Pullups, no hiking.

After so many years of hiking Runyon Canyon I'm backing off a little bit on my hiking volume.  It's starting to feel like it is working against my goals of getting stronger and bigger.  I eventually want to start sprinting but right now I'm happy to continue working my swings, getups, pullups and pushups.

Today I did another round of the Fighter Pullup Program.  I was on track to do 5,5,5,5,4 reps but I felt strong on the last set and squeezed out 5 sets of 5.  Now I have to decide what I am going to do to up the challenge on the pullups.  I could simply change the goal to 5 sets of 6 but I can also stick with 5x5 and change my grip.  The grip I am using currently is considered one of the easier techniques.  If I change to a wider grip with palms facing out I can probably reset the goal to 5 sets of 5.

Here's a couple of sets from todays PR :)
