Day 15: Priority Training Day

I sprinted into this workout like a madman!  Very happy with my efforts and I even had my cardio this morning.  It helps that my nutrition and rest have been right on target and I have been supplementing extra BCAAs and protein to maximize the most out of my down time for recovery.

 

Today was a simple plan -
Time: 30 minutes
Exercise:  Pull ups
Grip:  Angled-out inside grips
-Squeeze off 7 reps then rest 1 minute.
Total completed: 182 reps

In theory, I was thinking I'd accomplish about 210 reps by the end of the workout...wrong!  I forgot about the time it would take to start/stop the timer and how long it'd take me to rep out.  So, as time passed by and my realization that my math was off, I decided to cut my rest time since I felt like I still had more in me after 7 reps.

This proved to be an awesome theory, so I repped out 5, then rested for 30 seconds.  I will be using this next week to break my 200 pull ups in under 30 minutes.

My biggest success:  100 reps in 16 minutes and 50 seconds.  Wow!  This is huge considering last week I had that in 19 minutes!  Big gain!

Tomorrow, I'm going to take another off day, so that the day after next I can focus on some single arm pulls.  See ya tomorrow on an update.
