1351 + 45 Pullups + 45 Chinups = 1441

We are moving this along pretty quickly. 10k will come in no time.

Yup, this one and the pushup one tend to scream by. Nothing wrong with that!

1790 + 2 = 1792 I am helping
I want to get to a place where I am neither conforming nor rebelling but simply being.

1900 + 92 = 1992

Going to make an attempt at another high-water mark soon. (Is there a more generally used term for something that's not a pb, but is a best in a recent time frame?)

2108 + 79 = 2187

Hit 17 last night, good and strict. Which is a high-water mark since '15JAN when I got 19.

Was a long slog to go from 16 to 17, but I'm also up in weight a bit, so, I'll take it I guess.

Now let's see if I can go from 17 to 18 in less than 2.5 months...

2670 + 54 = 2724

Our complex's little gym finally added a bar, but it's rather wide grip. Incredible how much more difficult it was for me.

Anyway, that's probably my last contribution for a while. My travels begin on Wednesday.

I'll have to see how I do at the end of the summer, when I'm probably hopefully 15lbs lighter.

2771 + 16 = 2787

I started doing weighted pullups. The max I can do with 25 lbs is 6. My numbers will be down but I am doing pullups 5 days a week to get back up to sets of 10+. Hopefully it won't take more than a month or so to build the strength.

Current sets are:

Set 1 - 5
Set 2 - 4
Set 3 - 3
Set 4 - 2
Set 5 - 1

I will just add 1 rep per day. Day 2 will be 5,4,3,2,2 and day 3 will be 5,4,3,3,2. It is pretty gradual progress but 25 lbs feels heavier than I thought.

2841 + 20 + 21 + 22 + 23 + 24 = 2931

Week 2 of weighted pull ups complete. The first few reps feel pretty easy now. My arms and back are pretty sore though.

Next week starts with rep of 7,6,5,4,3. Should be fun.
