    Male/ 24 / 166 / 12 / 8

    This is the first exercise I do on bicep/shoulder/back day. I used to not be able to do more than 3 or 4, about a year ago when I weight only 145 lbs.

    I can only do two. I just can't seem to bridge the gap where you go from 1 and 2 -> 3 and beyond.

    F / 39 / 129 lbs.

    With the assisted pullups on the absolute lowest weight setting (which I think by default is 10#) I can do 5 with ease. My shins barely touch the kneepad and I don't feel like I'm putting any weight on it.

    Without the thingie to kneel on, I'm too short to reach the bar, so I have to jump up and I can lower and raise myself a little, but not with my arms fully extended.

    I'm working on it, though.

    < 0 or better yet < 0.25

    seriously, I can't even manage to hang on.

    Now, weight assisted that's another story... although I haven't used one of those machines in years.

    This^^

    Even as a child when I was skinny I couldn't swing out of the monkey bars! Have no upper body strength to the point where (never admitted this to anyone!) I get tired holding the hair dryer above my head while drying my hair after a minute... Very embarrassing!!

    Doing weights at the moment in the hope that improves and my goal is to be able to do at least one pull up.

    Then to make me feel worse my boyfriend showed me this video of people with absolutely incredible core, upper body strength and agility. Have hit the weights harder ever since.

    SA = 2

    LA = M / 42 / 199.5 / 2 / Why in God's name would I embarrass myself by trying to do this, failing utterly and weeping for several hours? (Note to self: go home and see how many of these you can do!)

    m / 44 / 175lbs / 15 was my max.

    Underhand, I could probably do 20?

    My *kitten* is far too heavy for me to lift in any form of pullup. I need to lift NOW. Cannot emphasize that enough: NOW.
