Have you ever been stuck at a certain number(reps) of exercises?
For examples, squats, push-ups, pull-ups.
In July last year, I hit my maximum record of 11 pull-ups for my life after 50.
Since then, my numbers haven’t increased at all.
It can be called as ‘a pull-up plateau’ like ‘a weight-loss plateau.’
It’s been almost a year, and there hasn’t been any significant change in my weight; I have been maintaining 69 to 70 kg (152 to 154 lbs).
My workout routine has also stayed about the same.
1 hour of weight exercise in two days every week.
So, what’s the problem?
The answer might simply be that I am getting a little older every day. Actually every hour, every minute, every second.
Occasionally, when I feel in great physical condition, I barely manage to do 12 pull-ups. Yes, literally ‘barely’.
However, my personal standard is being able to do 12 clean pull-ups three days in a row or every other day.
Therefore, I am currently not meeting my own standard.
My goal is to ‘comfortably’ do ‘clean’ 12 pull-ups by the end of 2026.
Hopefully, I can make it happen!
