If you take on challenges that are beyond your strength, then there is the possibility of growing and staying beyond your life. If your superpower isn't clear, you'll have to make your superpower health in order to have time.
More tries, more chances, more opportunities.
Nothing is promised, but it's worth trying...
I wrote recently about how I bet a friend on 12 pull-ups before mid-May. The odds are not even, as he can do 8 pull-ups now, I can do 4. Although, if you think about it, that's a small thing compared to the ultimate goal I'm pursuing beyond this life. So I accepted the bet. Not right away. The fear of losing was still around and holding my hand. The fear is always there somewhere. But I got used to it, it's been my buddy lately... He's been out of the circle of enemies for a long time now.
Most of the time, we don't have time for the very things that really matter. I threw my physical condition away a year ago, when I stopped running because of a knee problem. All exercise went into the same hole, so I'm like a wiener hanging out to dry on the bar. I have to do the impossible if I want to do 12 pull-ups possible...
I've had this kind of practice in the past, I was partially already regaining my form. It was a zero to one hundred. To be specific, from 0 pull-ups, to 6-7 in 3-4 summer months. But it's winter (yes, we have winter until May), so it's more interesting.
Without further ranting, I want to get to the point. That is, even more words than we had before. How's this for you?
In all areas of my vibrant and varied life (no), I'm finding the bottom right now. Wait, that's a big deal. Because I'm trying to push myself away from it, and it turns out that I'm hitting another bottom. You know, it's even funny how much I don't care about it anymore. Not in the sense that I'm resigned to it. No, I'm used to getting up. I don't think I'm afraid to get up anymore, whatever happens in the future.
I'm ready for those falls.
And that will be my number one superpower!
Up Man...
So, I have a goal and the goodness I have a system. All I had to do was get my pull-ups up to 5 times. If less, the system is different. Now I'm doing 5 at a time, so the system is very simple, you might want to try it out for yourself. Or it might help someone as much as it helps me.
It's very simple, if you can do 5 pull-ups one time, you can do 4 for the second, 3 for the third, 2 for the fourth and 1 for the fifth. So we have a staircase of 5 pull-ups to start with. All in one day, just to be crystal clear).
The next day, you do:
5-4-3-2-2
So you're doing 1 more pull-up each day, but it looks like enough for the body to both grow and not work out. If you train 5 per day, then on the fifth day, we get + 1 pull-up to the maximum. That is:
5-4-3-2-1
5-4-3-2-2
5-4-3-3-2
5-4-4-3-2
5-5-4-3-2
And yes, I was wrong, on day 6 only:
6-5-4-3-2
The theory has been tested in practice by many people, including myself. But here's the thing, will I be able to do 12 pull-ups in mid-May? Theoretically yes, practically I will know only at the end of this challenge.
What am I doing now and what am I going to do?
First, I'm going to do another run to try out my knee. Hopefully I'll get back to my 5 kilometers at a time, that will give me stamina. Right now, I go outside every day in minus 5–10 degrees to do my approaches. Naturally, I wear gloves, so I don't freeze to the iron bar.
I don't like to lose...
The price of losing isn't just my face.
The price is something else, I invite you to guess. But I tell you right away, this is a very crazy condition from our Russian childhood. But if your version is very close to the truth or if I like it so much that I feel sorry for it, there will be a separate prize.
And since it's related to Ecency, that would be 1,000 ecency points.
I wonder how many people will make it to that point.)
That's it for now.
Best of luck and strength to everyone, including me!
