Short training session with a personal best... my training diary entry from October 1 2026
(Don't they look delicious? My wife and I treated ourselves to these two mojitos when we were at the "Strand Pauli" bar by the Elbe in Hamburg.)
Hi Actifitters,
even though I wrote just yesterday that I was taking it easy and skipping training due to a potential cold, I gave in to the urge. By midday, I felt fit, and there was no longer any sign of a cold coming on. It probably would have been better to wait another day or two, but poor judgment won out.
And so, after a break of nearly a week, I turned my attention back to reverse pull-ups. Naturally, I hadn't expected to reach an interim goal—and thus a new personal best—right away. Perhaps I should take a week off more often after a longer period of training. Here are the numbers:
The previous goal according to the training plan (33):
| set 1 | set 2 | set 3 | set 4 | set 5 | break between sets |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4 | 9 | 6 | 6 | 8 | 120 seconds |
My previous attempt (32):
| set 1 | set 2 | set 3 | set 4 | set 5 | break between sets |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3 | 8 | 6 | 6 | 9 | 120 seconds |
Yesterdays attempt (34):
| set 1 | set 2 | set 3 | set 4 | set 5 | break between sets |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4 | 9 | 6 | 6 | 9 | 120 seconds |
The next goal according to the training plan (36):
| set 1 | set 2 | set 3 | set 4 | set 5 | break between sets |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 5 | 8 | 7 | 7 | 9 | 120 seconds |
Reaching the next milestone requires a total of two additional reverse pull-ups. I am curious to see how long it will take me to surpass this goal as well. After that, there are two more stages in the training plan before the next performance test. Then I’ll see if I’m finally able to do a proper overhand pull-up or two. When I started training, I couldn't do a single clean pull-up.
Oh, and Actifit once again recorded only a little over half of my actual steps.
Mission 80 (Day 95 = 86.2 kg / Goal = 80.0 kg / Initial weight = 90.0 kg / Total loss = 3.8 kg)
I was actually good about my calorie intake yesterday. That’s why I’m a bit surprised that I’ve gained 300 grams since yesterday.
Since I’m feeling good today and slept very well, there’s no reason not to do a little training. I won’t push myself to the limit just yet, but a few close-grip push-ups and maybe a short session on the exercise bike should be manageable.
