Guest guest Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 What fun! We just got these fabulous new pull up bars at work. They bought those big rubber bands that you can use for assisted pull ups. I didn't need the heaviest band. I used a medium band. They loop around the bar, and you put your foot at the base of the band. We were trying them out, and thanks to STS, I surprised myself. I do need to use a band to do the pull up, but I was able to do 8 reps, and that was 4 more than a woman 30 years younger than me (same band). Thank you Cathe! I've been doing pull downs with bands, and I've been heavying up with all those rows and pull overs, and it really does make a big difference. I finished mesocycle 1. I did Disk 12 today after taking some rest days. I loved, loved, loved it. I don't feel like I need a rest week yet, so I'm going to forge ahead. Have a great evening!
