I need to put in a good effort this week. As of last Monday i can still do seven chin ups in a row palms down on the bar and shoulder width apart. Hope I can make 12 in a row by Christmas day. I am also planning to some overtime on the road running, so lets see what actually happens.

I haven’t trained much during October. I was sick for a week along with my son and we both lost some weight, then work commitments distracted me. However, I went to the gym last night and can still do seven chinups in a row, and then two sets of 4 reps with two minutes rest inbetween. Needless to say i am pleased, but my dumb bell bench press has dropped. I went for a 30 minute run tonight to keep the metabolism ticking over. I plan to do chinups twice a week until I reach my goal.
