Workout: 200 Pull-Ups (Tag Team)

Workout:

This is a partner based workout.  2 people are to complete a total of 200 (100 each) dead-hang pull-ups.  Reps must be completed alternatively one rep at a time. 

Person 1 jumps to bar, completes 1 rep, drops off bar then person 2 jumps to bar, completes 1 rep, drops off bar - repeat this cycle until 100 reps have been completed per person.

Pull-Up - must start as dead-hang to chin over bar for rep to count.  Any grip allowed (I would advise changing grip throughout).

Aim to complete total reps in less than 15 minutes.

Result:

Darryl & Kirk : Completed in 9:56

Ever seen those cable machines in the gym that offer a multitude of exercises across multiple-planes?  

Well here is the Fitness Explorer DIY version - it requires a strong piece of rope, a pulley, a knot I remembered from the Boy Scouts and someone daring enough to be hoisted several metres off the ground.  (Thanks Kirk!)

Was a lot of fun attempting this today at Primal Bootcamp.  You may ask what muscle groups are targeted during this exercise?  Actually all of them, especially those muscles involved in laughter...
