Hey, just popping in ever so briefly to catch up. I've still kept on track with pull up training every other day. The two workouts I enjoy most are:
50 pull ups workout
15 straight on the first attempt
10 straight on the second attempt
15 straight on the third attempt
10 straight on the fourth attempt
I rest roughly 1 minute between sets

50 pull ups workout
10 straight on the first attempt
5 straight every attempt after
Very little rest between sets. I took about 3 slow and deep breathes, then jumped right back into it.
My challenge days are coming to a close. On my last day, I will give my best effort. The whole training approach changed when I could honestly evaluate how well I was performing each pull up. I like to stick the hang clean style, using zero momentum from my body and pulling all with the back and a little with the arms.
My form should be:
- Shoulder blades pulled back at all times
- Elbows pointed out to the sides of the body and not forward (as this is closer to a chin up and requires less back power)
- Grip just shoulder-width apart on the bar
- Pull all the way up till the chest meets the bar
- Go down and come up with equal pacing
Catch up with me again soon. I should have a video post rather soon, however, I have been tied up re-writing/editing my first publication "The 3 Keys to Health & Happiness: Unlock Your Greater Life" (first version available here). Stay tuned.
