3dr week done

Day1 9-7-6-7-9
Day2 9-7-8-7-9
Day3 10-8-7-6-11

Pretty much the same as last week. Day1 was easy. Day2 I took full 120 second rest before last set. Day3 Was the same sets as last week. This time max reps was 11 instead of last weeks 9. Little improvement I guess.

By the way. I recommend using magnesium or chalk improve your grip. You most likely lose one rep every time when you adjust your grip in the middle of a set.

Second week done

Day1 8-7-6-7-8
Day2 8-7-7-6-10
Day3 10-8-7-6-9

Day 2 turned out hardest due to shorter rests so I had to take full two minutes before last 10 reps.

Day 3 I was a little ahead of time and accidentally did day 3 of week 3. I was positively surprised after I realized it.

I decided to make a bet with my brother who could make most pull-ups after week 6. Me training with this program and he any which way.

First week done

Day2 7-6-6-8-9
Day3 8-8-8-6-7

Last set felt hard. I was at my summer cottage and did 18 km run previous day and ate too well after that. Also I had to use the top bar of a football goal and it's more rounded than my Makak board.

Making the challence a bit more challencing.

Rock climbing is a dear hobby of mine. So instead of a bar I'm going to pull this one of on my Makak training board. I can already do 15 pull-ups and 17 chin-ups.

I've never trained systematically and I don't get to climb as often as as I hope. So I figured this would be the next best thing to do and maybe improve my skills a little.

First 6-6-4-7-9 set wasn't that hard for a start.
