High frequency pullups

Daily pullups has been feeling pretty fine so far. Originally this was a measure to get around not being able to do other back work (due to my lower back injury), but it has morphed into a fun side quest that gives a ton and demands very little.

Sets are super setted with my main movement of the day, never done to failure, performed on rings, and grips vary set to set.

Ive noticed a wider, more defined back. Arm size has not leveled up that much, but im not doing nearly enough volume to warrant that. In Chad Waturberys article describing his summer of pullups, he describes doing 100+ daily. Im barely scratching 40 daily. While i am pushing the reps every day, its not been that vital to me to increase that daily load by spending more time in the gym or burning sets out.

It will be interesting to see where i can take this once i get to day 100+. To be continued.
