    Ok so this is probably silly. I really want to do chinups again. I struggle with them (partly cuz I can't find anywhere to get a full hang, or even an almost full hang, and it seems to bother my back to tuck my legs in front or behind). Anyways, I digress.

    So now I am doing 3 sets of 4 chinups. The first one or two, I can usually get all the way up. Then I put my feet on my bar and try to assist as little as possible, being sure to go all the way full hang and back up.

    I definitely feel it working, and I'm getting stronger... But here's my silly chinup training gif.

    I may change it to pull up, though, because the straight bar is not the best feel on my wrists. And pullups are cooler.

    You're putting in the work. That's all that matters, and you found a way to do it with what you have. Love the shrug at the end like "here it is take it or leave it."

    Thank you! 😊 I'd much rather not have to adapt, but... Eventually!

    Yeah that's pretty much what it was. It's humbling to only be able to do one. πŸ€ͺ

    At least you're doing them! 1 becomes 2 and 2 becomes 3 quickly with practice.

    On a good day I can get 2. The assisted pullup machine, or band assists are my friend :)

    I tried doing a band assist once. Then the band slipped off and hit me in the face. I rethought my approach after that. Haha πŸ˜‚

    I LOVED the assisted pullup machine at the gym. Man, I'd love a gym membership.

    Also... I'm finally progressing enough on curls to want to use the curl bar. That makes me happy!

    Not every day is a PR day. You’re getting the work in which is just as important.
    It looks like a good session. Truly inspirational.

    Impressive. Is that an axle bar? Your spotter looks like he’s concerned you are gonna toss that thing over your head and behind you. 🀣🀣🀣
