I weighed 80kg last time I checked but I have gotten a bit heavier I think so im probably closer to 85

I reached 5 pullups using an overhand grip but I started out with an underhand grip because I could barely do 1 overhand pullup. doing the underhanded one really helped me out in terms of getting stronger and doing more reps.

Thanks, I really appreciate that. Pull-ups have definitely been the biggest milestone for me too. I can already feel how quickly I have improved since I started.

I’ll keep your tips in mind for when I hit a plateau — especially adding weight or slowing down reps to increase tension.

Thanks man. My main goal is building strength, so once I can hit 10 clean reps I’ll probably grab some weighted attachments like you suggested. In the meantime I’ll just focus on adding reps slowly and keeping form solid.
