Damn! Nice work Tony!
You do 30, RL is doing 6x5, Rox is closing in on 30, and I felt like my arms were ripped from my shoulders when I tried to do 4x6s.
I have to get my butt in gear.  |

I lied. Mine were chins. Real pullups would be downright humiliating.

oops....
I guess I lied also, I used an underhand grip, which make mine chin ups also. I guess I didn't realize they were 2 different exercise, rather than just 2 different bar grips. I will have to add that to my "Things Learned" today section |

I thought pull-ups were under hand and chin-ups were over hand?

Seriously? After all the programs and books you've been through?
That settles it -- you're sitting in the remedial section at the summit.

Underhand grip (or chin ups for some of you) hurt my elbows\wrists. Getting old you know. I figure instead of working on "the problem" I'll just ignore it and pretend like it doesn't exist. It works for Microsoft. |

Good call. It worked great for Roland's shoulder and my knee.

It might have a little to do with it. Not after Monday though. I'll have to come up with a whole brand new set of excuses.
