Yesterday I started doing the fighter pullup program by Pavel. http://www.kbnj.com/FighterPullupByPavel.htm I basicaly suck at pullups and thought this was something I needed to get over. I'm doing medium-width pullups with the palms facing me. I did 5,4,3,2,1 reps from a dead hang with as much rest as I wanted between sets but not more than 2 minutes. Next time I go for 5,4,3,2,2 reps and so on. Some people do this on consecutive days but I will probably do it 2-3 days a week and see what happens. I'm doing plenty of pulling work with all of the 1-arm swings I am currently doing and do not want to overdo it. I'm also working on a close-grip pushup progression. Yesterday was my second day doing it. I am doing a ladder on-the-minute, starting with 1 pushup on the first minute, 2 on the 2nd etc. The first day I made it to the 11th minute but I was quite sore yesterday and could only get to the 9th minute. I'm sure I will be stronger after a good weekends rest.
Today I did 1-arm swings and getups
8 rounds 45 seconds on 1:15 off all done with the 24 kg bell. My form is terrible as my body gets used to this heavier weight. The 2nd session with the bell already felt lighter than the 1st session so I am excited!
I did about 10-12 getups. A get up starts from the ground, goes to standing, back to the ground and then repeat on the other side. That's 1 getup btw. I used the 18 lb bells for warmup than I did 3-4 sets with the 12 kg bells, 3 sets with the 16 kg bells and a couple of sets with the 40 lb bell. I need to study the getups much more so I'll be watching a ton of videos.
