Pullup Happy Dance!

[michelem]

WOW!!! I am super-impressed!

I've just started trying pull-ups. I can't yet do even one unassisted. Right now, I am using a chair (rest one foot on top/back of chair).

You're my inspiration!

Thanks to all of you for your thoughtful reactions. I did it again this morning but was only able to eke out 2 on the next two sets. I'm blaming it on not enough calories.

MicheleM, did you watch that vid I posted in your p90x thread? Get one of those resistance bands. They are so nice to use for assistance. You get the full motion without having to push off of something. I can't recommend it enough. Do pullups with one of those for a few weeks and you'll be doing them unassisted before you know it.

MP, I NEVER got one of those PPF patches. It took me years to get over that. I also was one of the last to be picked for kickball. Yeah, that still haunts me, too.

lph, I used to dabble in both rock and ice climbing, but my partners moved on and, well, I just quit doing it. I loved ice climbing; definitely sticks in my head as one of the toughest things I've ever done. I might get back into it someday...

aka_kim, I'm definitely math challenged and I can't make a decent souffle. I can't whistle, either. So there.
