Today's Sally

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.

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.

Another bash at these. There seems to be some gradual improvement with pull-ups, and I hope, if this continues, to target 5 pull-ups of my 78kgs body weight.

Well done! Luckily for me I weigh 62 kgs. Your results suggest a greater percentage of your 78 kgs is muscle.
