This is my first post here, even though I have been lurking forever. I just needed to share that after almost 6 months of P90x, and being a girl (not that it means anything )......

I did my first unassisted chin up yesterday!!!! I am so excited!!

Chin ups and pull ups were one of my main goals in doing p90x (and pushups lol). So I am very excited that I am almost all the way there! I was showing a friend how to do assisted pull ups and the progression to regular ones, and then hung down and said "I can't do these ones yet." When I went to pull myself up, I just kept going and going, until I was up over the bar!! I'm still on cloud nine!!
Yay for workout victories!!

Anyone else have an exercise victory they would like to share??

thats amazing. Mine came after three months of bootcamp. Ive never been able to cross the monkey bars ever! SO when i finally made it all the way there and back on adult sized monkey bars I was over the moon.

Congrats and keep up the good work!

That's great! I did P90X last year and I've done it some this year, but I still can't do a pull up. Of course, part of my problem is that I mainly use bands instead of a pull up bar, but I'd be super excited to be able to do one pull up. You should be really proud of yourself!

Great job! You must be very proud!!

I know!! I have always had really weak arms, and was always the kid who couldn't even hang on the monkey bars without falling! I'm so incredibly excited, I can't even explain it. Now I have to go find some monkey bars to see if I can do them!!!

Congratulations! I've never, in my entire life, done a pull up!

Congrats! This was my origianl goal as well, about a year ago. And, like you, 6 months later (without P/90x, just working alot on lats, biceps, deltoids, and trapezius, and doing negatives), I was able to do an unassisted chinup! Now, I can do 2. 3 on a really good day, if I do it at the beginning of the workout.

Awesome job!! Keep getting stronger!!

Chin ups and pull ups are one of my ultimate goals,lol. I can do half pushups now, maybe around 10 in a row. By half pushup, I mean not lowering chest/chin all the way to the ground, but at least until my elbows are at right angles.

congrats my goal is pull ups and inverted push ups

Way to go! I am a bit jealous but in a good way. My goal is to do a pull up as well and I've never been able to do one. I am convinced that when I finally am able to do 1 I will be able to increase that to 2 and on from there. It will get easier as I continue to lose the extra weight.

Thanks for sharing with us!
