Hooray for Mondays! In order to make Monday more interesting, we did a little workout called "pull ups on the minute". In this workout, you are given 1 minute to complete a certain number of pull ups. In the first round, you have to do one pull up in a minute, in the second round, you have to do 2 pull ups in a minute....and so it goes until you are not able to do the prescribed amount of pull ups in the minute you are allowed. Some people got as many as 15 rounds! Nice work!

The overall improvement of everyone's pull ups was really highlighted with this workout. We did this back on 7/7/08, and almost everyone improved by 2 rounds and 2 pull ups. I can't explain it...that was just the magic number. Back in July, if you completed 10 rounds, plus 3 pullups, you can expect to bump up to 12 rounds, and about 5 or 6 pull ups within 5 months. Well, at least if you're at our gym you will!
