An ode to pull-ups would not be complete without a nod to Mr. P90x Pull-Up, Tony Horton. This video was captured by Beachbody coaches, Kristin and Pat Hain, before Tony’s Super Saturday event in Lincoln Nebraska in October of 2010. Tony cranks out 20 switch grip pull-up/chin ups (with a slight kipping swing)!
Week 11 of P90x- met Tony Horton in person and ran through the frigid weather.

Core and Pillar Strength Training

You see the root was more of trunk cause – the core / pillar strength, or from right above my knee to below my pecs. Years of running had weakened the quad area and at times gave me a false pass on core/pillar conditioning.

Swimming had helped improved the trunk, but I was in desperate need of more. Classic mistake.
