NFO? no. SNA? not yet. FNG? yep.
Now that my cast came off (2 weeks ago) I started doing pullups again, now that I can kind of get up and down off of the stand. Before my injury I had been doing chin ups, but I figured that now that I have until next summer to prepare for Jrs that I should start doing them overhand. Anway, my max was 10, so I went from there. That leads to my first question-
Training sets- The Armstrong program suggests that someone who has 12 (2 more than mine) pullups in their max set would have 1 or maybe 2 pullups in their training set. This didn't feel right, so I did 3. On Day 4 I quit after 75 training sets. Has anyone else had a similar experience? This seemed odd to me.
Question 2-
Day 3 calls for 9 training sets, according to the training set explanation. However, during the day-by-day breakdown, it says to do 3 with an overhand grip, then 3 chin ups with your pinkies touching. 3+3=9? No... Another explanation I saw was to do the first 3, the underhand 3, then 3 more overhand, but gripping the bar farther than shoulder width apart, and to touch the back of your neck to the bar. Any thoughts/clarifications?
I probably could have wrote that post in about 1/3 of the words I used, but I'm lazy so there ya go. Thanks
