max rep pull ups

Feel like I am slipping a little, but then again I had just done the 603 WOD a few hours earlier

30 Kipping Pull Ups

A very rare few hours of sun light, no rain and temperatures above 50 degrees
(ALL AT ONCE)

came my way today, so in addition to yard work, I did a little playing around on the bar

Because of the very opposite of the above mentioned factors, I have had really no time on the BAR in many weeks, maybe about 6-8. What I have had are the following:
The Kipping Pull Up performed on Rings
Dead Hang Pull Ups
Weighted Pull ups
False Grip Chin ups
Muscle Ups

I have been working pretty hard on some combination of these for the last 6 weeks, and they clearly carry over nicely, as my last max test for Kipping Pull Ups on a standard bar was at least 3 months ago, and I have had little training other than a random WOD here or there since.

Chuggin along

OHS for Reps Progress; 6 sets of 9 with 115lbs... that's 6210 pounds, in about 16 minutes. ~388lbs/min.

Friday calls for 10 sets of 8. That will be about 9200 pounds. Probably take about 90 seconds rest between sets, so I am guessing it will take about 23 minutes. It's about 400lbs/min.

There will be two more workouts, slightly less total volume, to taper up for another test next Friday. That will hopefully surpass 21 reps, and it will be time to start training with 135lbs.

I've also been working on building up the volume on the kipping pull ups following the same progression. The longest workouts have been 12 sets of 5 reps, or 60 in one sitting. That took about 20 minutes to finish, so not too earth shattering yet. There will be a retest coming up there as well.
