Back in October I decided that I wanted to be able to do 10 pull-ups by my birthday. At the time, even though I lift weights almost everyday, I could only do 3. I started by doing a lot of negatives every other day or so. This was soooo incredibly HARD!!! After months of this hard work, I happened to be at my parents on my birthday, and I took a test there. I was able to do eight, which was less than I hoped, but I am still really happy with it! These pull-ups are the real deal. I try to drop until my arms are almost all the way straight before going up again. The move has disrupted my routine, but hopefully, I will be able to increase it when things settle down a bit.
Pull-ups turn out to be a great upper-body toner. Isabelle took some pictures and I sent these pics to Shawn and Kami to ask their opinions about this swim suit I was considering. I have a hard time deciding things like this on my own...anyways, Shawn texted back and asked if I was flexing my back. I said, "How do you do that?" I really didn't know. I was pretty happy about that!
