Weighted Pull-ups

Workout 28 September 2009:

Weighted pull-ups, seven sets of one rep

Results: 55-60-65-70-75*-80*-85*lbs
Previous best: 55-60-65-7o-75-80*-82.5*lbs (6 Aug 08)
*used supinated (chin-up) grip

It was very crowded at the gym today, so I did a workout that minimized the equipment I needed to use. Usually, I use a weight belt with plates for the weighted pull-ups, but the belt was missing, so I held dumbbells between my ankles instead. Despite the relatively lack of pull-ups I've done recently, I was happy with a small gain compared to my previous best. I did have to switch to the supinated grip one rep earlier, so I know my standard pronated grip needs a bit of work.
