Today
Today, I did my personal best. Today I gave it my all. I finally did my first real chin-up. It seemed like forever to get up there, but I just kept pulling, sometimes losing control of my legs, but I refused to quit. Boy, wasn’t it ugly(LOL)! But we’ve all got to start somewhere. I’ve been working with bands for 4 weeks now, watching them get smaller and smaller and still doubting if I’d ever get it. Next goal is 5, unasisted.
I also pulled my heavy-ass trainer on the sled today..lol. Next goal, him + plates.
And I pulled 225lbs a couple of times on the trap bar deadlift. I’ve pulled 225lbs before but that was different because I was doing pyramids and had worked up to it.

225 on deadlifts is pretty damn impressive ! Especially with a hammie that’s torn up - don;’t hurt yourself again…! And doing chin-ups is hard for just about everyone - myself included! Congratulations - I know you must be proud of yourself!

Thanks, Kevin. I have a great trainer. He wants me to shoot for 315 by July1st! And we’re gonna work on 5 unassisted chin-ups with that. I’m excited!
