I now have a pull-up bar at my house so that I can practice my pull-ups. My goal is to increase the number pull-up I can do to 20. I have been stuck at 8 pull-ups for so long now that it is annoying. The weird thing is that I was able to do up to 10 and 12 when I lived in California but it's seems that I am weaker on the East Coast! So I am only able to do about 6 or 7 consecutive pull-ups at a time.
I have been trying to do them every other day. I was at my health club doing pull-ups and this lady was asking me tips on how she to do them, since she was unable to do one and wanted to learn. I told her to have her husband spot her and do some negatives. This is how I was able to increase my pullup strength when I first started. I think I was only able to do about 2. The same lady then asks me if I was a professional athlete. She actually thought I looked like a professional athlete? I guess that is an improvement from the last time...this lady at my health club asked my husband and I if we were professional cheerleaders??? I am not sure if I've ever seen a six foot 5 inch tall cheerleader, since that's my husband's height! Weird how people assume that once you are in relatively good physical shape/conditioning, you look that way because you are getting paid...you therefore must be a professional_____
