I rested two days after my Week 3 Workouts so I could figure out my new maximum number of reps.

First I went outside and did a little shoveling. Then I came inside and did 3 3-minute rounds of jumping rope to warm up. Then I went to the pullup bar and did 2 sets of 6 reps of pullups to warmup on the bar. These sets were separated by 2 minutes of rest.

Then I went for it. I was able to do 17 (not all of them were pretty) pullups. That's one less than my all-time record of 18, but I've only done 18 once or twice and that was years ago.

So, I'll wait another day and then start the Week 4 workouts. Seventeen reps is close to twenty, but I have to be honest. I can't imagine squeezing out another 3 reps. So close and yet so far!

Happy New Year!
