She did it, she did it! She actually did it 4 and 1/2 times
One of my loyal readers, Deb, over at Weight for Deb set a goal for herself to do a real, full on, un-aided pull up. She did four and a half! And she posted a video to prove it.
Congratulations, Deb. You deserve this star, but more importantly, you deserve our respect. I can't even do a half pull up. Yet. Maybe I should work toward it.
Anyone want to join me in a pull up quest? Any hints Deb?

Thank you for this honor! May I please remind your readers that I am 56, have successfully lost 40#, and just started working out 2 years ago? So those thinking they could never do this because... have lost lots of their excuses.
The secrets (hmm I'm going to have to make this a post for myself, too):
#1. State your goal with I WILL, not I would like, I want. The intent must be there.
#2. Set a date. I exceeded by goal date by 5 weeks, but a date is important.
#3. Get support. Adam pushed me hard to get this done. Blog buddies, gym buddies, friends, ME, whoever.
#4. Work at this goal every week. I worked on the assisted-pull-up machine at the gym, plus lots of lat pull-down, and lots of core work. You need a good core to do this.
Now go forth, join the pull-up crazed masses (it is so cool to see women doing pull ups at the gym. Really!)!
Deb: Good advice for Pull-ups, and for life, most certainly!
Chubby Mommies: let's do this thing! Pull-up wanna be's unite!
