Day 20: Secondary Pull Day

Today, I felt leagues better and though it's Thanksgiving, I felt the best way to experience a wonderful holiday was to spend time with my wife and workout.  Woo!  Loving life, man!

My priority training today was leg heavy and I primarily focused on hitting my hamstrings and calves.  Boy was I successful because I walked home like a new-born giraffe.

After my workout, I hit the cable equipment (see picture inset).  My theory is this:  Duplicate the same motion with half the weight of my body for the same reps I expect to crank out on my pull ups.  So, this is how it looks:

Exercise:  Cable Pulldowns
Equipment:  Dual cable pin select with the bar attachment
-Come to a seated position on the ground, gripping the bar with arms shoulder-width apart.  Pull down the bar to the chest and slowly let it come back to full arm extension overhead.
Sets:  3
Reps:  1st set - 34, 2nd set - 33, 3rd set - 33
2 minutes rest between sets
Total reps:  100

Man, I was feeling swollen.  Also, watch the above video for a detailed explanation of 100 days to 100 pull ups.  Be sure to like, comment and subscribe to my YouTube channel and this blogspot.
