pullup number one

[Robinf]

I finally did one. The next one, I was only able to go up a third of the way and then I had to shake it out.

Feels good. It was pretty smooth, too, only a couple of slight pauses where I had to push myself, but no shaking.

Sorry, folks. Just felt like celebrating a little.

Good job! You know how many pull-ups most people can do? Zero. You really should be proud.

Now, get to work on that second one...!:)

Congratulations, Robin! Keep the abs tight throughout the movement. It might help you pass the sticking point.

Iron,

You're right. That did help. I stopped at my halfway point and decided to keep pulling. My abs just tightened. I felt the strain in my pecs (or it could have been that part of the lat dorsi that attatches to the front of the bicep femor--please correct my anatomy if I'm off on this one).

ElPeitro,

Only you can call me She-Herc. lol!

Budokan,
Thanks. I'll get the second one out of me yet.
