kirstenanke Posted December 5, 2014 Report Share Posted December 5, 2014 Yeah!! After a couple of months' determined concentration on doing my first pull up and actually achieving a chin up a couple of weeks back, today was the day!!! So pleased, a month back I really thought it would still take half a year All of a sudden it finally comes together, what I've learned is that it's really important to use my lats (find out how to first haha!). So, at 45 and after years of no sports whatsoever, that's been a great achievement for me and has shown me, that you can do pretty muchANYTHING if you set your mind to it 6 Quote Link to comment

kirstenanke Posted December 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2014 Thank you!! I honestly thought it would take forever but kept just plugging away at dumbbell rows, negative pull ups and inverted rows... For the longest time it seemed that a pull up was never going to happen!! But then... there it was lol! What I'm trying to say is don't give up, it WILL happen for you, too!!! And when it does - let us know! 3 Quote Link to comment
