We are currently 50% through the year, and I’m 81.5% through this challenge. Nothing warms my heart more than remembering the arm chair quarterbacks that said I couldn’t do this. As we gear up for the second half of the year, I’m realizing I can probably do another 100,000 more since I’m fully ramped up. We’ll see.
Currently doing a fitness challenge at work to raise money for our philanthropy. Today’s event was Burpees. I’ve legitimately never done more than like 3 Burpees so I had to YouTube how to do them. Ended up doing 52 in two minutes. Then continued on to crush a lunchtime workout.
On the home stretch. Almost there. Today ran my fastest mile at 6’07”. Not too shabby for a ball of meat.
I know what you’re thinking, yes, I’m ripping through these. At this rate, I can do 200,000 pull-ups before the end of the year…. which means that I’m probably going to end up doing that since I’m putting it out there. However, I THOUGHT I was in decent shape last year. The best part about being egotistical is that you take a lot of pictures of yourself. BUT the best part about being hyper-self critical means you can actively compare these pictures. Take a gander below. (Even threw in a helpful text box in case you can’t tell which one is the current me)

Get addicted to the endorphins, inject them in to my veins. Slap a nice filter on and call it a day.
Finished off 500 pull-ups and 100 handstand push-ups before 9:00am, went on a 4 mile hike at 10:30am. Sunburnt by 1:30pm. Twas a lovely day.
Phenomenal day today. 90 push-ups in a row, 500 pull-ups, 100 handstand push ups, 50 squats at 225, and a mile run.
3 more days and I’ll be at 80K. We won’t even be halfway through the year either. I think I might try to get to 200K, because now I know how fast I can knock out 500 pull-ups in a day. We’ll see.
Getting real lazy with my content lately. It’s 12:23am and I forgot to post on the 24th. So here we are.
Dude goddammit I’ve been getting in to a trend of forgetting to post for all 2 of my blog readers. I am sorry. I’ll do better. 78K coming this afternoon.
Dude I’ve been falling asleep on my floor because I honestly think it’s more comfy than my bed. Which is why I keep forgetting to post, I’m literally sprawled out on the floor of my childhood room, instead of sleeping in my tiny twin bed.
But I’m at 75,500 Pull-Ups and will definitely be at 76,000 today.
Dude… 3/4 of the way through. At this rate, I’ll officially be done in 50 Days. Thank god, I’m bored.

And I think we’re only about 46% of the way through the year too. Keeping with the trend of thirst trap pics.

Total Pull-Up Count: 74,000
I didn’t believe it either but apparently if you eat a whole chicken every single day (and do a few hundred pull-ups as well) you’ll start to see some gains. Either that or just rely on lighting.

The weight vest has been an absolute game changer but now it looks like I have hickies on my neck from the constant rubbing. And I’m at my childhood house in the desert so I get funny looks from my parents… but come on, I’ve been stuck at home with my twin bed from highschool that still has “sports” covers on it. I’m not bringing anyone over…
Sunday Scaries hitting incredibly hard right now. So hard that I decided to clean my room in order to completely forget about work.
Total Pull-Up Count: 72,500
Total mg of Caffeine consumed: 1,200
Knocked out 300 pull-ups with a 20lbs weight vest, then did 200 regular pull-ups. 50 squats. 50 deadlifts. About 400 push ups. Ran a mile at 6’23. Not too shabby of a Friday.
Really considering making a program to get people off their ass and doing a pull-up within 6 weeks, would anyone be interested in that?
