WORLD RECORD PULL UP WITH (79 POUNDS) ADDED

[pear928]

Nice. But why is this a world record?

[dkblade27]

Crystal, did you stop?? =[

Oh by the way, do weighted pull ups compress your spine or do they decompress?

[nyce2meetu]

cutest thumbs up ever! :)

[MrEggeFTW]

low

[fingflava]

wow!

[Dayga]

Athletic figure and functional strength. You've accomplished what many strive to do, yet so few actually achieve. I'm sure you're an inspiration to the others in your gym. Well done!!

[XvBiBleMaNvX]

i believe you, but dont understand how its a world record, how is it?

[ExtremistPullup]

Great Job

@ExtremistPullup That is awesome:) GREAT JOB:)



[marrec92]

wow very impresive...especially for a girl....great job!

[luveraaab]

With her light weight, she can lift more added wt. than the big girls!

[stronggirlsrule]

VERY cool and impressive! Hope we get to see more from you soon!

Being completely honest though? Back in the early 90's, I hung out with some friends in college, and witnessed a girl doing a chin-up with her boyfriend hanging onto her back by her shoulders. (We were goofing around down in the laundry room of a dorm and she did it on a dare, using the bar on one of those rolling clothes/luggage trolleys as the chin-up bar.) Don't know what the guy weighed but surely at LEAST 135-145lbs.....

[cwestfitness]

@stronggirlsrule Thanks:) Yup there are a lot of really strong people out there true dat:)

[Truejusticevoice]

@stronggirlsrule well if she did that, she could do a one arm chin up, wich i don't believe, lol!

[fastdave1001]

Your one seriously hot lady quality strength respect uk style ;))))

[cwestfitness]

@fastdave1001 Thanks fastdave:)

[VanMedia]

@cwestfitness how much do you weight?

[hydrojin7]

YES! this is awesome

nice work

[extremepullups]

There is a competition on bodybuilding . com that you might be interested in. Its a weighted pullup competition in the Misc Forum. I cant post the link but you should be able to find it.

[cwestfitness]

@extremepullups Thanks so much for letting me know:) I may give it a go:)

[Onibomb]

@extremepullups

Bodybuilding . com is pretty awesome place. Not gunna lie.

I want to see some one arm negatives! I just recently became strong enough to do one arm chins myself. The ~80% of bodyweight chin is pretty accurate for me. I can do a chin with 135 at 165ish pounds and i can do 1 one arm chin.

[jabon9]

damn, your so strong!

[psicicle]

very impressive. Have you thought about trying to get a one arm chin? I haven't heard of any females being able to do one before but it looks like you are chinning past half bodyweight so it may be doable

[cwestfitness]

@psicicle Thank you:)  I have thought about it yes. Apparently the one arm is doable when you can lift about 75 to 80 percent of your body weight. I have not seen any women doing a real one-arm yet..Some guys on here do some wicked ones though:)

[cwestfitness]

@danielcottle1 Nice job on that:) I will try this again soon and report back and tape it if I get good results. 

[petrilah]

@cwestfitness Be the first to do one!

[SGTcrackey666]

@psicicle can you possible explain to me why she doesnt have huge lats from doing pull ups all the time with huge weight? Sooo confused!!

[psicicle]

@SGTcrackey666 Well, strength is not correlated with muscle size as much as most people think. For example, it's not uncommon to see/hear of people who are 135 lb deadlifting some 400 lb. You can look at the lower weight classes in Olympic events for more examples I think.

Being a girl also means less hypertrophy.

However I think she does have quite large lats anyways.

[gpanzer]

Awesome! Very impressive elite class feat...

[bombaykaizoku]

wow!

[WickedWillie45]

Once again...that was just plain sick. Good job!

[Ninety9Soulz]

I want my girlfriend to be like you when she reaches your age lol

[knowledgeisthepower1]

[bertvg86]

Very impressive, Crystal!! My personal best is 4 wide grip pull ups with 44lbs added weight on the belt, and that already felt really heavy, I'm really impressed, awesome job!

[gruntposse]

Hooray for Crystal :)

[kylepounds]
