55kg
?56.25kg

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.

had to rest about 4-5 mins to rest in between sets. hmmm. i dont like to rest so long between sets, completing the entire exercise takes up alot of time.

some muscle up practise. could make usually 3-4 good high pulls before i cant get chest above bar.

one arm db row
10x42.5kg
3x15x35kg

lol i started the set too early with 42.5kg. the reps were horribly slow and my body wasnt ready yet. i jumped from 32,5kg warmup to 42.5kg (of course there were increments before that as well) if i had did some 37.5kg or maybe 40kg, this might not have been so tough. will try again!

surprised it was so easy. the rows did strengthen my whole shoulder girdle lol. considering that even when i was squatting 140kg, i always had problems with bench not being stable.
