Pull Ups

[Reesha]

I think it's important to train your grip as well... If you have weak hands/forearms, pull ups will be a real challenge. There are also these loopy things you can do pull ups on that are supposedly easier to grab. I did enjoy doing them on the pull up assist machine though. Have you ever tried that Susan?

I work out at home so I can't try these, but I can do assisted pull-ups by either asking DH to help by holding one of my feet or putting one foot on the stability ball.
It would still feel great to be able to do them all by myself

I'm quite short and stocky, muscular but heavy, so that is part of the problem for sure.
