50 chinups!

[aveggiegirl]

Last night I had a dream that I did 50 chinups!

In real life I can do about 6 (cheating a little, because I don't go down the whole way).

Wow, 6 is AWESOME!

That's funny!! I dream about cranking them out too. 6 is awesome. As far as going all the way down. You should be careful at the bottom not to fully extend anyway IMO. A slight (and I mean slight) bend in the elbow is ok.

Keep working at it and it will pay off. I remember the days when I was struggling to do just one. Dreams lead to reality. I also leave a slight bend in my elbows at the bottom.

Six is more than I can do without assistance!

Great job!

I was taught you are suppose to fully extend. They say you make bigger gains with full extension.

The ONLY way I can do chinups is in my dreams.
