Weighted Pull-ups

Workout 1 September 2010:

Weighted Pull/Chin-ups 1-1-1-1-1-1-1

Results: 25-27.5-30*-40*-45*-45*-45*lbs
Previous best: 55-60-65-70-75*-80*-85*lbs (28 Sep 09)
*Chin-ups

I knew my numbers today would be nowhere near my previous best. First, I do far fewer pull-ups now than I did a year ago. Second, I'm still working to regain the strength I lost from overuse during "Angie" a few weeks ago. I started with a standard pull-up grip, but failed at 30lbs. From there, I switched to chin-ups.

This workout shows I need to add in more standard pull-ups into my workouts, or do more during my warm-ups. For my next attempt, I want to get at least a 35lb pull-up and more than 50lbs on a chin-up.
