wooooooohoooo! dh bought a doorframe pullup bar so I tried it. I actually can do a pullup! More accurately 2. Maybe sometime I'll try dips but they are a bit hard on my 10 year old shoulder injury.

But they sure would be a lot easier if I was 18-19% body fat!

Actually...I've discovered I'm able to get six of these at about 21% BF and I'm I'm pear shaped. Meaning that most of that 21% is sittin' at the bottom. :lol3:
Agreed. It is at lot easier at lower bf but something that is attainable at even above 19%. Making it the FIRST compound movement you choose to do in your workout helps too :D

I'm at about 25-26% right now. 141-143 lbs. So 2 isnt too bad.
