David_wigren Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Hello everyone. Can't press worth a damn because of this incredibly stubborn injury in my left shoulder. But I can still do pullups pretty well! Did a set of 11 reps with 20 kg added. Beat my old personal best of 10 reps from a few years back. Feels like I have potential for better pulling now. Shooting for 15 reps before the summer! 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David_wigren Posted February 16, 2016 Author Share Posted February 16, 2016 Thank you my friends! My current weight is about 81 kg in the morning. I have a AW comp in two weeks where I need to drop down to 78 kg. And then additionally down below 75 kg to early april. That should help my pull up work as long as I don't lose to much strength in the process. I haven't tried a max weight in a long time but I should be good for a single with somewhere between 40-50 kg added. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David_wigren Posted February 17, 2016 Author Share Posted February 17, 2016 Managed 12 reps today. Very close to 13. And this was after about an hour of deadlift-work. I think without being slightly pre-fatigued and with a proper warmup 13 to 14 reps should be possible! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedy Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 (edited) At first I was like what's the big deal I used to do that, but never 11 reps in one-set with weight attached. Respect! On top of it I see you did pulls not chins which IMHO pulls are harder. Respect! Edited February 19, 2016 by Iman74 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
austinslater Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Great topic and reps with 20 kg is something I'm working on as well. We did a weighted pullup contest a few years back on here that was a lot of fun. Max weights bothers my joints but a 45 seems to be fine and the reps feel better regardless. Good luck chasing 15!

Evan Raftopoulos Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 also one arm chin up challenge with added wts would be fun too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David_wigren Posted February 26, 2016 Author Share Posted February 26, 2016 Maybe we should resurrect that pullup contest thread?😈 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David_wigren Posted March 5, 2016 Author Share Posted March 5, 2016 Did 14 reps today. Progress is coming faster than I anticipated! 15 reps should happen by the end of march. After that I will either shoot for 10 reps with 30 kg or 5 reps with 50 kg. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going to more running friendly weather here in Örebro/Sweden.. I competed in Goldenarms on 27 feb. Got my as handed to me. Got buried by a Pakistani and a Norwegian. I figured I need more time on the table. I'm already relatively strong. But I need more experience before I can transfer that to the table. I got myself an AW table sitting in my basement. I've hooked up with an armwrestler that is bigger, stronger, and better than me. We wrestle 2-3 times a week. You're welcomed to join us if you want. I live in east part of Rosta so It's fairly central. Shoot me a PM if you're interested. Running is on hiatus right now. I went for a 5 k run two weeks ago and injured my foot 😂. Nit to bad though. It should heal up quick. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David_wigren Posted March 9, 2016 Author Share Posted March 9, 2016 Got 15 reps yesterday. Goal reached! Now I might shoot for 20 with 20 or go for 10 reps with 30 kg. Or maybe just clean up the form on the 15 reps. Haven't fully decided where I will go now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
