Going for a Pro total at 220 Log

7/27

1.5 mile jog. Not as sore as I thought I’d be two days after a meet. Nice night out for a run, only 98 degrees.

Well fucking done my friend.

You’re a beast man.

Congrats on the total dude. Awesome stuff here. Assuming you keep updating this, I’ll be following.

Thanks guys, I should be more consistent in keeping this current. I read the forum pretty much daily as it is.

Just went into the gym and hit a bunch of pullups to get back into it today.

Hi Pidgeon,

Im theBird.
Nice pull-up work. I cant do more than 8 wide grip pull-ups at once.
You lift some heavy ass weight. Is that you in avatar pic?

Thanks Bird. Yes, that’s me in the avatar pic.

I’ve found that the best way to get more pullups is by doing them more often. I’ve pretty much replaced pulldowns with weighted pullups.
