M2M Day 291: This might actually happen
This post is part of Month to Master, a 12-month accelerated learning project. For August, my goal is to complete one continuous set of 40 pull-ups.
Today, Matt the trainer came over for our Friday session, and, before we started the normal workout, he filmed my maximum pull-up attempt.
After writing last night’s post (about reconstructing my beliefs), I went to sleep almost immediately and actually had a dream about completing 40 pull-ups.
So today, I was hyped up and ready to go. In fact, I was probably a little too hyped… I started my set way too quickly and lost control of my body, only to regain control 13 pull-ups into the set, after a lot of wasted energy.
Even with the wasted energy though, I was able to get out 32.5 pull-ups, which is a personal best.
I wonder how many pull-ups I would have gotten if I started a little slower and in control. I bet I could have gotten at least 35.
For the first time, 40 pull-ups is actually seeming like a legitimate possibility. I have two weeks left to make it happen…
