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.
Woo-hoo!
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:):)
Great! Inspire us with a picture of your awesome arms.
This is my current favorite picture.

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

Woot! Awesome and inspiring! I love the quotation. Thanks:)

Yipee
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:)Quote:
