Pullups

I used this method previously to improve my pullup count over time. The idea was to increase the reps by 1 every day. I got to 14 before my joints started to act up and I just stopped. That attempt is tracked here.

So this time I’m gonna change it up a bit. I’m going to do my reps every day but only increase the reps every week. This way I plan to reduce stress on my body and not make the difficulty level go up too fast. There are still 52 weeks in a year!

I’m going to start at rep 1. For the record I can do ~8 pullups with perfect form on day 1.

Update(14-04-2025): Completed 70 days. Meaning I’ve finished 7 days of 10 reps each. I have increased by max reps with zero sign of join pain. I did start feeling a sense of effort from week 8. I can definitely do more than 10 reps today but I’m going to stick to the plan. I am curious to see how far this plan can take me.

Update(24-04-2025): Did some other unrelated workouts and my joints ache a bit. Taking time off until it heals.
