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.
