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, Was it over hand or underhand on the bar?

The overhand is known as a heave and they're harder but much better overall for back development.

I'm not trying to take away your achievement just curious is all

    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
