When I was in my early 20's I had a really hard time for reasons I will not bother anyone with. But I became really depressed and obese as a consequence. Later on when I began figuring myself out, the first thing I did was to start calisthenics. I couldn't do a single pull-up then.
My life is very different and I'm a whole different person now that I'm 31. And to symbolize this personal transformation over a decade, I decided to train specifically to 30+ pull-ups in a row.
I'm not an advanced calisthenics athlete. I basically did this 3 things:
- I trained explosively for higher reps;
- I did as much as I possibly could to save energy in between each repetition such as not pausing and kipping the wrists; and
- I trained weighted and isometric pull-ups to build strength.
I don't mean to spam, but if anyone is interested, I documented how I did this little journey in video here. Let me know if I can help anybody out with sources and/or tips ;)
