I can't do one single full pull up, and barely 5 chin ups.

I'm guessing the wide grip pull ups must be the hardest bodyweight exercise of all.

Needless to say I'm going to try and remedy this pathetic effort.

Apparently pull ups are the single best exercise for building a rock solid back and getting the much coveted V-shape taper. I had no idea. I guess bent over rows and lat pull downs was what people did but pull ups are the daddy so I'm told.

So pull ups, chin ups, push ups are going to become a staple once I've finished my current weight training cycle.

I want to be able to do 35 push ups, 5 pull ups and 10 chin ups by Christmas.
How you getting on Bilbo? Still sticking with it? Close to 5 pull ups/10 chin-ups yet?
