I am truly blessed to have snow in my life because it is beautiful and fun due to its rarity and amazing properties of changing everything and then completely disappearing.
Sweaty palms , excited and nervous at the same time, waiting for my name to be called in gym class. My memories of the first time I had to perform pull-ups in front of an audience, the gym class instructor would serve as a judge in a 3 pull-up minimum physical test. I had two weeks to train but I only used one week to prepare. Before that test I always thought I can complete at least 5 consecutive pull ups, I was wrong , the strict form of the pull ups needed to pass the test was a rude awakening to my idea of what a pull-up was. I trained everyday for a week straight, I went from zero to 3 full ROM pull-ups in five days. I barely spent a hour everyday training. I already completed the 3 pull-ups in my mind and to me that was the hardest part to overcome, the physical part would be the easy part. I learned at a early age that seeing is believing, I always picture myself achieving my goals first, then making it a reality second.
After I pass the "PT" , my goal was to able to complete 10 consecutive pull-ups. 50 pull-ups was just crazy at the time and I never thought that any normal person can complete that number of repetitions in one set. To me that would've been amazing if I can complete a week worth of working out in one set, 10 pull ups a day was my workout regimen at the time(11yr). 50 pull-ups has been a physical goal of mine for a long time.
To me it's much more to complete something like this than to practice a move in my bedroom for hours. I started working out a long time before it became a YT/FB craze. The computer is helping the bar-world and killing it at the same time, more and more people are concentrating on being the next calisthenics star by replicating gymnastic moves in their bedrooms rather than going outside in the real world,working out and interacting with people that share the same passion. My FB&YT was the streets of America, where if you had a negative comment you would have to keep it to yourself or be prepared to deal with the repercussions. I traveled park to park working out hoping to find someone to challenge, critique, teach and motivate me to reach a higher level. Basics pull-ups became to boring at one point , so variations became a new way to challenge myself and target different muscle groups. Freestyle became the thing to do because of the audience it attracted and their reactions to seeing something they think is impossible for them to do.
Basic are the foundation that the Bar-world is built from. The extreme strength moves are the evolution of bodyweight exercises and should always be backed up with a strong foundation of fundamental calisthenics.
I gave myself 2 weeks to complete the "50" but I've been so busy I didn't get to train as much as I wanted to. I had to struggle 30(BB-20)when I started, my game plan was to mentally get past the 50, so my routines would consist of nothing below 50 reps, even if I had to break them up, I'll only gave myself a rest after 50 or better(reps) were completed. I had to strengthen my grip ,especially my left hand(due to the bike accident). Most of the routines I used are on this blog,
I will describe my training in better detail on the instructional .
50 pull-ups has been completed before me and now they will definitely be more strong and inspired individuals to complete them after me. Completing the "50"means much more than me just displaying muscle endurance, I am hopefully motivating someone to set a goal and surpassing it.
50 was the my first and oldest physical goal, I'm on to completing my next goal,Hopefully I'll have it by June 1st!!! From: 50 PULL- UPS ZEF ZAKAVELI BAR-BARIANS

If you wish to accomplish something special, start working towards your goals now. Don’t wait for someday, as someday is not visible on the calendar. Make the most of today, and don’t become sidetracked if you struggle tomorrow. Life is often a battle of endurance. You cannot give up when the going gets tough. Embrace the struggle and use it to fuel the journey that lies ahead.
