I did two consecutive pull-ups (deadhang in between)!
Embarrassingly, I did this while explaining to a dude that I could only do one, and then made my obligatory effort at another one -- and sailed right up. So it looked like I was being completely insincere ...
Also, I finally got around to visiting the council gym that actually has a squat rack with safety bars (unlike the other one). So I got to do some barbell lifts for the first time in ages, and now my legs are very stiff.
And they have dip bars, so I discovered I can now do a few proper dips.
OTOH, my push-ups still suck. I seem to be incapable of increasing the number I can do. Which is probably because I never manage to be systematic about it.
