I did it!!!!
I did 10 pullups today! Ok I will admit I had to cheat and do a rest pause for the 10th rep, but even if you only count 9 as one set I still beat my record: 7 reps. I’ll count 10… Yeah… I did 3 more pullups than last week! I’m pretty happy with that jump. I won’t be disappointed if I plateau at 10 for a couple weeks now. I made a big jump and raised the bar pretty high, but I do look forward to seeing a big leap like that again after a few weeks. Next month I expect to be around 13 or 14 in one set. I know incorporating weighted negatives has helped me make this leap. I will continue to find ways to shock my muscles with different techniques so I don’t plateau too often. I’m living it and loving it… Determination and consistency fuel this engine.

Great News bro! 10 is a mile stone. Don’t set yourself up for a plateau though. You could be adding a couple of a month. Try different grips for pull ups [and chin ups] so you don’t get stuck in a rut. There are a lot of different kinds that will keep your back and arm muscles challenged and growing.
Hey, glad to hear others out there are shredding their shirts too bro! Continue to be relentless.
