I participated in this study at Stanford for a while. The results are pretty dramatic. I doubled the number of pull ups that I could do in six weeks and went from being able to do 12 reps of 155 on bench to 12 reps of 175.



Looking back at my own logs from three summers ago, I see it took me from June 5 to July 17 to go from 12 pullups to 24. It seems like your rate of improvement is about par for pullups and a little below average for bench press. I doubt the glove made any difference.


That's very good progress, but I'm not convinced the glove is what's responsible. That sounds like reasonable gains for someone who is working out regularly and trying to improve. Good, of course, but still within reason.
