Carolyn14 Posted April 17, 2013 Report Share Posted April 17, 2013 I having been trying to do pullups for over a month now. Lifting heavy on back day, and working negatives, assisted, and almost gave up. It seemed like I would neverbe able to do even one. I would just hang there like dead weight. That is one of my challenge goals. I listed 2 sets of 3 pullups. I think now I should change it. Because today I did 3 sets of 2 pullups! I didn't even expect it. I thought I would just hang there and struggle as usual. But I didn't. I raised myself up. Then down, Then up again. I don't know how because yesterday I couldn't even do one. Maybe it's a mental thing. BUT it doesn't matter................because I did it! I feel like a 52 year old badass! Link to comment
