Pull-Up or Bust
Thursday, September 1st, 2005 | Uncategorized
So I went and bought a Pull-Up bar today. See I have had this quasi-goal to do a Pull-Up / Chin-Up for several years now. However I never actively pursued it (except for the rigorous daily Hot-Tub Training).
For awhile I was able to do an exercise I invented called a Door-Up (you’re a smart cookie, you can figure it out), but It was messing up my shoulders and not getting me any real results.
Well a couple weeks ago I bought a couple dumbbells and have been doing a few sets of bicept curls everyday. I figured this was a step in the right direction but knew that I could never achieve the goal without having an actual bar.
First things first, I needed the damn bar, so I went and bought one. Hopefully my roommate won’t spaz when he sees that I technically destroyed the guest room door frame by screwing a couple big ass brackets into it.
Next I try to hang from the bar and pull myself up, well go figure, that doesn’t work… So now I need to do it differently. I have to do negatives, yes that’s right folks you start on a chair or in my case a foot rest made of cigarette butts, and attempt to hold myself and then slowly lower my fat ass down.
This is sad, but a necessicary evil, since I have arms built for typing. Well, I can hardly hold myself up at all, so I am not exactly close to achieving this goal. However for the first time in my life I am actually working on achieving this goal.
Funny thing is I think I am actually overtraining. The shit I am doing doesn’t seem like much to me, but today I got a NASTY Charlie-Horse, and last week with just my dumbbell use I was getting some nerve headaches. Fuck it, better in pain then to not try at all…
