It's hard to compare to the previous attempt since this was done at a higher weight with kipping pull-ups, but I did roughly double the kipping pull-ups compared to last time so in general I will call this an improvement. However, the last time this was done was about, oh, three years ago so it's unclear how relevant that really is. Anyway, this can be the new benchmark. JL's getting much better at those pull-ups. I think when we started his max reps for a set was about 5, so he's really shot up there. He keeps injuring his back doing squats and such, so we're probably going to have a light weight form day pretty soon to see if I can fix anything. I thought working some light good mornings or squats into the regular warm-up could be good to strengthen those muscles as well.
