Pull-ups

So, how does one learn to do a pull up? Is it bad when you have a really hard time just hanging from the bar? I have memories from a little girl and the gym teacher yelling at me because I couldn't hang from the bar with straight arms for more than 3 sec. When do memories like these go away? Dan has a stretchy band that we loop over our bar and I can kneel and pull on that like a pull-up. I don't think it's anything like a pull-up but I can do it. I wonder if I will feel them tomorrow? Will this one day lead to a real pull-up?

    So when I read the title I was thinking pull-ups - like in potty training toddlers kind of pull-ups. Can you tell I have nieces and friends' kids that are in this stage in life?! :)

    I too have bad memories of the pull-up/hanging test in school. What I learned from it is that no matter how determined you are, mind cannot overcome matter.

    I'm sure I couldn't even hang from a bar for long either. But that's ok. I'm content to focus on my other abilities and manipulate my life so that I never need to show my arm weakness to others.
