I wanted to ease myself into 20 rep squat, because I thought starting at my 10 rep and doing 20 reps would burn me out too quickly. So I started at 140, which was really too easy. It got kind of hard to breathe and my back kind of started feeling it, but my legs no.
Also did the 20 pullovers with 25
Was a vag on other crap though
superset 90 second break
shoulder press 40 lbs. each hand, 1x10 1x9 1x6
Pullups 3x5 (first set 6)
I always get chinups and pullups confused, by pullups I mean you have your palms facing out, those are alot harder for me.
burnout
curl and arnold press 25s, 1x9

I'm kind of dissapointed that my pullups aren't improving.
Do you think triceps are used in pullups? it kind of feels like it but I dont' see how it could be.

I haven't read your entire journal start to finish, so I apologize if I'm answering something above.
But thinking about your pull-up progress (or lack thereof): (1) How are your lat pulldowns? and (2) Do you add extra negative reps?
Those are two ways I can think of making more progress on the pull-ups.
My tris definitely engage on pull-ups, but my tris engage on everything (as opposed to my bi brachis that don't want to play ever). I don't believe they are a significant part of the pull-up when compared with the rest of the upper arm/shoulder/back muscle groups - e.g., pecs, traps, rhoms, etc.
