Hi Actifitters,

three weeks have passed since my last performance test. Back then, I managed seven pull-ups with resistance band assistance. Since then, I've successfully completed six stages of my training plan. Yesterday, the next performance test was scheduled, and I knew that three very short nights' sleep would prevent me from performing at my best. Nevertheless, I was optimistic and expected a significant improvement. However, this didn't materialize, as I only managed nine pull-ups. Of course, that's an improvement compared to the last test, but two more pull-ups after three weeks of training is a bit disappointing.

The good thing is, however, that I don't have to repeat the past six training levels, as I can start the next higher training phase with the nine pull-ups I've managed yesterday.

The following six training levels look like this:

set 1	set 2	set 3	set 4	set 5	break between sets
3	5	3	3	max (min. 5)	120 seconds

set 1	set 2	set 3	set 4	set 5	break between sets
4	6	4	4	max (min. 6)	120 seconds

set 1	set 2	set 3	set 4	set 5	break between sets
5	7	5	5	max (min. 6)	120 seconds

set 1	set 2	set 3	set 4	set 5	break between sets
5	8	5	5	max (min. 8)	120 seconds

set 1	set 2	set 3	set 4	set 5	break between sets
6	9	6	6	max (min. 8)	120 seconds

set 1	set 2	set 3	set 4	set 5	break between sets
6	9	6	6	max (min. 10)	120 seconds

I am curious to see how long it will take to master these levels.

On top of the performance test I made side crunches followed by an relaxed hour on my indoor trainer.

Since I finally got a good and long night's sleep, I'm feeling pretty good today. Because of this, I'm finally going to train harder today. I'll tell you how it went in tomorrow's report.
