I have never been able to do anything even relatively close to a pull up. I stopped trying years ago, but about 4 months ago while at the playground with my kids, I noticed there were no other families so decided to mess around with one of the bars. I noticed how much stronger I had gotten. About a week ago, we found a pull up bar at Goodwill! So we bought it. I feel so much more capable and really believe I can achieve a pull up with just a little practice. For once, I’m at least able to pull myself up a little bit.
For an example of how weak I once was, I remember in junior high when they did that goofy fitness test. I was a couch potato (seriously) who only ate junk. They wanted each kid to hang while they timed them (EVERYONE COULD SEE!!! Soooo embarrassing) and I remember my time was ONE SECOND. I’m not kidding.
NSV!
