GUESS WHO GOT TO 16 PULL UPS IN ONE GO FINALLY!! I really didn't like the last one because my legs rised a bit too high with the last rep, but I'm gonna count that anyway
It was followed by 200 push ups and 360ish sit ups. When I started to go down the pyramid, I decided to do plank, but I realized that my arms won't last the way down so I switched back to sit-ups for awhile until plank was not that taxing anymore. I decided to start practicing handstands again. Not the pike push ups and other that kind of stuff, but just plain handstand against the wall. Something I've realised about myself is that I achieve something mostly when I just try to do it, but when I try to train to reach that goal, then I get stuck somewhere, don't know how to progress and will abandon my goal.
Today was a fun day at the gym. I happened to train at the same time that some practiced boxing and they always put good music on and the men themselves are little (well, quite big actually) balls of energy and joy. Then. They started dancing. It was so funny to watch. I really like my gym. So many fun and interesting people go there and it is entertaining to watch what happens. At times, I'm all alone and that, too, is very welcome.
I didn't work out on Saturday and Sunday because I wanted to get away from my usual routine for awhile and just did what I wanted (walked, watched videos and learned German etc.). I was completely alone (if not to count the rest of the people in the city) and enjoyed the hell out of it. I even tried a new recipe. Marshmallow cereal bars. They taste like heaven, but leave a terrible mess to clean up.

See ya!

I want to do that. Only if I could find an accessible wall...

dynamomelano Hope you find it! And good luck with the practice! If you can you could try to do it outside somewhere

Hwestneth, that's what I thought but i don't like the prying eyes of nosy neighbors.

Started training around 21.30 so I was feeling a bit tired, but it went well

16? That's the number I do in a week!!

Congratulations!!! You're close to the enviable number "20"

Cabriel Thanks!

Training was going quite well. Well, maybe I was a bit lazy on weekends (didn't train at all, except for walking and building a little hut out of what we found in the forest with my brother). And yesterday evening we played tag with my little brother, sister and brother's friend. It was dark outside and I decided to climb a tree. The first branch is quite high, so I climbed the trunk until I reached it (it's about 2,5-3m from the ground). When I saw a good moment to run for the home base, I jumped from the branch and managed to land in a way, that made my finger do a similar sound to what I heard when I broke one. At first, I didn't feel anything but later it started to swell up and hurt in a similar way that my broken finger did when I broke it. It was less painful, though. I hoped it would calm down by today, but nope. It's quite swollen up and I can't move it for more than about a centimetre and whenever it touches something, it is a bit painful. Tried pull ups with two fingers. Didn't work out that well.
I don't know what to do exactly. Should I just wait it out? Or should I go to the doctor. And should I train my upper body in some way or is it best to leave it alone for now?

Chances are, even if it's not broken, it is hurt. It could be a less complex fracture or a sprain or just a pulled whatever. Go get checked if it still hurts tomorrow. Get well soon

As an expert on sprained fingers, I'd say that it's probably... sprained. Can't say much more wo/ seeing it, really

I would go to the doctor / see one online and show him/her the finger (so to speak )

The inflammation should get smaller soon. What you need is rest and ice. Also, wrap the finger for about 24-48h in an elastic bandage and when you see/feel it's getting smaller, tape it to the finger next to it. Although not too tightly at any point!

And still, I'd actually go to see a doctor!

(Get well soon!)

Might be best to see a doctor, it could be anything from a slight bone fracture to torn ligament. Get well soon

Thank you all Gandhalfit KYRO BlackButler

I went to see a doctor (waited around 3-4 hours, so that was fun) and turns out that a little bone shard had broken off.So yeah. No pull ups for 4 weeks

YEOWCH! SUPER HEALING VIBES!

... 4 months

BlackButler Cabriel Thanks, will need them.
