    Zuzana: my money is on you. I know you won’t disappoint me.

    Zuzana; your site rocks. It’s great to see a girl that is doing pullups and other exercises that only men do! When will we be able to place our bets at OTB? YOU CAN DO IT! I have shown your website to my wife and she liked it.

    The Super Mario music makes it. haha.

    Haha, love that video!!! Is it just me or did you guys also notice that during the girls’ portion of the video, those bottom three blond girls looked like the same one? One couldn’t tell because those first two blond ones on the bottom had their backs to the camera…

    Ha Ha..that is very cool. Zuzana, I have been following your site for about a month now. Excellent work. Your instructional videos are great as well. My health and wellness blog has gotten some good exposure and is getting increasing traffic and notice. I will create a post with link to your site. Nice job and I will let you know when I do the post. BTW – I can do about 22-25 of those commandos.( I’m 42 yrs old ) Bring it on. Good luck to you on that challenge. I think you have a real shot at it. Rock on!!

    All the best,

    The sound effects and music are great! I think a lot of people here are using the bounce momentum they get when they go down. It makes a pretty big difference when I do them. I like seeing better form over more reps.

    Cute post.

    Anyway, you should do a re-count of those pull ups. Those with kicking, jerking and arms not fully extended should not be counted.

    • kxbc, I totally agree with you. I could do way more pull ups if I was doing it that way, but this is not a serious fitness competition, it is just a game. I am glad that people are having fun and being active.

    This is soooo funny. They all had bad form!! What’s with all that body contortion to get themselves up? The guy in the blue shorts was using every inch of his body with legs kicking to get himself up to the bar. FUUUNY!! Hey I ran out to the garage where I have my roman chair that has a high bar and tried this. It is NOT EASY. Made me realize I need to work on upper arm strength. Zuzana, your definitely going to beat that guy. YOU GO GIRL!! YOU ROCK!

  14. TEXAS CINDY says:

    Okay,I tried do these..again. But all I managed was 4 teeny tiney commando pull ups. That means I was barely able to make a bicep muscle in the attempt and probably only moved 1/4 of an inch, nooooo where near the bar. Go ahead and laugh. But, when I tried these in August I couldn’t move at all!! I just hung there like a dead monkey. At least this time I “MOVED”! Surprised myself. As Scarlet O’Hare said,”As GOD IS MY WITNESS…..”. Okay, that was a bit dramatic. But, I WILL KEEP TRYING. Hopefully, by the end of the year I’ll at least be able to do one.

    I think I can make 35 with two weeks training from this day. I’ll be back!
