A Challenge!!

Back Pic using bands. Pre Pull Up Bar

I finally finished putting together my pull up stand, the Body Vision PT600. You can do pull ups, chin ups, hanging crunches, dips, and push ups with this and it was on sale at Amazon for only $100.00 with shipping. It seems really sturdy. What I have just discovered is that despite this being my 3rd round of P90X, I am not yet able to do a pull up. I had a pull up bar before this that mounted around the top door frame in a doorway. I used it a few times (with a chair for assistance) and it seemed okay until I must have push it forward and as I got to the top of a pull up the entire thing fell and I landed squarely on my tailbone. PAIN!!! YIKES!! Needless to say I never used it again, so I have never tried pull ups again. I did not let the lack of a pull up bar deter me though, I had bands which I was using with P90X in lieu of the pull up bar. I must say that I got great results with the bands, and as time passed I kept adding on a band (I have three together now) to increase the tension. I guess I could have continued without trying to do a pull up, I mean I did get awesome results with the bands. So why do I need to do pull ups?

I need to do pull ups because I can't. I have been thinking about it since I stopped using the pull up bar that some day I would put it back up and I would learn to do pull ups. A CHALLENGE!!! I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, a CHALLENGE!! Are there things that you are just not good at so you completely avoid them? Why not meet the challenge head on, keep trying until you can at least say that you did it. For me, until the day that I can do a full set of unassisted pull ups, I will keep trying!!
Find a challenge today. Do something today that challenges you, it does not necessarily have to be a workout, it can be making an important phone call that you have to make but have been avoiding. It could be signing up for a class that you really want to take, but that you know will be difficult and will really challenge you mentally.
Right now I am about to meet my challenge head on and get my chair and start out attempting some assisted pull ups. As soon as I am able to do some unassisted pull ups, I will some pics of my back, lets see if it makes a difference!!
