As you can see in the video, I am somehow able to do chin ups (and one singular pull-up!!). I spent 6 whole months in 2019 doing a dedicated program of negatives, hangs, scapular pull ups, and couldn’t crack it. I’ve always been the big one, the slow one, the unfit one, and despite getting stronger in a powerlifting sense, never believed I could do something athletic.

Now I’m even heavier than 2019 (I’m 74 kilos) and somehow made it happen. I’m also weaker on the powerlifting side of things, so this feels extra special. Been doing a lot of rowing and pulling and negatives and half pull ups, and it’s finally paid off. I am also able to do 1 full pull-up, but the chin ups really surprised me.

This has shattered a lot of negative beliefs I have about myself and my fitness.

Next stop: half marathon!!
