yay finally did an unassisted chin up

i even kissed the bar. was my form perfect, heck no, was my core straight, again heck no, but i dragged myself up there.

That's awesome, octo!

Great job!  A lot of people don't realize just how difficult that can be until they try it.

Fabulous! Being strong is a great feelin'

Wow.  I've tried them and I could never get it.  I eventually quit; it's not worth hurting my hands like that (tree branches are very rough, aren't they?).

Oh, you rock!! I'm so jealous (and hope to be able to do it myself soon) !!!

Yay! 

Way to go!

Jealous!!

Congrats!

Thanks guys. As you know I'm doing New Rules, it was my last workout for stage 6 (I had to go through stage 6 twice). Earlier this week (during TOM I am actually weaker) it just didn't look like I was going to get up there, but then my upper body decided to give me a little surprise yesterday . Unfortunately I celebrated with some food yesterday, haha.

I've just started NROLFW and I was eye-balling that section. I can't imagine that I'll be able to do an unassisted chin-up in the next year : )

I've yet to decide if I want to skip it or not...

Congratulations!

Just a warning to you peeps that have shoulder problems. It seems that doing very slow negatives ain't so good. My supraspinatus got a little wonky, can't lift for at least 10 days then I'm on some rehab exercises. But its gotta be done if I want to do chin/pull-ups with perfect form later on. My next goal is 10 of them. Oh well, my legs need some attention anyway.
