Love the video! Good reminder that I likely need to build up my strength and technique before diving straight in. Last time I was doing consistent pull ups, I ended up hurting myself after a few months. Thanks for the recommendations of people I can watch for structure!
After weeks of anticipation, the hype was still unbroken. 😄 All the effort you put into the video was definitely worth it. Informative and entertaining. Thank you!
Hi Emma, I know this is an old video, but I have a question if you see this. Did you do anything special or consistent for your “check in” days? Like how many days did you rest prior to check-in? Did you warm up your pull-up muscles or were you fresh? Did you see if your weigh has fluctuated any? My check-ins have been a little inconsistent and so I wonder if these things play a part.
hi ksenia! i remember I would take at least one rest day before a check in so that i felt fresh going into it. the number of rest days depended on how sore i felt from the last workout. I'm sure I warmed up beforehand; it's always a good idea to warm up before maxing out on anything. I never checked my weight but I don't imagine it changed much in the month i did this experiment. People seem to say lighter people are better at pull ups and though that makes sense, anecdotally my weight hasn't ever effected my pull ups. I hope that helps and good luck!!
thoroughness comes at the price of speed tho 😅hopefully it's a good trade off! and thank you! they're palm trees! i want to get the same one with mini pineapples too 🤠
Nice job, a lot of work put in here! Just a little note I wanted to add in from my own personal experience, I found that testing your max often will hinder your progress significantly. I know it was necessary for the sake of the video, but you gain a crap ton of fatigue and DOMs. I wouldn't be surprised if you did slightly lighter work for a few weeks you'll hit 8-10 reps.
thanks for the insight! i didn't notice anything at the time but it makes sense how that can hinder progress. by the end of the month i for sure felt like my upper back was overtrained but i had attributed it to all of the workouts, didn't even cross my mind that the check ins might be an issue!
