still curious how you ended up on a strength forum

I used to do a more starting strength based workout with the basic compound movements. I had a nice squat rack and set up in my garage. But I have always been interested in pull ups and when I moved I got rid of my squat rack and I went more in the bodyweight direction. I've always liked the simplicity of starting strength and the board itself, although I've mostly been a lurker. I think my routine fits in with the simplicity even though it's a little bit unorthodox. I hope this helps to quell your curiosity. I've enjoyed this board so far. Thanks for the reply.

interesting . . . becasue the band tension nearly goes away at the top 1/4 of the pull up.
The top is where I fail.
Can always do a 1/2 of a pull up (bottom half) even when I'm smoked.

Yeah, it's definitely not a perfect system. I have trouble at the top sometimes. I may transition to a pulley system at some point, but I'm going to use this until it no longer works for me.

I do love chinups. I'd love to be able to bust out 20 someday and a set of 5 with 100 lbs
