Found a pull-up bar, but I didn't use it since I had flu symptoms during the whole holiday - the air was bad or something. Now back home.

The numbers hide unpure repetitions, but they are progress anyway, since I got rid of negatives.

Monday, w3d1: 4-3-4-3-4
Friday, w3d2: 5-3-4-3-5
Sunday, w3d3: 6-5-4-3-5

Still haven't found a pull-up bar here at my sister's country. There must be a suitable iron bar somewhere nearby...

Tuesday: W3 D1 - 4-3-4-3-4
Wednesday: W3 D2 - 3-3-3-2-1
Friday: W3 D3 - 5 + 1 negative - 4 + 1 negative - 4 - 3 - 3
Sunday: W3 D1 - 4-3-4-3-4

On Wednesday, I had trained on two consecutive days and my hands were tired. I went to a bar and drank and danced until 3 o'clock, and started walking back mildly intoxicated. The path went past a minimal fitness park which included a pull-up bar and 2 other constructs. The conditions were optimal for failure and it shows in results.

Next week, I'll go to spend holiday at my sister's country. Let's see if I can find a pull-up bar there...

What would it mean to improve from 4 pull-up reps to 20? My weightlifting book has a load estimation chart. If you know your 1 rep max, you can estimate 5 rep max, 15 rep max etc.

It says:
4 rep max - 87% of 1 rep max.
15 rep max - 60% of 1 rep max.

Last week was the first week of summer holiday...takes some time to get used to freedom, as is visible in the gap between Tuesday and Saturday. And it was not just a gap in pull-ups...

Week 1 day 3 on Saturday, some reps lacking.
Week 1 day 1 on Sunday, after a not-so-quick warmup of mowing lawn. No probs with proper warm-up.

The bar has been on the door for years, unused.

9 months ago I started regular gym training, and now it bears fruit, allowing me to do 3 pull-ups.

My own 60kg weight is now optimal for quick development - light enough to allow a several pure reps in good form, heavy enough to overload muscle.

The iron is hot. It's time to pump.

Found site on Wednesday.
Completed week 1 day 1 program on Wednesday.
Completed week 1 day 2 program on Thursday.

I'm going out of town on weekend to see my sister (who lives in a different country!) at my parent's house.

The house has little training equipment, except for a pull-up bar...
