I did 3 pullups today
Nice work!!! Better than not doing them at all!! 3 pull-ups are hard! I can't even do one lol Very proud of you!! And you should be very proud of yourself too! 💜
I can’t even do one.
Yeah, but you’re juggling some manner of complicated health issue - I do not know what, and I’m not going to ask because that’s your business, but you’re very open about the notion that your health is complex.
The benchmarks might be in different places for you
Yeah that’s true.
It’s probably a good thing, if I had the physical ability there’s no telling what I’d get up to
It took me like six months
Go you! How did you train for it?
Pull up machine to reduce my weight to build up
And also just jumpng, holding the position, and then slowly lowering over time.
💪
Strong! I couldn't do one now but I went from 0 to 12 in about 9 months a few years back. I know how hard it is! Keep at at it 💪💪💪 Edit: don't mean to one up you. The first one is the hardest, if you're at three now it's going to be easier from here to build.
