This post is to prove to people they can reach an ultra-high degree of conditioning with something as simple as the pull up bar. I’ve been writing a lot about body weight training and I’ve personally been trying to get better at pull ups and chin ups. You guys may or may not have heard of the Bar-Barians, but these guys are flat out impressive. They don’t train with weights, but I would go as far to say that they are most likely in better shape and more ripped than just about anyone in your gym. If you have never been exposed to the Bar-Barians, prepare to be “Wow’ed”!

Krav Maga tonight had a fitness test: pushups to failure then squats to failure. I made 44 pushups and 105 squats. Thought I did OK - my form was good and I could have done more squats.

To me a pushup is chest to floor (or close to it / elbows at 90 degrees) and full extension of the arms at the top. Squats are as below.
