I did it!!!!!!!

[Veronica]

Did my first unassisted pull up last night, chin totally over the bar. I almost did a second one, got my nose to the bar, but couldn't get any higher.

I set a new jump rope record too, 281 jumps in a minute. I'm glad today is my rest day. :eek:

Wow, Veronica! Good for you! I haven't tried to do a pull up in years. Don't think I could even get half-way.

[OakLeaf]

Woo-hoo!

[Pika]

Awesome!!! Way to go:):)
( as that is still on my list I am glad to hear it is possible-I was beginning to think I had chosen an impossible task- but your post gives me new hope:):)

It's on the front of my training log with the quotation, "Discipline is remembering what you want."

I think one of the things that really helped is sometimes my trainer would have me do "jumping pull ups". I would stand on a step and jump and pull myself up over the bar. I think it sort of trained my arms to do the motion.

Thanks for the hint! I will try that- might have to wait for another trip to the gym as my pull up bar at home seems a little sketchy for that:)
I have visions of lying on my back in the doorway with the bar in my hands-:)
