It took me years to be able to finally do pull ups. I was always so embarrassed when I was in the academy being “just one of the girls” that can’t do a pull up. Well screw that! Today I can get about 8-10 strict if I’m on fresh arms. Since it’s the challenge this week I wanted to see what I could do to challenge myself. I know 8 pull-ups isn’t as great as a lot of people but I’m sure as hell proud of it. Now I’ve decided by end of year I want to be able to get a couple full gear pull-ups. Here’s where I’m at now maybe on fresh arms next time would get a better result. Do it the HARD WAY! I started the challenge late this week so I’m going to get creative to get the 300 in but starting yesterday this is what I have T-3 days left to get them in. Strict- 20 pull-ups Weighted (gun belt)- 3 TRX finishers to failure- 35

Challenge: 245/300 cumulative (185 TRX inverted rows and 60 scapular pullups) Keep the Promise: 3/7 Cold shower 2/3 Breath work (Wim Hof) 3/5 Workouts Today: 6 ml, 2 hour, zone 1, 633 elev gain

@Frank Sepe and I added Who’s Racing so you can find a race and see who else is going, and Race Deals to keep the discounts in one place. They're in Classroom. First move: add your next race. Even if it’s months out. Somebody else is probably on that start line too. Then tell us in the comments what’s working, what’s broken, if I missed a better deal, or if something makes perfect sense to me and no one else. Thank you!
