Fairly easy pull session yesterday...
neutral grip pulldowns....
15 @ 35kg
15 @ 40kg
12 @ 45kg
15 @ 35kg
close grip pulldowns
3 x 15 @ 35kg
wide grip pulldowns
3 x 15 @ 30kg
I usually like to get a good mix of both horizontal and vertical pulls on a session... however a busy gym and trying to also fit in all my other bits (run, core, legs, stretching), meant only vertical pulls yesterday.

Push session tonight.... after slicing a massive cut in my finger with a huge pair of scissors yesterday, its currently quite difficult to hold weights.... (i expect it will be even tougher on a pull session).
But....
Seated chest press
4 x 15 @ 32.5kg
3 x 15 @ 30kg
Barbell shoulder press
3 x 15 @ 27.5kg
3 x 15 @ 25kg
EMOM for 28 minutes, pull-ups, singles.
For me, failure with pull-ups is in the last couple of inches, with chin-ups it happens halfway up.
That's hard.Originally Posted by Mike T
Interesting though. For me, it's the opposite. From the point where I'm hanging with straight arms, up to the 'half-way' point, where my elbows are at 90 degrees - that's the most diffiuclt. If I can get there, the upper half is less challenging.
I saw a vid, where the suggestion was that one might start with your chin above the bar and lower to half-way, then backup again, to build strength in that section of the movement. I'll have to try it but for the lower section, perhaps.
