@xxusaf1rexx Sounds like Calimove's workout A: reach 5x your max in as short time as possible. I usually do series of 4 with 40-50s pause in between (currently aiming for 55 reps in these workouts)

@blessingposter23 Indeed Ill integrate weighted pull ups in my routine soon :) just willing to finish Calimove's challenge and measure progress achieved first.

@mudmixer Man, I started about a year ago at age 40. Like you I have 2 kids (3 and 5 yo), a full time job and various things keeping me busy. Your progress is impressive. Im inspired!! Thx for sharing! Agree that 3x week may be too much. I have noticed it in the past month or so, as I have...
