good job!

however for the comp, you had just a little too much resting hang time on that first attempt at the bottom of the reps. As per the rule.

* No resting at the bottom of the rep,

Your first 2 reps are right in that first video set for form, are what you are after. All the way to the bottom/straight arm stretch. then straight back up ,no hang time.

Resting is way harder, if you want proof, make everyone rest for a count of five at the bottom, see how they go then

From experience it's actually easier to rest in a hang between reps.

As macdog appreciates from his recent experience, a little rest is helpful , There is an opportunity for relaxation of some of the key back muscles at the bottom of the rep.

I can hang for quite some time, almost to the point where I can rest between sets. The muscle fatigue is different, it is mostly your grip and arms. This is a back movement chiefly the way it prescribed.

Agreed, it's like bouncing deadlifts when doing them for reps. You use the elasticity that is stored in the muscle when you don't pause, whereas with the pause you have to generate all the force.

No. You will find done right you are lowering just past the point where the dynamic tension affords much advantage. This 'bouncing' is also noted as 'not allowed' in the rules.

I have no problem if someone believes the rules makes the pullup 'easier'. This belief alone might help you do more.

However, as the rule stands. Pauses are out. If you don't need to pause , don't do it. Then we can count the effort.

If the rule benefits you, then why complain about it??? It's not that hard to stick to it. Get some more vids up people...the weekend is over now!

    • Yeah since those first 2 replies I actually went and put some 98 in it and tbf it's already doing much better than the 95 (which is weird and makes my inner tinfoil hat wearer think the 95 was a crap batch), getting 8ish around town. Again, wonder if it takes a while to stabilize if the fuel is changed a couple of times. I swear cars used to just either run "well" or "s**t* in my 20s, none of this fuel optimisation business haha 
    • Any number of different ways. Have the coils draw sufficient current to provide contact wetting. Use different contacts in the switch, either by material or design, better suited to the low current drawn by a relay coil. Etc.
    • Hmm, how does the R34 manage to have headlight relays then without getting excessive carbon buildup on the headlight switch contacts?
    • Not R7R. Meant to type R&R, obviously enough.
    • Bugger "making it look stock". I put one conventional internally fused Hella relay behind each globe. I just pulled the plugs off the back of the globes and built new loom segments with male and female plug parts to match up to the original loom and the globe, and used the original power wires to each globe coming from the switch through the original loom plug to trigger the relays. Ran a big fat (also separately fused) power wire across the front of the car to feed all the relays. It's as ugly as f**k, but it is wedged down between the headlight and battery on the RHS and the airbox and headlight on the LHS, and no-one ever looks in my engine bay, and on the odd occasion that they do I simply give no f**ks for what they think. Fully reversible - not that you'd ever want to. For f**k's sake. It's a Skyline. They made million of the bloody things. We've been crashing them into roadside furniture for 30 years now. There is a negative side effect to putting relays on the headlights. The coil current is too little to properly clean the contacts in the switches and they get blacked up and you have to open them up every couple of years and clean them manually. I have 25 years of experience on this point.
