I am male, 32 years old, 190cm tall, and I weigh 96kg. I recently got into strength training again and these are some things I can now do:

  • 1x5x85kg deadlift

  • 3x8x57.5kg bent over barbell row

  • 3x12x24kg single-arm dumbbell row

I never managed to do a clean pull-up in my life. I did pull-ups in the past with arms that are not fully extended (~140 degrees) when I was about 10kg lighter.

I now intend to do scapular pull ups, dead hangs, and reversed pull ups, probably at least every fourth day, and probably in such a way that it is very straining but not until failure. At the same time I also intend to keep up other exercise, overall doing strength training every second day (with every second training session including the pull-up work). I want to continue barbell rows in workouts that do not include pull-up work, but I want to drop the single-arm dumbbell rows for now.

I am reasonably excited about learning this, but I have a history of dropping my exercise goals, usually for health-related reasons (e.g., injuries or chronic-ish fatigue). In the coming week specifically I probably can't train since there is no gym or even pull-up bar around where I am, but afterward I should be able to train pretty consistently.

If anything in my workout habits changes, this does not invalidate the market. Thus, the market is not in any way conditional on me actually training in the way I intend to train. The market also does not ask for when I have the *ability* to do my first pull-up, but for when I actually do it; Though note that I do intend to do my first pull-up roughly when I'm first capable to do so.

The market only asks for my first clean pull up, meaning only one answer can resolve as "yes".
