I was thinking about Matt's reply last night and I realised just what a mine of information he is when it comes to diet & exercise.
It's easy to take this stuff for granted but it takes a lifetime to learn.
Cheers Matt.
Still learning as well mate and probably will be for the rest of my life.
For me it's a hobby so I find it very easy. People say "must be awful having to eat what you do and go to the gym 5 times a week.....?" What they don't seem to understand is that I don't 'have' to do what I do, I 'get' to do what I do. It's a huge privilege to be able to eat well, stay healthy and train in our leisure time.
I hope you try the little pull up programme. I'd be really interested to see if you benefit from it. I tried to make it as close as possible to what you do now so that it isn't any more of a burden. I reckon we could get you doing single sets of 15 to 20 or multiple sets of 10 within 3 months. You already have the base strength there if you can do 10. Trust me there aren't many people who can do 10 pull ups, I know I can't.
Agree not many people can do close to 10 proper reps, including those cross fitters who seem to do half reps.
Before my wrists were fked I could only do 11 or 12. Can still do a pretty long hang with legs straight out working the core.
A friend of mine can do loads, does lots of boxing MMA, weights sod all mind
