I'm active duty U.S. Navy on deployment in North Africa, I'm on a small ship about 200 guys, we are lucky enough to have a gym.
some of the guys hung up a board to track the best, like the most push ups without stopping. The most squats.
Well I hit 15 pull ups on the gymnastic rings, not to bad for a 44 year old man hanging with a bunch 20 something guys

    I can tell I'm a mom as I immediately thought.. of potty training and diapers. Anyhow, that's awesome and many congrats to you! One of my goals is to be able to do unassisted pull ups someday. :)

    Not really harder on the rings the hard part was the ship is at sea so we are rock and rolling so besides trying to do pull ups I'm swaying back and forth
