- DO PULLUPS – Do lots of pullups. I think I heard someplace that hard work is key
- Lose Weight – Lifting less weigh would make this easier
- Vary Grip – Change my hand positions constantly. Some days wide, some narrow and some in between, but doing them and changing all the time.

Mens Health Magazine has a good video on the why and how of the pullup. I will memorize, I will learn, I will LIVE this guide:
