This is the first time I have ever done a pull-up in the 29 years that I have been alive. Even when I was in school, I would just hang there and that was a major struggle for me. One of my goals was to do a pull-up...well, I did! Not perfect form or anything but I got up there!

I got it on tape too! Yeahs for meeting goals! :drinker:

    Nice! For pullups the first one is the hardest.

    Congrats! I busted out my first pull-up last week. Did a couple of them today, so I know how exciting it is.

    Ha! Had just posted yesterday about how this is my medium-term goal- to do a pull up or chin up. I'm going to start working on this.

    YAY!! for you! That's awesome.

    This is awesome :) I will have a go one day, but so far my arms are pathetic with anything over 65lbs, and I weight a lot more than that :)

    Solid work!

    Just for clarity though! That was a chin up, and pull ups are with your palms facing away from you

    I asked my husband and he said either way. Last time I ask him for info. :grumble: but thank you for clarifying! So I did a chin up! Sweet!
