When I was in the Marines I maxed out at 23 dead hangs.
Now I'd be lucky to get in 10.

I guess it was a dynamic workout of sorts. Looking at it in retrospect, I think I probably went back and forth between focusing on speed and strict control. All I know is that it kicked my ass something fierce.

Well done Dokk....
There was this guy who was trying to bench press 315lbs...My gym doesn't have clips for the bars because they don't want guys tossing that much around or something but this guy looked like he could do it. Here is the kicker...I was working on legs on the other side of the gym and then I heard a huge BANG! He had to slide the weights off the bar I guess because he didn't HAVE A SPOTTER! I dunno what pissed me off more; none of the knuckleheads in that area ran over to make help the guy lift/spot when he was struggling or the jerks walking away giggling that the guy just dropped a crap load of 45lbs plates on the floor. I'm all for space and privacy when pumping iron but you see someone that might need help..just offer to thwart any danger of him getting seriously hurt!
