One Pull Up-date
I made this!
For those vaguely interested, am 3 weeks into this epic challenge of one pull up now. Some of you might recognise the bloke at the end too.

The world's strongest men do not look like Ultimate Warrior,
they tend to have muscles for going, not for showing. Furthermore, and I think I've told you before, many of them tend to have your exact body-type.
Impressive that you have spread this idea out for so long. Nice surprise at the end, but Skeletor's let himself go.

Ilkka Nummisto you ain't.
Just reiterating that you're wrong to equate having excess muscle with actual, useful strength.

Keep going!
Working on grip strength can help with bars and weights, suggest a cheap grip strength trainer for this.
The other way I have found to improve arm strength was buying one of these and then only allowing myself to drink using this cup www.amazon.co.uk/GALAXY-BEAUTY-Stainless-Steel-Coffee/dp/B0DQ94X44J

Cheers - I have bought a grip strengthener. Do you take the Galaxy Beauty with you to other people's houses or allow yourself a day off?

I don't understand the question. I take the mug to work and then when I finish work I take it home again.
Why would I go to someone else's house?

I would have an identical one made that only weighs 200g or so.
Then wait for you to be fully used to the heavy one, and secretly swap it mid-drink when you weren't looking.
But we are far apart so this probably won't happen. Probably.
