I almost answered your beginner thread post but then didn't (obv).
When I put pullups/chinups into 5/3/1 I couldn't do multiple sets of 10 at all either. What I did was set a goal of ~50 and then did sets of whatever reps weren't too taxing (had at least 2 left in the tank). At first this meant 13 sets of pullups and 11 sets of chinups to complete the 50 (or close to it). I can't actually kip where I do my pullups but imagine intentionally kipping to get extra reps is << just doing way more sets of lower reps. I'd do a number of reps low enough where you can do it in between sets of all your other work and it won't really take any extra time either.

I fear the answer is that I'm now an old man
Hmmmm, aren't you on an aggressive cut? And there are the minicores. But, seriously, now that I've actually been cutting (not even that aggressive), I don't crash, but am actually thinking about whether I should add caffeine to my life.

Yeah. This obv. You just tag team in on the nights his wife needs some of that 3some action. Win-win-win.

I do that 4x/week but am thinking of scaling back. Also b/c I'm getting sick of tuna.
