I don't know where else to share this, but I'm so proud of myself so I've gotta post it somewhere. I've finally got my first unassisted pull-up! It wasn't a goal I was working super hard toward, but I've noticed a lot of new muscle definition in my back, probably because I do a lot of rows, especially bird-dog rows and renegade rows. So I tried a pull-up and I was able to do one pretty easily! Not bad for a middle-aged lady! Now I've got a goal to do three. :)

Awesome work! Now do another to confirm it, to remove any doubts you may have (like I had) that it was a fluke. Then just keep in doing them - at work, at home, on the beach, in the forest etc.

Yup, I've done at least 4 more...I keep going down to my basement gym and re-proving it to myself haha
