A chronicle of my efforts to go past 3x BW pulls again.
I find the more I hold myself accountable through diarying, logging, etc., the more consistent my results.
I've always been a rather natural puller but tend to get beat up by other barbell lifts; couple that with the fact I've gotten a bit older and wiser, have a small garage set up to make training convenient with kids, and don't have a whole lot of interest in pushing the other movements too much anymore, I'm going to log my efforts to push my pull again.
I've landed on Daily Dose Deadlifts (Daily Dose Deadlift Plan | StrongFirst) as the base of my strength training with a few small personal adjustments which will surface as the log progresses. The reason for the choice of program is the volume and load looks rather reasonable, I have access to everything I need at home, and I've found that the more frequently I pull, the better I feel overall. This should be a great way to start building the foundation back up into heavier weights.

- The caveat would be the standing press and weighted pullup; both have treated me well in the past and after I add a small piece of equipment to the garage (will be adding when gym equipment becomes more reasonably priced again), I am sure I will implement those lifts as well. When I do so is yet to be determined but it will happen.
