BIG AW!

I set a goal a few months ago that I would do 10 pull-ups in a row by the end of the summer.  This morning I did a fit test with my trainer, and I did it!  A bunch of strength tests (like max squat, flexibility, broad jump, etc), then 10 pull-ups, followed by 33 push-ups.  You guys, I've never been this strong.  I worked really hard and I'm proud of myself.

Wahoo! Now challenge Floyd to a brawl!

[cville]

Awesome! I would high five you, but I'm afraid your massive guns would break my couch potato arm.

[daisybuchannan]

Damn girl! I can't do that, and am jealous now!

Well done! Please send me some of your upper body strength.

Once a week, I work out with my trainer for half an hour.  We do weights and sometimes end with VersaClimber or rowing.  Also once a week, I do a group training with my trainer and 3-5 other people (including my trainer's MIL and wife) on the weight room floor for an hour - we do stuff like med ball tosses and use the TRX.  Other days, I run or do the stair mill.  Usually on days I run I do a planks series if I have time.  Sometimes I also do squats, lunges, pull-ups and push ups.  I don't have time for my workouts to last for more than 40-45 minutes, so I just squeeze in whatever I can.  I usually end up doing push ups when I'm playing with my kids because they're climbing on me anyway.  LOL

And thank you everyone.    I'm feeling happy today.

BTW, I couldn't even do one a year ago. We just slowly worked up to it, using bands and doing eccentric pull-ups (where you very slowly lower yourself down from a pull-up position, wearing a weight around your waist).

That's awesome!!! Great job!!

[isabel]

That's fantastic! Way to stick with it!

[spitforspat]

What?? I'm actually amazed!!

ETA: As in "I'm experiencing actual amazement because I could never do that." Not in any way snarky.

Congrats, that is AMAZING! I've been ramping up my training and my goal is to do ONE pullup someday...so the fact that you did 10 is insanely incredible.

That's awesome. I have no upper body strength so I could never do that.

So...everything. You do everything. Great. lol.

Seriously though, I'm just getting more into developing muscle tone rather than just losing weight, and you are a great inspiration!

Great work! 10 is my goal, too, and I'm up to 7. I feel like I've been stuck there for awhile.
