100 Second Hang Challenge | Marine Pull-up Test | Sheriff Fitness Test - San Diego FitExpo 2021!

[@derekchen5749]

Thanks for the feature at the end! My “pullups” weren’t nearly as clean as yours haha…didn’t even lock out some at the beginning 😅 Also I’m sure you could have done more before the hang and pullup challenge. Would love to see the journey to 20/25 clean pulls tho!

[@CaseVault]

nevertheless very impressive :D

[@bobrobe7121]

When greatness meats greatness, no posturing is necessary

[@GeekClimber]

Your form looks pretty good to me, and 26.5 pull-ups are extremely impressive 😆. Definitely have to feature it. Also, thanks again for helping on filming!

[@knowbody1]

why didn't Brandon come Derek 😔😔

[@tristanpegnottga2002]

When you’re in front of a crowd i often forget form too haha

[@mtc7598]

These 15 pull ups are much more worth than most of the others "pull ups". These were actual, clean ones. Well done! And really close on the 100 second hang, I really thought you would had it man! 2022!

Ok, but holding on for ten more seconds than last time is a big accomplishment!

[@chriss4037]

Crazy stuff :D You are doing "chest-to-bar" PullUps.^^ They are of course much more intense.

[@rupertkeller2074]

A 20-25 pull up challenge would be very interesting to see. Great video !

[@kockarthur7976]

Your pullups are super strict and clean. 15 of those is basically 25 “normal” pullups, and probably 30-35 rabbit pullups like that other guy did

[@filipposchiabel]

Incredibly clean reps, almost high pull ups. If you had used the most efficient technque, which of course takes a lot of practice, you could have easily gone beyond 20/25 with same resistance. Great work!

[@MichaelTheGuy]

I definitely want to see a 15 pullups to 25 pullups progression!

[@AviSpira]

Interesting that the hang challenge here is 100 seconds I've been seeing 120 (2 minute challenges more and more. Working on my grip strength now for that

[@Kamza_]

Thats because this bar spins freely.

[@andreafiaschi5904]

I think the challenge with a normal bar is usually 120 sec. If you are using a spinning bar it is usually 100 since it’s a lot harder

[@Kamza_]

@@andreafiaschi5904 Good climbers can do 4-5 on normal non spinning bar.

@@andreafiaschi5904 I've done it as Six flags it's a spinning bar. But it's been a year already so it may have changed by now

@Dries van Oosten 😂😂 nah, so many people have been making videos on the hang challenge for the past 2 years and I think people aren't as interest in this as they used to anymore. I got lucky 2 years ago and got a viral video because no one was doing it at the time.

[@yousefelafrangi2658]

let's see 25 pull ups! I'll match your training routine and make my own video if you do :) I think I have a 12 rep max at the moment too 🤔

[@GeekClimber]

I think I might have to go for 25 pull-ups, since everyone's interest seems to be quite high!

[@pablolagos9713]

It would be awesome to see you go from 15 to 20 pull ups. Some people (especially in the gym) just focus on being able to lift heavier, but I’m sure there’s a lot of potencial gains in resistance training. Also those 15 pull ups were so clean dude good work!

[@comeberza]

Those pull ups were PERFECT

[@zainethepoet]

I like how you didn't sacrifice form or intensity for speed. High leaderboard times tend to have been completed with a lot of momentum and a short range of motion.

[@gjoel57]

That was a little heart breaking

[@GeekClimber]

It was so disappoint to the point that I actually thought about not making this video haha.

Ahhh here we gooooo! I haven’t watched yet but I bet you beat the challenge this year!

[@songohan393]

I would loved to see you pull about 25 times, I am curious how you would train to achieve this goal

[@DiegoJutsu]

As an average software engineer that has gone from 0 to 7 pull-ups in 3 months you’ve been a great inspiration mate, keep it up!

[@laqtas]

Have you tried the "hook grip"? It's when you wrap your thumb around the bar then wrap you fingers around the bar and thumb. It's the grip Olympic weight lifters use. I bet you would succeed if you use this grip.

[@dojanglesclimb]

I think you could increase your max pull ups to 20-25 easily. Probably within 5 - 10 weeks. You're a smart guy with a strong will. 💪

[@Roobitz]

I love that you showed up for a fitness expo in flip flops!

[@voyd2911]

For the hang challenge the hook grip is a real good help. Like everyone I think your pullups are very clean and I would like to see you do a endurance training.

[@didrikaleksandercardosowangen]

I think you should do the challenge of doing 25 pull-ups it will be good for your Strength Endurance and also help some followers that have achieved a plateau Thank you for the motivation💪🏾

[@matthewjiao7233]

[@weegee3785]

Id love to see you improve your max reps on pullups or even pushups!!

[@eliastew9636]

Those are some clean pull-ups dang Having more explosive power might get you more pull-ups but maybe at the cost of some form

[@wohhhay6037]

Would love it if you could do a video on learning No Handed Cartwheel! I think it's super cool

[@FearlessTofu]

Looking strong dude, next time, for sure!

[@TheValinov]

i think for your max pull ups you need to do it faster and use the "spring like feature" of your muscles to pull you up again. it's the same when you do a standing jump, you go into a squad-like position for this spring-boost. (sry no native speaker)

[@GeekClimber]

I think the key is probably dropping down on the negative instead of lowering with control, since that could save a lot of strength.

[@2funk2bpunk]

@@GeekClimber Utilise stretch reflex too. Bounce at the bottom of the pull-up, and at the top of push-ups. Without sacrificing form, your reps could be just a little bit faster overall, more explosive, and you'll be able to do loads more.

[@glennwilkerson9571]

would love to watch a pullup endurance challenge! your videos are very motivating :D

[@lingolombosky8196]

I just tried the hang on the bar . I did 2 minutes 40 seconds. Now I just need to get some pull-ups!😖

[@freightmanganese4715]

your form is much too good for these challenges where you're expected to just go as quickly as possible lol

[@mihkelhint]

Your pushing strength aint that bad, you were doing a pretty hard variation of pushups with pretty decent form and still got like 14 reps. I think if you just did normal push-ups with decent form you would have had about 30-40 in you, which is fine imo.

[@Steven-vh6fg]

Na bro they were bad his cardio is bad also if he ever climbed at elevation he would notice

[@M4tht3r]

Would love to see you work for more power endurance. As this is also needed for NinjaWarrior what you used to incorporate in some of your videos as well. Then maybe a collab with Anton? ;)

[@tacticaldachshund2734]

I think normally 20 pushups wouldn't be a problem for GeekClimber but the assault bike probably killed his triceps.

[@abhishekchaurasia5876]

Please make video on planch progration

[@no-lesslordanthropodthetop6138]

Geek bro you were focused to and up till the last 2 seconds. You wanted it and then you got in your head with the count down. You might want to practice it with the sound of people counting down especially before you are even actually close to the end. Like they try to tell sprinters to run through the tape. Good luck or break an arm as they show business. (It's leg I know)

[@fredericp64]

So close my man! Next year I'm sure they'll charge you a premium ;) !

[@TheXeeman]

how thick was the bar? and it spins right?

[@targeted1948]

The bar wasn't too thick, maybe 1 1/2" in diameter would be my guess. The bar spins & is mounted in Ball bearings, that's why it's so much harder than a fixed bar. The 2 minute hang challenge that I go to uses a very large 2" diameter rotating bar, but it's not mounted in Ball bearings. The larger diameter of the bar makes it so you can't get your fingers OVER the bar as much. This means that your hands are mainly pulling down on one side of the bar which causes it to rotate out of your hands. Also you can't put your fingers OVER your thumbs to keep the bar from rotating because the bar is so large. I beat that 2 minute hang challenge 8 times prior to Covid, but only two times after Covid reopening. They sanded & polished the bar (for Covid sanitary purposes?) So now it's very hard to grip the bar.

[@spacejackson1612]

The revenge time!! Let’s goooooooo!

[@nemure]

Your first msx pull up atemp was poor but second was very clean, catching your breath made a big difference. The guy of the last though, those 27 reps I would give him 0,for real. Not a single proper one 😂

[@JosephDiazClimbs]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Im in shock

[@perttihakala9847]

Super good effort on the hang challenge! You'll get it next year! Also in a yeat you'll be able to do 25 pullups in a row 😉

[@ash-li6gv]

I think strength endurance will be more beneficial for ur climbing

[@calisthenicsindia8498]

Do pulling endurance

[@qweasd9153]

can u use grip hook on the hang challenge? Or do pull ups at the last 10 seconds? I think it would help you beat the clock

[@GeekClimber]

Unfortunately, hook grip isn't allowed for this challenge.

[@miskorom7638]

Please teach me how to L sit

[@standby9548]

Personally, I didn't see at least one pull-up at the last guys with 27 pull-ups. His shoulders were rounded and that is one thing that his chin was over the bar but in an ideal world only full range of motion with strict form would count. Chest to bar like your first 5-6 pull-ups :P

[@Jerkal]

I'm surprised, I thought you'd easily crush the 100s hang.

[@tacticalchunder1207]

It sneaks up on you real fast! Tried a max deadhang with my friend before and thought it was easy until about 60/70s hit and the pain was suddenly unbearable.

[@jonkrause6714]

How fun! 🤘Thanks for doing all those tests. Looks like leg conditioning, push ups, sit ups need some work. 😆 Your technique is such strict form.

[@jonahpetrahn1993]

PLS, 25 pull ups, or even 50. 25 should be a piece of cake (for you at least) since you can one arm pull up.

[@marihuana4443]

How is planche going ? Greetings from Croatia!!! @Geek Climber

[@WyandWombat]

It's pretty much the same for me. Increasing my weighted pull ups on a set amount of reps does almost nothing for my endurance on body weight pull ups. I still gas out around 15 ish pull ups even though my 1 rep max went from 130% to 180% body weight :) I guess if you really want to do a lot of pull ups you have to train for that specifically.

[@thefitnessleaguesg]

Respect to those who serve! Nice try for the challenges! - fr: Johnsen

[@oneluckydude]

I am able to do 20 pull ups when I go up and down fast. But can only muster 12 with strict and slow form.

[@millacabral9475]

It would probably do you some good to be more well-rounded in fitness, honestly. It would help you be better at these kinds of challenges and also ninja warrior and general well-being/ longevity. I think you can get to 20 pull ups pretty quickly, but I would really like to see you get your pushups to 30 or more. It would balance out all the crazy pull strength you have and make other pushing-related things you were training for more stable and strong, possibly. I believe there is a benefit to training faster reps, especially for climbing. I used to be a super slow and controlled climber like you (mostly out of fear though), but when I started training power on the campus board and reminding myself to climb faster and not so perfectly, in terms of technique, it actually helped me get through really tiring climbs and figure out beta that would have been literally impossible statically. I'm still not great at dynos (I'm 5' and have weakish legs), but my climbing has massively improved because I'm able to do dynamic moves and catch things way too far for me to get with my feet still on the wall. As a short climber it was essential to develop that, and I'm working on my leg strength and run-and-jumps to be able to do a lot more and not be shut down so easily. "Sloppy" explosive pullups were essential for this, I think.

[@jeffstarkman6890]

I know this is not essential for climbing, but i think doing pushups would be an interesting thing and could maybe help in climbing somehow

[@krazypandaman]

wonder if they let you do the grip where you lock your thumbs under your fingers

[@ericx3woo]

They usually do. The only rule against grip is the use of alternate grip (overhand + underhand). Tucking the thumbs under the fingers definitely helps

[@abhistraj5732]

[@anonym___]

How tall are you ? Please

[@nightflash5951]

That's very unfortunate for the hang challenge, but yeah the max strength is different from endurance. My pullup record is 17, but I'm nowhere near executing a 1 arm pullup.

[@gagee3445]

guy you did not feel the bar slowly roll itself at the last 10secs?

[@coalgravel]

Bar was trying to do that the whole time. He just ran out of wrist strength to counteract it.

[@gagee3445]

@@coalgravel no, I suppose that is controlled by a inner electronic-mechanical equipment . The man hanging on would not feel it’s running, but attributed to stamina

[@laeamminlakana-matt5692]

You'll have to adopt a more speed based technique for maximum reps. You're using a really low speed of lowering yourself, which is good for progress, control, injury avoidance, but takes a lot of endurance off the proper reps. I can barely do a one arm pull up, but I can easily do 20+ if I just go fast. In training I usually go slow but this May I tried to train endurance and got 30 flat in one set by simply working fast rather than super controlled. No actual kipping though, just legs relaced and pulling as fast as my arms and back allow me to, and lowering at practically the same rate haha.

[@syindrome]

Ben Polson has a secret technique to beat the hang challenge. Look him up on YT

[@targeted1948]

Yeah I also mentioned Ben's video. The 2 minute hang challenge that I go to uses a very large 2" diameter rotating bar that is too large to use hook grip. I've beat it 10 times & I've never seen anyone else ever beat it. After Covid reopening they polished the bar which makes it very difficult to grip, especially with sweaty hands.

[@hoopwithsepo]
