#76 – Do a Pull-up

Notes:
After watching the third Indiana Jones movie I’ve often thought about strength. He falls off a cliff but is able to pull himself up to safety. If that was me I would fall to my death! So I have always wanted to be able to do a chin up from a dead hang.

Chin-up palms face me

Pull-up palms face out

I want to be able to do both, but first I’ll do whatever one is easier first.

I read online that a good way to condition oneself is to slowly lower down. I just need to set it all up and be consistent.

After much ado I did buy a bar and installed it in my old room. It hung there for ages. Then I moved and haven’t drilled it into my walls. This was due to fear of later having to later fix it- but now it is because I don’t own a drill.
