Bar Exercise Progress Thread 2026

What is it good for?
--- log your personal goals and progress on the bar
--- support each other
--- share information about bar exercises & pull-ups
--- .... fust hang out and have fun!

The Team Challenge is exactly like the one last year:
We will count down levels as a team, similar to the years before. To make it easy for everyone to start a new Level, progress will be made in steps of 1000.
LEVEL 1 = 1000 points, LEVEL 2 = 2000 points… you get it, right?

Basics
Count every repetition, that gets you one step further on your "Pull Up Road"...

Scoring
You rank the exercises yourself:
easy: 1 point per rep/hold
medium: 2 points per rep/hold
hard: 3 points per rep/hold
and beyond: ? points per rep/hold
Help needed?
Here is a possible ranking system:

Ranking (max reps/ to fatigue): points per rep
Rank A+ (1-2): 5 pts
Rank A (3-5): 4 pts
Rank B (6-13): 3 pts
Rank C (14-24): 2 pts
Rank D (25+): 1 pts

1 rep equals a 3 -5 sec hold

Some exercise examples...
[HANGING]
[ROWS]
[REVERSE FLYS] (trx/ring/chair...)
[BENT OVER ROWS] (weights)
[BENT OVER FLYS] (weights)
[SKIN THE CAT]
[DELAYED PullUps]
[UNILATERAL]
[FLEX HANG]

Have fun! And pull yourself together!

@HellYeah made me dust off my pull-up bar for my birthday and reminded me of how much I need to get back to this. (I could not even complete my birthday gift in one go!)

So:

2 x 26 seconds flexed-arm hang (underhand grip)
2 x 26 seconds active hang (overhand grip)
Is that 34 points?

Team Challenge 2023
Countdown: >>> 166 <<< (level 1)

Great to have you. I would count 104 pts. cause you are at Rank B with both exercises.
