Missed yesterdays' workout, again. ¬_¬ But, did it just today, just now. 31:00. Was quite good, albeit shorter than I liked. Getting a lot stronger. My previous 1st set of (palms facing me) pullups was 12, (before that 10) but now I'm at 15, and I have a feeling I can push (or pull!) that to 17 or so. Reminds me of back when I first started doing pushups when I was about 16. xD Speaking of pushups, I'm gradually finding them easier to do, 'though not as much as I'd have thought, given all the other stuff I'm doing, but then I do tend to do them
after a bunch of other stuff. (like pullups, which hit some of the same muscles)
I tend to just stick with interval training, ... one of the reasons for this, is because of my OCD, ... all this crap about numbers gets me obsessed and it all becomes a competition with myself. (like the time I did 100s of situps in one sessions and went through a fair bit of pain, ... why? NUMBERS!) The beep noise tells me to STOP and NOT do anymore, and makes counting the reps pointless.
I've actaully just realised I'm at the point now in which I'm doing too many pullups and need to up the weight, ... but how!? 'o.O Those weighted jackets are expensive as buggery. I guess I could try wearing super heavy boots. :P I have a rucksack in which I could stash some weights, but that's not really good enough. Some people stick a dumbbel between their legs (giggety!) but I'm worried I'll drop it and break the floor. x_x Guess I have pullups for some muscle gain and defintion. I guess I could stop focusing on the 'palms facing me' one, and go for the 'palms facing each other' one, and the 'palms wide, facing away' one. (God, I really need to find out what those 3 exercises are actually called)
The pullup thing I struggle with the most, not surprisingly, because it's arguably the hardest one, is the 'palms wide, facing away' one; I think I can do maybe 5 of them in the first set, at most, maybe 7 if I push pretty hard.
This Xmas, I think I'll buy myself a 20KG dumbbell, maybe two, if nobody gifts me it.

Because I really need one. x_x I can't keep lifting 17.5KG. ¬_¬
