miss_marissa Posted September 20, 2015 Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 Workout three of week -2. Got a pretty solid 1.5 pull-ups. Lol got stuck at roughly the 90 degree point and struggled there for about 3 seconds. Better luck next time I suppose.

Artemis Fernweh Posted September 20, 2015 Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 I tried day 3 of week -2 yesterday and I was not able to do the full chin-up. The top half of the chin-up is fine, but I can't get the bottom half of it completed. I can get one maybe two inches up before it starts hurting. Not the usual exhausted muscle hurt, but it's almost feels like the necessary muscles don't exist. So, I'm gonna half to do that week again.

dancezwithkittehz Posted September 21, 2015 Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 Blargh. Didn't manage to fit in week -2, day 3 buuut seeing as I was at the aerial gym 6 out of 7 days last week I was definitely getting pull up work even if not formally following this plan for each day. I don't think I quite have one yet and will probably need to rep week -2. But like...doing just 1 negative per set is SO FREAKING EASY. I keep accidentally doing 2 negatives and then being like "oh wait I'm supposed to take a break!" And then doing 1 full pull up at the end of day 3 in comparison to all of the negatives? Seems like a huge difficulty leap! Quote Assassin extraordinaire!!

Sam Ashen Posted September 21, 2015 Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 My week 1 turned out to be somewhere between the 6-Pullups column and the 10-Pullups column and I have not yet decided what to do for week 2. Maybe I try the Rx 8+7+6+7+8. Or maybe I will try Rx - 1.

Sam Ashen Posted September 22, 2015 Report Share Posted September 22, 2015 Pull-Ups: 8+7+6+7+8 Rx-1. Getting the range of motion from a full hang to the chest is really difficult. I really only manage it on the first rep or so. I wonder if it would be worth it to cut the reps and focus on that kind of range of motion. EDIT: The shirt says, "Lead me not to Temptation.
