AngelaTheGeek Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 Today after my workout, I decided to jump up on the pull up bar and give it another shot. This time I decided to do kipping style pull ups, and HOLY SHIT I DID TWO!!!!TWO!!!My goal for 2012 was to do one pull-up, and SHIT BALLS TODAY I DID TWO!!!! :topsy_turvy: The best part of it wasn't even the pull ups, it was the cheers and applause from my gym family. It literally brought a tear to my eye. I'm so happy to be there, working with awesome people, and getting loads of support... It definitely has made me who I am today! 90+ Masters Weightlifter Current Lift PRs Snatch: 93kg/205lb // Clean and Jerk: 113kg/248lb // Back Squat: 170kg/375lb Spoiler 2016 USAW Senior Nationals - 6th place 2015 USAW American Open - 8th place 2015 USAW Senior Nationals - 9th place 2014 USAW Senior Nationals - 9th place 2013 USAW Senior Nationals - 9th place Instagram - MyFitnessPal Link to comment

canadafats Posted April 24, 2012 Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 My goal for 2012 was to do one pull-up, and SHIT BALLS TODAY I DID TWO!!!! Awesome job!! I have great respect for people who can do pull-ups. I'm a fat boy with poor upper body strength so for me, I might as well be trying to pull up a beluga! Do or do not. There is no try.
