Days 51 and 52 were my off days for pull up training and boy was I ever glad to have a massage appointment on day 52. She literally grabbed large knots and my back and made me just about cry. Thank goodness, after the massage session, I headed to my chiropractor and got an adjustment.
I have had spinal issues for a number of years, so when I began having difficulty sleeping on my sides (my comfort zone) I knew I had to go back to see my chiropractor. After a mild massage warm up, my doc came in and ZIP! Done, I slept like a baby.
Day 53 was secondary priority training day and I used the assisted pull up machine set at -90 pounds (a decrease of 5 pounds since the week before) and performed 100 repetitions. The big victory came in that I boldly moved my grip to the outer grips. It was smooth sailing up until I hit 50 repetitions. Then my body started screaming with every repetition thereafter, but I dug down deep and mustered up the strength to get to 100 reps.
After that I hit some push movements to finish out my workout. Great times! My off day will be a bit of cardio and leg training. Hit me back in 2 days for the update.
