Hi Actifitters,

yesterday, reverse pull-ups were on the agenda again. Just like last time, I reached the intermediate goal on my very first attempt. The following tables show where I currently stand.

The previous 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

My previous attempt (34):

set 1	set 2	set 3	set 4	set 5	break between sets
4	9	6	6	9	120 seconds

Yesterdays attempt (36):

set 1	set 2	set 3	set 4	set 5	break between sets
5	8	7	7	9	120 seconds

The next goal according to the training plan (41):

set 1	set 2	set 3	set 4	set 5	break between sets
5	10	8	8	10	120 seconds

While I’m optimistic that I can make a slight improvement in my next workout, I can’t imagine managing five more reps right away. It remains to be seen.

I spontaneously swapped my planned cycling session for a balance board workout. It really made me sweat and burned a good number of calories.

Mission 80 (Day 100 = 85.8 kg / Goal = 80.0 kg / Initial weight = 90.0 kg / Total loss = 4.2 kg)

Finally, the number before the decimal point is a 5 again. I’d be happy for things to stay this way for a few more days before I head off on vacation on Sunday.

After a short break, I’m actually planning to do some cycling training again today. I also want to do a few core stability exercises.
