I was hoping to do 15 sets of 3. I kind of went crazy though. After the 15th set, I really got fired up. I was in my basement all alone, pumping my fist, and yelling. I thought, could I do 75 total pull-ups tonight? Then I hit 75 and thought, maybe I can do 100? I passed 100 and thought the end might be near, but I kept on going, one set after another. Pretty soon, 150 was in sight. I think I was pretty much foaming at the mouth by this point. After my 51st set (153 total), I felt a pain on the palm of my right hand. I looked down and a chunk of skin about the size of a quarter was ripped off pretty deep. This was no time to stop now! I found a glove in the other room and put it on, and then kept going. I ended up completing 63 sets of 3. For me, it is pretty cool when a workout can inspire yourself. I am now wondering. Can I do 1,000 pull-ups in a single setting someday? Also, if I do that, will I have any skin left on my hands?

The quote on the poster described the way I felt during my workout today. "To acomplish great things we must not only act but also dream; Not only plan, but also believe" Not every workout can be this way. But this is what my "Ironquest" is all about.
