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. :)

Fuck yeah!

I used to do 15 a day minimum but then messed up my elbow and shoulder in an accident so I can hardly do one without extreme pain.

Keep it up

Ah man that sucks! 15 is super impressive, you must've been a beast!

Not really, I was just super lean ran a lot and went to the gym every day.
