I’m no ordinary girl, I can do a pullup now!
Last week I noticed that I only needed like 20lbs of assistance on the Gravitron and this last weekend I was able to do some lat pulldowns at my bodyweight. So today I decided to give real pullups a try.
And… drum roll please…I FINALLY DID IT, YES I FINALLY DID IT!!
After 2 months of trying, I did my first real pull-up today. Correction- my first TWO Andi-only powered pullups, then I needed a spot the rest of the way. Ok ok I guess it’s not that much of an accomplishment, but as a girl, being able to do finally do a pullup is a major achievement, I know most of my friends can’t do one. I’ve been trying to do a real pullup for a while now so I’m excited that I actually achieved my goal and it’s only February! Thanks to all the great suggestions on bodybuilding.com! Looking forward to conquering the next challenge!!
