Thanks, ghost. :)

I was doing GTG and making progress for a while, then Mr. Muse took down the pullup bar because he kept walking into it and banging his head. :P He has since re-mounted it, but the screws are stripped and so it feels really loose/unsafe when I get up on it. So I've been hesitant. I need to just look at the possibility of falling as an opportunity to practice my landings, and get back on my GTG... erm... groove. :P

Thanks for the puns, btw, Laurie; and the general encouragement, everyone. Getting back to it today.

erm, to get the thread back on topic:

I'm astonished to see that there are people doing 150 pullups.


150?!?!?!?! Is this an accumulated total over time?

9091.

Slow down, people! For the love of Pete!

150 isn't THAT big of a number especially if you're GTG sets of 15-20 per. Who knows what he's doing though.

edit: well there you go. It's sets of 25. :P

Ah, well that makes sense. ;)

And honestly, don't slow down. No reason you all should alter your goals just because I've been lazy on mine. My "slow down" comments are in jest. If I miss out on this, it's my own fault for slacking, so no worries.

Any thoughts on what should be next since we're almost to the end of this 10,000?

How about we let the person who hits 10,000 pick?

+10 throughout the past day or two. I've been playing with tree-pullups whenever I pass this particular tree.
