Hi Jill, I am dropping by again!

I've been doing my pull ups on the assisted machine and in the last 2 months have come down to 5 plates, which is a very slow progress.... I am just worried that if you do negatives ( i.e. kinda jump and pull yourself up suddenly) you may pull a muscle or something, so be extra careful ( once bitten.... )....

Jill · 08-31-2004, 11:00 PM

What a good guy.

naturaltan · 09-01-2004, 08:40 AM

Jill ... be prepared to be oggled at the gym if you get to your goal of 8 pull ups. It's rare at our gym to see girls doing unassisted pullups. I've seen only two women do them ... and they got the attention of most around them at the time.

Like P said ... try doing negatives. It's a matter of just doing them consistently. Before you know it, you'll be looking at adding weight to do pull ups.

Jill · 09-01-2004, 12:18 PM

Steve says I sould aim for 3-4, its more realistic.

I might do that

BritChick · 09-01-2004, 01:23 PM

Ah... always aim high girlie!
Honestly if I want 6 reps at something I always tell myself I need 8, somehow this works better mentally for me; even if I don't hit the 8 I will usually end up hitting the 6 sooner than if I'd aimed for the 6 in the first place... does that make any sense at all?!

Rocco32 · 09-01-2004, 01:31 PM

Definately aim higher! I agree with Britchick and I definately think that you can do it! You can set a short term goal of 3-4, but don't stop there! I believe in you!!!

Jill · 09-01-2004, 03:42 PM

Thanks rock. I will be happy when I can do 1 !

Rocco32 · 09-01-2004, 03:43 PM

Hey, me too! LOL

Jill,

Imagine that your favorite DQ treat is at the top of each pullup . I bet I could do a couple extra if i did that

Good thinking Gary!!! Today I did '1', but that was close grip so Im not sure If Im going to count that.

Been busy busy busy...Thank God I dont work tomorrow. Running late to work due to cardio!

OOOOps I mean I slept in!

Oh AJ, Im waiting on my chin up bar, Havent got it just yet...

BritChick · 09-02-2004, 08:21 AM

Jill did you make it through the night without the munchies?
Not me!

Was chowing down on Vector and soy milk at 1am.

naturaltan · 09-02-2004, 08:22 AM

Of course you have to count it Jill!

Start with close grip and then when you can do a set, widen your grip.

Jill · 09-02-2004, 08:23 AM

Made it through Britty-probably cause I went to bed at 11 and knew I had to be up at 5am!!

Time to invest in a lock......

I wont buy 'good' cereal cause then I just eat it. Try eating Fiber 1 dry, it tastes like ass.

naturaltan · 09-02-2004, 08:59 AM

BritChick · 09-02-2004, 09:01 AM

I think I need to get rid of the hubby and kids... there's too much tempting food in the house with all of them living here too!

Yep!!

I can't stand Fiber one cereal anymore. The trick for me was to eat it with something else that was juicy, like chicken or tuna. And take a bite of both at the same time. Only way I could eat it at the end.

	I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain...
