Pause and continue...

I finally bought doorway pull-up bar, it cost only 15 lats (~21 eur) and was quite easy to setup. No more running half an hour to nearest pull-up bar in forest. I guess I will take a pause from this training program for the sake of variety and will try out some different approaches - like 100 pullups a day or "pyramid" (1-2-3-4-etc). Twenty pullups are still a goal...

13

I got bored from endless W2/D2 and did max today - 13 (and last repetition was not very good form pull-up). It is +2 from 11 in the beginning of summer, little bit disappointing. Thinking about purchase of doorway pull-up bar for winter..

W2/D2 (13), 6-5-6-6-10 (90 sec.)

Slowly crawling towards 8-7-7-6-10 with 90 sec. interval.

W2/D2 (12), 6-5-6-6-9 (90 sec.)

I wonder, if there is any progress at all..

W2/D2 (10), 6-5-5-5-10 (90 sec.)

Last set was not very easy. 6-5-5-5-10 vs required 8-7-7-6-10. Next time doing 6-5-5-6-10.

W2/D2 (9), 6-5-5-4-10 (90 sec.)

My strategy to conquer Week 2 Day 2 is now following: 90 sec. interval (as required), less repetitions in first sets, but required number of repetitions in last sets (because it's always more difficult to do these last sets). With this "backward movement" strategy I hope to eventually increase number of repetitions in all sets to required 8-7-7-6-10. Next time I will try 6-5-5-5-10 and so on..

W2/D2 (8), 7-6-6-5-8 (90 sec.)

Still 7-6-6-5-8 (90 sec.) instead of 8-7-7-6-10 (90 sec.). General feeling of weakness.

W2/D2 (7), 7-6-6-5-8 (90 sec.)

Today's goal was to do Week2/Day2 (8-7-6-6-10) with 90 sec. interval, doing just one repetition less in each set (7-6-6-5-9). Even with this allowance I couldn't do required repetitions in the last set. Anyway these sets with 90 sec. interval is still worth doing, I guess it puts more emphasis on endurance than strength.
