100 Day Pull-Up Challenge

The D/FW International Airport Police Department S.W.A.T. Section is conducting a 100 Day Pull-Up Challenge, begining today.
Please join in, and show your support to this outstanding group of officers.
100 Day Pull-Up Challenge Details: Beginning Tuesday, October 14th, we started doing one pull-up on day one and will add one pull-up each day until we get to 100 pull-ups on the 100th day, for a total of 5050 pull-ups!
Team Rules:
1. Use any grip: jumping or modified, dead hangs, kipping and butterfly pull-ups are acceptable.
2. You can complete each day’s pull-ups all at once, or reps may be broken up at different times throughout the day as needed.
3. If for any reason you miss a day, you must make up all the missed pull-ups the following day.
4. If you don’t start the challenge with us today, you can “buy-in” at any time by doing ALL the missed day’s pull-ups on your first day.
5. Any pull-ups you complete during your regular workout can count towards that day’s Challenge pull-ups, if you want them to.
