@viceroy63 With hockey tape the black stains and gets black glue gunk everywhere. You can get black linen tape that's a lot less gooey but hockey tape is extra sticky. White hockey tape is better for that if you're using hockey tape specifically.
@thriftfabulous Awesome job! I am just about in the middle of the same journey you just completed (300-->260) and I'm about 1 inch off my first strict pull-up.
You've inspired me to go practice some more before the Open.
