chriskra Posted December 23, 2012 Report Share Posted December 23, 2012 A few days ago, after following Steve's "Do A Pullup" plan, I finally accomplished my first strict pullup! I honestly cannot remember ever being able to do one, and not only that, but I tried again tonight, and was able to string together 2-rep sets of both pullups and chinups! It feels totally BA! And it's all thanks to you NF! Chriskra, Level 1 Night Elf RangerSTR 2|DEX 3|STA 2|CON 2|WIS 2|CHA 4"The only easy day was yesterday" Link to comment
