Another step closer to chin-up, woot!

[Cyberdildonics]

After working at it for two years (and resetting a couple times due to aggravating an old shoulder injury), a couple of weeks ago I finally progressed off the assisted pullup machine and onto pullup/chinup negatives. That's a woot in itself but not as much of one as I managed just now.

 

I installed a lever-pullup bar in the spare room doorway, and I've been doing a couple of negatives every time I've gone past it for the last two weeks. Earlier this week I finally managed to do 5x half pullups (from elbows at ~90 degrees, a fact of which I am proud) but today I finally managed to knock out two chin-ups from 3/4 of the way down (elbows at ~135) !!!

 

I'm so freaking proud of myself!

 

I've now made it my mission to combine my negatives with just hauling from a dead hang to see if I can get up from the bottom. It can't be long now at this rate! Tough Mudder walls: I've got my eye on you!

Woot woot woot!!!!

That's awesome! Pull-ups are my mortal enemy. I hate them with a passion, coz I suck pure donkey ass at them. Way to go on the progression, hope you'll update us when you finally kick ass with the dead hangs

And when you do, do one for me too..

Getting a full pull-up is a real challenge.  Awesome progress!!  You'll have a full one from a dead hang in no time!
