all the attempts went well. got abit of jitters before starting the lifts but once i started my first attempt, it was good. might have hit 56.25kg but i blacked out at the top part and couldnt tell if my chin was above the bar. lol but 55kg was clean.
yay 5kg PR. this cycle from Jan 16 till now went fine. matched my best pull ups so far in terms of reps (6x5x30kg) and weight (2x50kg).

will be trying to hone my pullup technique the next 2 months and doing rows for reps. maybe do some deadlifts lmao. then do another round of pullups strength cycle.
