 10 23 2008 Birthday Record 200 reps CHINS/DIPS
« Thread Started on Oct 23, 2008, 5:12pm »

Well this year I turned 60 (today!!) I guess if you look at it another way, I "ACTUALLY" finished my 60th year and am now starting 61 :o

But in any event, my daughter got me a set of dipping bars

It has been more than 20 years, since I have performed free-hand dips and 10 years since I have used the dip machines.

While that is the case, I somehow got it in my head to do 10 sets of 10 reps in both the CHINS and the DIPS.

While that may not sound like a big deal (and it isn't for you young bucks) my "dressed" bodyweight was around 250#. So that is 10 sets of 10 reps of CHINS with 250#, and 10 sets of 10 reps of DIPS with 250#, and I haven't done DIPS ... ... ...I MUST BE CRAZY.

On top of that the dip device is rather unstable which when you haven't doen them in some time makes them even more difficult.

But I am proud to say, I completed the "ALL TIME PERSONAL CHIN AND DIP" Record and can still walk and move my arms.

Total reps DIPS = 100 x 250#

Total reps CHINS = 100 x 250#

10 23 2009 Birthday Record 220 reps CHINS/DIPS

Well, didn't get a chance to train for any specific record this year, but couldn't let 61 go by without an RECORD.

So without "ANY" specific training at all, I went for a "shoe in" 220 reps of DIPS and CHINS.

So I performed 11 sets of 10 Chins and 11 sets of 10 dips for a NEW PERSONAL REP RECORD in each.

This year it was rather easy and I contemplated 300 reps, but thought I might save that one for next year or maybe 70.

I think it was easier because I weigh about 232# instead of over 250# like last year.
