Chin ups are hard!
I got a chinning bar and (as I expected) can not do 1 pull up.
I've been working at it for a few days now and can get the bar just below my eyes...I can do 2 eye ups. :)
I'm working at that and controlled declines, I bet I will be able to do 2-3 chin ups in about a week or so. Slow and steady right?
The good news is that I'm building up quite a nice home gym with the various dumbbells, kettlebell, bar, sandbag, TRX knock off, swiss ball...I've got several options beyond all the bodyweight stuff, yoga and other workout dvd's, before I even touch my full Olympic weight set and bench. Not too shabby.
Next is some sort of cardio machine like a tread mill, elliptical, or what Angie wants a tread climber, (pretty much a combo of a treadmill and elliptical). Until then I have plenty of low tech cardio options that are kicking my butt on a regular basis anyway.
I expect to have dropped some weight on Friday's weigh in and I'm feeling really good....strong....no complaints right now.
