Weighted pull-ups

Wow, where did I come from? Seriously, I can't believe the improvement I just made with my pull-ups.

On October 4th, I attempted weighted pull-ups for the very first time. I was able to do 2.5 lbs by myself but Michael gave me a little boost when it came to the 5 lbs.

I did weighted pull-ups again today and here's how I did:

I'm on the right side- as you can see, I was able to go as high as 12.5 lbs! That's a major improvement! With every round I kept saying, "I probably won't get this, but here it goes..." and then I'd get it. I could NOT believe it myself but I'm totally pumped about it. And yes, my chin was above the bar on each rep!

Michael took some pictures- as you can see in one picture, he slapped my ass a few times and his white powder print showed quited perfectly on my black pants!

Remember that "big booty" I'm referenced multiple times? Take a look at the difference in this picture between the width of my waist and that of the widest part of my thighs- no wonder I have trouble finding jeans that fit!

 

Until tomorrow,
