I was hoping to be more succesful with the wider grip.
It did indeed put more strain on the shoulder.
I think what I'm going to do at the gym is find out at what let off I can do 6 full ROM and go for 3 sets of 6 and try to decrease the let off every two weeks or something.
Thanks.

Best pull up grip width is one hand's width wider than your shoulders, no more.

my usual grip is just a bit wider...circumstantial at this point as I min/maxed pipe sizes. see pics above. so, i'm working ok.
very, very crappy day fighting with girlfriend...I know it shouldn't bleed over to my training but all I did today, besides teach class, was:
regular pullup routine from workout #1, as negatives w/ 7 count holds at top and a 2-3 count drop.
3x4 band assisted pullups, 1 minute rests
4x15 pushups, 1 minute rests.

That's still a workout. Real life always happens. And don't push too hard to get these pullups happening. Take a week off soon and you'll make new gains when you go back to it.
Haoli
basically took the weekend off.
Did some pullups yesterday
Atttempted a set of 6. I think my first one was a little closer to the top and the other 5 were all incrementally lower. I held for 10 at the top of each rep.
Then I took a 2 minute rest and then did 4x2 w/ 5 second holds at the top and 1 minute rests.
Had a work weekend at the school to finish getting it ready for the open house. It looks sweeet. I'll post a pic. Lot's of help from my students, too.
I'm planning on taking the week off from strength and just do cardio. I'll be doing demos saturday most of the day and want to be good and fresh.
oh, and I screwed my elbow up training w/ my teachers early in Jan. It clicks and I can't make a fist and rotate it w/o much pain. There is a bruise that is staying fresh and has for like 3 weeks now. I'm gonna take stock out on my ortho...

had a flashback last night while doing some staff work.
this elbow thing may not be an impact injury.
last year when I took my canoe out on my first, and only, Class V run my elbow was sore for a week or so in exactly the same spot it is now. I felt then it was from executing what's called 'cross stroke'

in this new form i'm learning there are some moves that approximate that ROM. So, I'm thinking I tweaked it with that as well as getting kicked in it.
taking the week off to concentrate on forms and other demo stuff for my open house...frankly just don't have the time with trying to get organized for it all.
