March is gone, but still sitting at 14 pullups.
It looks like I have reached some hard to cross barrier – 14 reps. I did 5 upper body workouts during this month, was working quite hard, but still couldn’t do 15 reps. One thing I know I need to change is, I need to do more different exercises and change my routine time by time. I have the same routine for several months now. For now, I am working out more like on autopilot – every workout almost the same routine. I know it is bad, but…I will change it some day soon.
First workout was on 08. of March, quite long pause from last one. But I felt strong and did 38 pull ups in total.
- 5 pull ups, +19kg
- 4 pull ups, +19kg
- 4 chin ups, +19kg
- 3 pull ups, +19kg
- 7 pull ups, bodyweight
- 6 pull ups, bodyweight
- 5 pull ups, bodyweight
- 4 pull ups, bodyweight
Next time was on 14. of March. I did only 25 pull ups, I just felt too tired that day and decided to make it easier.

Fifth and last workout was on 28. of March. Started with max reps set. Did only bodyweight sets, 47 reps in total.
- 14 pull ups, bodyweight
- 7 pull ups, bodyweight
- 4 pull ups, L-sit
- 7 pull ups, bodyweight, wide grip
- 4 chin ups, bodyweight
- 6 pull ups, bodyweight
- 5 pull ups, bodyweight
My max count was still 14 reps. A little bit disappointed, but just a little bit. 🙂 I know I was training quite hard, so results will improve later. I need to get off trainig on autopilot. My routine should be changed to achieve better results. Just had a lot of other things to do this month. I sold both of my cars and bought another one. It took some time to do that. And had a lot of other family related things to do, so I didn’t had enough energy to do some research and just think about better routine.
But as allways – it’s better to do usual routine, than not exercising at all! 😉
