50 pull-ups at once (Season 2) - Breaking plato

First season ended up with fail, or Plato.

Note: Plato - is a period of time during your training, when results do not increase, may even decrease a bit, while you are training with the same intensity.

Thus second season I started with thought - I have to break the Plato. Both of them - physical and psychological. Because I simply couldn't believe that I can do more than 30 pull-ups. It was enough to remember feelings after 15 pull-ups to understand that no way!


I've collected recommendations from Internet and my friends, and here are possible solutions:

50 pull-ups at once (Season 1) - Plan doesn't work.

I'm challenge addicted! I understood it just after my first challenge was accomplished. Thats why I decided to add some pepper to my life. Sure, Ironman is very nice dish, but it takes a lot to prepare, and I want to eat during this preparation as well.

Finally I found two appropriate goal: "50 pull-ups in 7 weeks" and "100 push-ups in 6 weeks". In this article I'm gona describe my pull-ups story.

Back in childhood, it were pull-ups showing power of guys in my school or street. Those who could do more than 20 were real athlets in my eyes, and few of then, who could do 30+ had half transparent halo around the biceps, imperceptibly for themself.

I thought it was the order of things, being in business trip in US, to cross free time I've got, admiration from childhood and training plan - "50 pull-ups in 7 weeks". See how it was.
