Hit 17 Pullups! A new PR.. until I hit 18!

Wednesday, December 2

Today was good. Shoulder felt strong. I can feel the weakness in my pushups. My pullups are getting much better. I know I can get 20 pullups without much more work. I haven't really set it as a goal of mine so it's not something I work toward when I get on the bar. I think I've been just going for one more than I hit the last PR pullup test.

After I finished my pullups I thought about the ladies in the 6am. I was in class early today, and it was so awesome to see them fighting tooth and nail for those last few pullups. They were kicking and gritting their teeth. It was obvious they wanted to push those numbers. I think if I did a little more of that I would be able to kill my current PRs. Tonight, I'll sleep tight knowing that I did 18 in a row today. Cheers
