:v: Completed Pull-up challenge (level 1)

My experience of this challenge is mixed. The first half eased into things nicely for someone who was revisiting pull-ups and starting from scratch — though I had prepared with the negatives challenge. Around day 19 things got hard fast. In the last 7 days I had to seriously sacrifice form in order to complete and I didn't like that. Rushing and cheating became necessary. The sit-ups portion of the challenge got a little wacky but I'm good with it. My suggestion is that this challenge be slowed down significantly and possibly split into two 30-day challenges (level 1 and 2). In summary, ultimately I was able to complete this to my satisfaction and I've made fantastic progress on my pull-up game, but felt it unnecessarily prioritized high rep goals.

There already is a Level 2 Challenge! (I find your experience holds for many of DAREBEE's upper body strength Challenges. They ramp up far too quickly to be able to get through them in a month--unless one is already well beyond the starting level of the Challenge when they begin it.)

Congratulations on making it through the Pull-Up Challenge, in spite of the demanding pace!
