I can do maybe one pull up or two by myself.
Body weight is a huge fator and limb length. the longer your limbs are the harder it is to do a pull-up, it's all about leverage.
It looks like you're making good progress Susan!

OK, so I still can't do a chin-up. BUT, this morning, I climbed the the rope hanging from the ceiling. Big thick sucker, with knots in it every, i dunno, 24 inches or so. I couldn't do that a few weeks ago.

Now I am curious to see if I can still do them. I used to be able to knock them out -- lots of them - quite easily, but that was back in my Army days. Those days are behind me.
