this weekend I went on a really good walk and was partially lamenting the fact that I felt like I hadn't made much progress lately. And then outta nowhere had a great day today!
A mini-goal of mine for the past few months has been trying to pull as hard with 3 fingers as I can with 4 fingers. Some people can pull harder with 3 fingers than they can with 4 but when I started I was about half as strong. For the past few months or so I've been stuck at around 70 to 75 lbs and today it moved easy. I ended up pulling 105 lbs with each hand. About a 50% increase in one day. CRAZY! And then I set an all-time best with my left hand. And then I sent my moonboard project. And then I got a weighted pull-up PR.
One must imagine that occasionally Sisyphus reaches a plateau and gets to turn around and admire how far he's come before resuming the pushing.
