Re: Fitness: Commando Pull Ups Exercise Challenge

[MadHatter7over12]

I cant even do one :(

[walkercat36]

Good job on the commando pull ups. It was fun to see the challenge between you. I hope more Bodyrockers will join in on it.

[dfcvda]

contrived challenge.

[rstlr01]

Breath! son Breath! you would probably do 5 more easy then.

[Zipemova1]

cute guy

[TheArchfiend]

@Zipemova1

Thanks.

[package666]

did this challenge ever take place?

[TheSouthernPatriot]

I can't even do 1, it's not because I'm fat, just that my job requires me to sit in a cubicle for 8 to 10 hours.

[wolfofworld]

 When I do commando pull ups it means I'm naked to shave weight.

[iloton]

Cool video. I understand why, for the purpose of a challenge, you're doing them slow and controlled, but I'm wondering why you have a problem with doing them quickly. I train the olympic lifts for the most part, and I understand this is a different beast, but I tend to do every lift, including commando pull ups, as fast as possible (without breaking form) in order to build power. What am I missing?

[bdumaguina]

@iloton i think you're right on the dot. Performing an exercise (any exercise I believe) with speed (and form) to a certain extent builds power. He just went slow because Zuzana went slow on her demonstration too.

[DrAnswersPhD]

FUCK YOU. I WILL NOT PAY YOU 49 CENTS TO WATCH YOUR VIDEO FUCKWIT

[TheArchfiend]

@DrAnswersPhD K, so just watch it for free.  Since do you HAVE TO pay 49 cents to see it?

[KayinGD]

Given that I could do about five of those tops, and most of the 'lol u're chlinging a gurl' twats are likely choking on their own grease as they wheeze their pudgy fingers through another youtube reply, I'm reasonably impressed.

Zuzana's got one hell of a body on her. Her abdominals are kind of like a female version of Rain from Ninja Assassin.

By the way, is 'Archfiend' related to Ninja Gaiden 2 at all? Or did you have it snapped up before the game was released?

[TheArchfiend]

@KayinGD Thanks.

And no my name ha nothing to do with Ninja Gaiden 2. My channel was created way before that game was in the plans.

[MsAgent10]

pull ups for girls gj NOOB

[TheArchfiend]

@MsAgent10 Pull ups for anyone. Pull ups that I bet you couldn't do three of.

Another couch dwelling critic. People like you make me laugh.

[namrahnotyal]

@TheArchfiend you ever done burpees?

[TheArchfiend]

@namrahnotyal yup.

[TheArchfiend]

@MsAgent10 Oh, nevermind.

Blocked for being an obvious troll. Work harder next time.

[56137]

you could have done more if you would breathe. Good job I'll think about adding theses to my workout.

[sonyhotmail16]

Nice job man, especially because they were slow, you shouldn't be challenging a girl though man!!! LOL Nah but anyway, nice, I always thought of these as being called baseball bats though...

[TheArchfiend]

Yeah, ok.

[cordellchantack]

195? MEN i'm 18 and i could bench you!!!!

[TheArchfiend]

You want a cookie?

[cordellchantack]

@TheArchfiend no thanks, my computer got enough

[apasihlu88]

congrats buddy ... but Zuzana beat you down if you look at Body shape.(n it should be shame of you) .. and you can beat her through your 12 or 13reps( noRMAL for a man ) meanwhile Zuzana only did 6 reps of you( normal for woman) . so nothing to be proud from this clip ..

anyway great job . No pain No gain

[TheArchfiend]

Wow.  Bitter much?

[apasihlu88]

i am sorry i dont mean it bro ..

[cordellchantack]

hahaha, he so once to bang her

[TheArchfiend]

"he so once to bang her"

Once?

[queenzlink247]

she likes u man.. set up a meeting and bag it. for all of us

[TheArchfiend]

Sorry man. She's married. And also living in a different country.

[gotahc]

i can't even do one! it's so hard....gonna try with a chair to assist me and see if I get any better :-(

[DemonHide]

What's up with pull-ups? When I could do 65-70 push-ups in 1 minute I still could only do 1 regular pull-up. My push-ups went down to 50 in 2 minutes, and my pull-ups went up to 3.

What's your philosophy on that? Cuz I'm stumped.

[TheArchfiend]

It's easy. Pull-ups work an entire different set of muscles than push-ups.

and let me ask you this? Do you strength train your legs? I am a ultra marathon runner and my legs are stream-lined with no major bulk. In other words, are you bottom heavy?

Having large legs works against you for pull-ups as being body heavy makes a pull-up more difficult. Granted you can get your upper body strong enough to over compensate that but it is still better to be slender.

[DemonHide]

That would probably be it. I got a lot of extra baggage. Comes full circle to trimming the fat.

Thanks!

[cordellchantack]

@TheArchfiend your a Ectomorph

[ezmode01]

65-70 pushups in a minute? With FAIL FORM of course...

[DemonHide]

Not the best, for sure. I figure a 90-degree bend is fine. I quit working out since so I'm not too concerned about it.

[chuck8842]

Nice work! I could do 9. I'll try and work on these over Christmas break.

Also, I have that same Simpsons poster xD.

[fitness3life]

not bad. average people have trouble doing 10

[chiconspiracy]

Looking around my office, most people probably can't do ONE.

[AMY854]

lol the simpsons poster :]

[ThePrudence23]

I will do it

[bongapendo]

Good pull ups. But why are you competing with a girl? Lol.

There is a girls`s school around the corner from where I live. Maybe I`ll go down there and challenge some of them to arm wrestle and then post a video of me owning them on youtube. Lol.

Good pull ups though, strict form. and respecteble number of reps. Keep training.

[TheArchfiend]

Have you seen the girl I'm competing with? She's in better shape than 95% of the guys I know. Hell, she's in better shape than me.

[bongapendo]

Haha. True, she is. In fact, she is in extremely good shape and, judging from her videos, she knows her stuff.

She is still a girl. Lol.

[MrXbox221]

i think he did beat her, she only could do 6 on her vid.

[ExodusX13]

Neither of you could be a commando these are weak.

[TheArchfiend]

K, Internet tough guy.

[ExodusX13]

OK internet weak guy, you should be doing at least 50 of these.

[TheArchfiend]

All talk and no action. Start by doing 5 and then get back to me.

[Allyness92]

i just tried this, i can do ten without rushing =p

[zxxxt]

So did Zuzana got to beat the 13 you did?

[54deinemutter38]

Noob Mans have 33% more Muscle than Woman....

[generalzod4life]

haha at 1:00 min your reaction is priceless!

thats the same exact look every red blooded guy gets when watching a Zusana clip!!!!!

[mrkiky]

hell yeah, I bet I can do over 20 if I rush the shit out of them and propel my legs upward lol

[ReielSC]

Would it still count as a commando pullup if you alternate sides you raise on?

[crazykane3]

this guy is a real idiot

[TheArchfiend]

Jealous?  Yup.

[TonberryCactaur]

Haha, you're a bad-ass. :P

No sarcasm. ^_^

[Pinakamabuti]

its good to rush the workout only if you are doing it right.

(why do runners push the work out? So they can get stronger even faster.) am i right

[Muhsroomhead]

to me, you seem like a scooby1961 but a lot younger. same face, same eyez

[bratpit80]

naaa homie, she went all the way down after every pull up, straight arms relaxed, do that and count after avery pull up,, we'll see if you'd do 7

[groalerable]

Why are you challengin a girl ?

[TheArchfiend]

Girl or not, she's in way better shape than I am.

[kroasana]

TESTOSTERONE O.o

[TheArchfiend]

and shes still in better shape than me.

[KingSnakeX4]

Good luck, dude!

[projectstrength]

I think i can do more, check my video

[projectstrength]

I respectfully challenge you

[administratorkathy]

Does being from the land of enchantment mean that you are enchanted??

[TheArchfiend]

Don't know. I'm not from there.

[WorkingComedian]

holy crap 192!! how tall are you?

[TheArchfiend]

dude.. it said my height in the same annotation that said my weight. How did you miss that. I'm serious. How could you have possibly missed that?

[DavidFUBB]

Go Archfiend! Zuzana is awesome but honestly I don't believe she will be able to achieve 13 or more. BTW you look way lighter than 195lbs... I'd say 178-180lbs.

[TheArchfiend]

Nope, I'm about 192 to be exact right now.

[DigitalCombatStudios]

OMFG check out that Tribal Tattoo, what tribe are you apart of?

[iiix808xiii]

idk if this is a serious comment but i loled

[ayremaster5000]

if i've missed the sarcasm lol

u don't actually have to be in a tribe to have a tribal tattoo

[SamDGoodrick]

the vegemetarian tribe.

[seanjohn135]

its actually the packaged sticker than comes in guitar hero 3.

[Ne1170]

Wouldnt it be hilarious if the bar fell down when he got to 11 lol

[IsuckGamer]

Is it just me, or does she have the advantage of being lighter, therefor there is less weight to pull and it's easier for her to do them :P.

[hanxopx]

not really, there are many other factors

[duschkoph]

Hey look its stupor-geek.

[400hurdle]

I count reps by they tenth too. ha ha. definitely 12.8!!! Suzana is funny, your going down like the russian in rocky IV, ha ha.

[Deimonos85]

Yeah, go easy on her, dude.

She's got a nice shape on her alright but as most women who are like that, they tend to focus more on low weights and more reps than actually busting muscle fiber to grow bigger. So I doubt she'll be able to beat you if you work out more and get a bit stronger..

Laters and have fun.. lol

[nanquan491]

lol

[MayhemEyes]

Your funny... it was truly 11 because your form was not the same!! lol you need to be careful when challenging Zuzana, shes pretty awesome.

[TheArchfiend]

Truly 11? Umm.. no. 

12.8.

[deadlift99]

Let the games begin!

[yongjun90]

i think you should challenge Thisfooltyler if you dare....'-'

[hopelesshope]

Hell yea Archfiend! I'm totally rootin for ya

[sekinjica]

I think this is more a challenge boy vs. girl more than anything but that's not bad either :)))). So I'm taking female side of a chalenge! Zuzana, you inspire me with every new video you post on your site so I don't think this is going to be a problem for you.Zuzana make us proud, I know U can do it!!!

Iva

[bookittty182]

I can do a few but no where near as good as u guys. 15 damn that is impressive

[myterminalstory]

but i can beat you boath!!! even if u count yours and zuzana s

[TheArchfiend]

Yeah and ten peopple beat you to declaring that. Yet none of you have posted any proof. Ho hum.

[myterminalstory]

hey man i will !!! wait for my video response i just need a place where i can film cause i dont have the bar in my house like you or zuzana .......... but go eagles! hahahaha

[BFFboss]

I will post a video, 12 is good, though I believe in myself and my ability to overcome both you, and the incredibly hot chick.

I don't want to steal any thunder though. I think it might be a little classless to jump into a contest between two people.

Golden state throwing down the gauntlet. You accept? This was a two person contest so there is no shame in turning me down.

[TheArchfiend]

I'm always game for a challenge and welcome anyone to reply with their vids showing off what they can do.

Just do them the same way Zuzana and I did them. slow and controlled. Full extension down on the arm, etc. I can do 20 commandos if I rush them but that is not the same as what her and I did in our respective vids.

[seanjohn135]

how many commandos have you done at the same time?

[BFFboss]

Alright I will try to get the video by Monday or Tuesday, because Saturday and Sunday are my rest days.

Good luck in your training.

[myterminalstory]

go EAGLS!!!! I hey i bet you can beat her!!

[blackquiver]

lol................

[alpha923]

haha I think 12 is already a pretty good number, but my bet is on Zuzana though. :P she is effin ripped. XD

[kelch12]

This is awsome! keep going

[mpett2]

Not bad. I can do more and beat the little skiny broad..

[dudeman777us]

Kick her ass dude!

[CrispyCritty]

lol, "I'm going to go catch my breath and die now." That made me laugh. Good job, and I think Zuzana will give you a run for your money.

[aboutthatwebshow]

charliejames is gonna kick ur ass big time.

[VenusHeadTrap]

0:55 yup, still lol

[PhotonEd]

Haha, this is great stuff guys! But you know I am sure that Arch can pull out a couple more if he start Posing as hard as Zuzana does at all time =D

Ed

[EngJose]

I can easily beat you, I can make more than 15 in one min you loser!!!

You will not beat Zuzana.

[TheArchfiend]

Well, I more than welcome the challenge from Zuzana and gladly await video of you doing 15. That will be impressive.

[VenusHeadTrap]

who asked you? no way jose

[studywar]

I can prolly do at least 30 of those, but I am a bodybuilder so I have an un-fair advantage.

[CrusaderU2K]

1:41 yea dude i would of been the same way OMG

[seka1986]

We used to call those commie pull ups cause back in the day all the red commies would do pull ups like that.

[CodeNinja1337]

You need a mustache.

[GamerGuyProductions]

damn your place is cluttered

[TheArchfiend]

Who called the clean room police?

[GamerGuyProductions]

the clean room neighborhood watch

[NeoTStyle]

I'm slim as hell and I probably could only do one or two of these if any. .___.

[VenusHeadTrap]

guess how much I weigh? yup, gonna challenge. goin down

[VenusHeadTrap]

Epic.

[hozehd]

...

[Iconbuster57]

Wow I wouldn't be able to do one. The moment I grab that bar, and tried to pull up, my entire roof would come down. lol

[charliejames1975]

It's ON! haha

[Gippel]

you will lose.^^ I'm sure :P

[TheCommanderNZ]

Bah, Im going to get a chin bar and beat your record.

[hellblazer116]

after watching thisand eating a shit load of candy i decided to see if i cold do these push ups turns out i can do well over 9000 of them in 5 minutes

[TheArchfiend]

Good. Now try doing the PULL ups.

[hellblazer116]

see thats should be a lesson on why too much candy is bad for you i just did over 9000 of the wrong thing

[Vanir101]

That's tough...I can only do 8, and that is pushing it lol.

[hellblazer116]

[robbie13a]
