It took over two weeks and about 80 "at bar"s but I can now do one rep chin-up sets.
As soon as I did the first one I took 30 seconds rest and repeated with 3 more sets of one. Niccccccce!
Not sure if it was only a physical barrier or if some of it was mental because as soon as I went over the bar I "knew" I could do more. It wasn't a smooth pull either, I got stuck in the normal spot of just 2" shy but instead of doing my slow decline I added a second pull and toped the bar. The next reps were smoother pulls.
This was sort of a hard fought victory to be honest getting to the 1 chin up club and it might make most people laugh but my foot is in the door now baby....let's see if it's laughable in 60 days. ;)
Cool, after about 20 years I can do chin ups again....
