pull ups

diamondsword

My partner bought a pull up bar. My eight year old son managed to do a few. I tried and just dangled there, which they both found highly hilarious. Would love to manage at least one. Does anyone know the best exercises I can do to hopefully achieve this.

I am awaiting answers as well. I can lift myself slightly and hang now, but it is taken a long while just to achieve that. In the meantime I do pull ups with assistance (hubby holds my legs). I've been working on push ups as well as weight training the back,shoulders, arms and chest and I believe all that is helping. Unassisted pull ups is one of my goals.
