Late start yesterday so I was a bit cramped for time. However, I wanted to get some focused work in on my upper back. Started with three sets of 15 on traps with 270. Continued with the pec deck, 3 sets of ten forward and 3 sets reverse. Finished with pull-ups. Two sets of 5 at each level with decreasing offset - 140, 130, 120. Out of curiosity I then lowered the offset weight to 110 and did 3 reps smoothly. So, I figured it was time to check myself with a 100 offset, which has been my target since I began doing pull-ups post-surgery as part of the rehab process. Did it for 2 reps, I did not have a third in me. Nonetheless, I did it and can now start building up the reps. Not bad. Maybe one day I will be able to do a real, honest-to-God, full body weight pull-up. When that day comes I will thumb my nose at the elementary school PE teacher who gave me grief for my pathetic attempts at pull-ups during the JFK Presidential Fitness Test. Anybody else remember that test?
(Oh man, I think I have issues.)
