Decent gainzzz there Duma... I found for the assisted one armers - warming up and how quickly I got into the hard weights made quite a difference. 5-10 min of Theraband on the shoulders - then I’d go from -16 > -10 > -8 > -6 then start taking off individual kg... seemed to give better results.. I’d then do maybe 2 reps at the max and then I’d drop off a cliff and not even manage another even adding another 5-6kg of assist.. I’ve stopped the 1arm PU training as the golfers on my right elbow is flaring a bit worryingly...
One thing I found that really helped with the low weights is adding weights (in my pockets) rather than taking off. So I get down to 10kg assist then add weights to get down to equivalent 4kg assist. I’m more comfortable with this as I’m still pushing down the same weight on my foot loop. When I drop loads on the assist (eg 4kg) it’s quite a transition in technique not just weight.
F - Baslow. Beautiful day. Nice circuit along the edge to start, did Balls Test which was fantastic as was Hot Ziggerty, although quite spooky up high...
Great week there Spidermonkey. Flatworld is a great tick. 👏👏 Hard...

Cracking day, looks productive for you!

Your one arm training will work wonders for it I think as the problem seemed to boil down to being solid on that left arm while I found the position on the top sidepull. Key was also to really carefully place right foot perpendicular to the block/pointing back towards Curbar in the pocket. Hope that makes sense...Was interested in the left hand as the high pocket looked appealing. There are no videos of this, whats the sequence? RH on the flatty to start I presume?
Found out my 1 rep max was around 30kg and decided to do a pyramid set around this. With weights I used to do it in sets of 80%, 70% and 60% of the 1RP but for pull ups I have found that I can't do it. It seems to work if I do the same percentages but taking the percentage of each drop in weight.

I just work out the percentages on the weight added. +10kg would be too light for the 3 sets of 3. What I worked out seems to work nicely at the moment and I failed towards the end of the last set so it is probably the right intensity.
