5 sets of 10 pullups weighted with 35 pounds, full extension/dead hang.
I love hearing about other people's fitness achievements because it motivates me to try harder and it gives me ideas of new things to try. Whenever I complete a new achievement that I am proud of I want to tell people too. This is the thread to post your achievements in and motivate each other.
Today I was able to do over a hundred handstand pushups in one day.
What was your latest achievement?

Last year I reached a long term goal of deadlifting 405. I got it for a triple. My bodyweight is pretty much the same as it was then (~165 @ 5'11").
More recently, I've done a weighted chinup with 125lbs of added weight. I still cannot do a single arm chin. I need to work on those, as they were one of the reasons I started doing weighted chins in the first place.
5'10", 145lbs... Steadily closing in on a one-armed chin up (now doing reps of assisted chins with the assisting hand just above my elbow), and closed a 200lb gripper for 2 reps on each hand.

"It’s not about how strong you are, it’s how well you can move with that strength."
I did two negative pullups where I could actually better control my descent than before. I deadlifted 105lbs and it didn't feel very difficult. I squatted 90lbs and it felt like hell.
