HIT4120's video: Pull-ups Some Photos 24 08 13

My wife shot the video and took the photographs after I'd done WOB of my current routine. I wanted to see how my muscles worked whilst performing pull-ups, hence my top is off. It's turned out alright but in hindsight, I should have asked my wife to do a few close-ups as I did the pull-ups. I'm currently training once every two weeks with each workout usually taking between 6 and a half and 11 minutes depending on the workout. My current routine is: Workout A Weighted pull-ups (positive failure) Pre-exhaust DB lateral raises/Nautilus Nitro shoulder press (positive failure) Deadlifts (positive failure) Body weight dips (positive, static & negative failure) Workout B Weighted dip (static & negative failure) Body weight chins (positive, static & negative failure) Nautilus Nitro shoulder press (positive failure) Nautilus Nitro seated rows (positive failure) EZ preachers (positive failure) Nautilus Nitro leg press (positive failure) Workout C Weighted chin (static & negative failure) Pre-exhaust DB lateral raises/Nautilus Nitro shoulder press (positive failure) Deadlifts (positive failure) Nautilus Nitro vertical bench (positive failure) Workout D Weighted dips (positive failure) Nautilus Nitro seated rows (positive failure) Nautilus Nitro shoulder press (positive failure) Body weight chins (positive, static & negative failure) Nautilus Nitro leg press (positive failure) EZ preachers (positive failure) General Protocol - No 'warm-up' and just the one all out set for each exercise to the failure points as mentioned above. - Use standardised form as far as possible: slow, safe and smooth with a two second hold in the fully contracted position where the exercises allow. Barely start, barely stop. - No pausing between reps during a set and avoid of momentum and undue acceleration during the negative phase. -Train once a week for two weeks running and take the third week off. If progress is still forthcoming, try training once a week every second week. - Breathe with quick, shallow and constant breaths and keep face relaxed. - Utilise the 'rush factor' (no rest) approach between exercises. Have everything set up prior to starting the workout. - Upon positive failure, continue to fight for last impossible rep for a maximum of 10 seconds if possible. I do one set of each exercise to the failure points indicated, then move as quickly as possible to the next exercise. I do no 'warming-up' either as I've found it has no positive effect on my workouts whatsoever. It's pointless as far as I'm concerned so I simply don't do it.
