So my main goal for this cycle is to get back up to 10 pullups and 10 ring dips. I have a few other skill goals at BV that require some stronger legs so I included deadlifts a few weeks in but my consistency wanes with it. At some point I started a step challenge of 15,000 steps a day, something like 7 miles a day. I dropped handstand pushups early on because ring dips took so much out of me. Including L-sits and handstands kind of randomly if I feel like it on the days that I'm strength training. Rows, dips, and hanging relate more to my shoulder health but I'm not always doing them. I would like to include weighted pull-ups, weighted ring dips, and HSPU in the next cycle. On top of all this on any given day I am doing: a comprehensive stretching routine, buildering, parkour runs, routes, acro training, swimming, and running. I've not been very good about tracking everything but I'm doing better than I was and trying to get more organized. I also noticed that my weight jumped up almost immediately when I started this cycle and I've been kind of hovering around 168 trying to drop it. To be honest it has to be overconsumption of salt because there's no way I gained 8 lbs so quickly, I've just got a lot of water retention. Latest strategy is alternate day fasting and portion control, and low salt, details soon. Towards the end of the cycle, everything just kind of drops off except the pull ups and dips but at least I kept those.

I'm used to being at 160 and struggling around that area so it has been very frustrating to deal with my dietary failures. I know it has not just magically "jumped up" I'm just eating too much but trying my best to mitigate it. i would really love to get back down to 155 where I was before, I'm sure it would make pull-ups much easier.

A little frustrated with the inconsistent pullup numbers in this 6th week so will probably scale back down to at least 5 reps with some weight whilst checking pull-up numbers every so often. was able to pullup with +25lb today though.

Pull-nope
Dip-nope
tried a few but couldn't really get past 6, still feeling tired and sore from it and other adventures, swimming mostly
Deload week^
So to recap, I got up to about 9 pullups and 9 ring dips, got a bit stronger in a lot of other areas and seems like I've had a natural deload week on the 6th week because I hardly did anything, so now I'm hitting the weight this week with pull-ups/dips and I need to be more organized/not fall off at the end of my cycle. Also bodyweight went up for a bit in the beginning, then dropped back to the same. at least I know how to maintain the weight but I really need to start dropping it more consistently. I just want to be done with "dieting" soon. oh yeah and I made this cool graph:
