For those of you keeping track, today is day 22 in our pull-up challenge and it has been really easy so far. It has also been very effective in increaseing the number of pull-ups I can do.
When I first got here, I would have been doing well to knock out 15, non-stop. Yesterday, I did the first 20, non-stop.
Sgt Garrett was pretty impressed and I was surprised myself. What I have learned so far is that the best way to get better at pull-ups is to do pull-ups. Lifting weights hasn't really helped me in the past, but this is really working.
Now they were not perfect pull-ups, but they were all the way up and all the way down.
For those of you doing these with me, hang in there... (pun intended). We only have 78 days left!!!
