Around about the start of Covid I managed 5 pull-ups, and after short rest, 9 chin-ups - these remain my life-time records. Those were the days!
The way my bar is set up, I can only do chin ups (palms facing towards me?) as it's wedged in a doorway making pull-ups tricky. I've never managed 9 chin-up, certainly not in recent memory, and 5 is about my best.

Today, dumbbell bicep curls. 2 X 12.5 kg. Simultaneous lifting with both arms. Eccentric lowering. 2 mins break between sets, during which I did x( 10) reps of floor to lock to floor press-ups. Curl Reps were to failure, per set.

Spent part of the evening carrying 25 litre water containers to and fro around the village watering the plants in the tubs, so that was a bit of a work out too
