Tennis Dude Posted February 10, 2014 Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 I have been gearing up for this now for about 4 weeks. In fact I am a nerd now because of my goal of being able to chin and pull up with ease. I was trawling the NET for how to do a proper chin up and I stumbled across Steve's Youtube video - which inevitably led me to where I am now. Here with you great guys. So on Friday - after a lot of inverted rows, and assisted chin ups I managed my first one from a full hanging loose position. It felt great!!! I was so stoked that I thought I would 'go big' and try for the full pull up. Well that I am still working on - in fact I was so far away on that one, I could barely see the bar!!!! This is milestone number one. I still have the pull up to do and whilst I did a chin up it was only one and it definitely wasn't with ease. So the journey continues and I'm loving every step. 1 Quote Tennis Dude (aka Neil) Link to comment

Archer Posted February 11, 2014 Report Share Posted February 11, 2014 Congrats! Inverted pull-ups work great (jumping up, then slowly lowering yourself down) for most people. Quote Jesse Mattson - Philomath, OR - Rangers Lead The Way!my website my blog Link to comment
