Not good at pull ups but I am going to try again to see I can add this exercise

One of the toughest things I had to do when going through Officer Candidate School with the Marine Corps was to get strong enough to crank out some pull ups to pass the fitness test.  I was not good at them and remember not being able to do many -- if I was even able to do one.  I did eventually get the minimum but the skill has gone into hiding many times over the years.

Get into your HEAD that YOU can do pull ups - then train to do them!

Then, today, I came upon an article in Medium that goes into specific details about the fact that we can learn to do pull ups.  In our Hartsville YMCA Bootfit Class the pull up is often on the agenda but many of us use bent row dumb bell exercises in place of the pull up.  Maybe this will move some of us to begin using the jump pull up to us moving in a stronger direction.

The article -- It is all in your head makes a covincing case.https://elemental.medium.com/your-inability-to-do-pullups-is-all-in-your-head-191278c2f5aa

One time when exercising with an F3 Durham group the guys used assisted pull ups and it was really the first time I had seen them work.  We did not do them in Hartsville.  I am thinking maybe F3 Nation might begin to recommend for those who have not yet achieve their pull-up potential.

And, I have already posted a link to the article on Robbie McLendon's Hartsville YMCA Boofit page because if anyone can motivate people to try to achieve new milestones, it is the OG>
