Nevermind guess I can't do them anymore I guess a month of not using bodyweight and using weights for upper body  screwed it up

Then why is it I could do 10 pull ups in a set a month ago but can only do 6 now?

Joe is suggesting that maybe you couldn't do a OAC, when you could only do 10 regular pullups.

Just a thought.

Scott  I have to say the advice you gave on running is excellent.

Scott is partially right, and to avoid any confusion...this is a 2-sided "nope."

Part one: Scott's right.
Part two: I barely trained chins at all over the past 1.5 years.  On the other hand, I regularly did sets of 10 on Pendlay rows with 220-280.  Started doing chins again, and didn't really have as much trouble as you'd think.  It's totally feasible to train the strength for bodyweight work with barbells.  The problem is that while you are building strength, it takes form practice to get bodyweight skills to work for you.

If you've lost strength while lifting: You're doing it wrong.

Also: I agree, Scott's thoughts on running are pretty useful. :)

Well now that you've pointed out that my loss of strength is due to me doing HIIT training like the 300 workout you've pretty much figured out why I've lost it although I have lost 7 pounds from it

You don't lose strength from HIIT as long as you are continuing to exercise your upper body during.

And if you can only do 10 pullups it's unlikely you can do even 1 OAC much less two..
