I'll have to find someplace to put a bar, but I've been thinking about that for a while now anyhow.

I've been totally neglecting pull-ups. For a while I could do five unassisted chin-ups (palms supinated), but I know I couldn't now, and I've never been able to do a real pull-up. Hopefully they'll have a girly option for those.
Girl, it's posted. You in?

If I recall, the text says you can do them however you want (I use the non-technical terms of hands in front/hands behind). I am pathetic on the hands behind but have no problem with hands in front. Feels very odd/awkward with hands behind...that's the only way I can describe it.

Hubby built me a pull up bar in the backyard for my birthday this year. 2.5 months after surgery I could still do 6 in a row (I guess residual strength?). Now it's a struggle for me to do five. I need to get back at it.
