Hey, I posted but it's way above. Guess I hit the wrong post to reply to and no one saw it?? We had a great time, but no winners here. Beautiful day for it though.

Allergies flaring this am :-(

Hi Everybody!!!!

I'm just popping in to wish you chin up chicks a heartfelt Happy Easter from Cardiohateville! I have an idea for your Easter donuts. You can put them on a tray and fill the holes with chocolate bunnies or those little foil wrapped eggs. Have a good one and I'll be reading you on Monday;) :D

Michele :)
 
Lost my first post.x(
My DH is on his way to Atlanta to pickup a "located" Smith machine from Dick's (dang, the boys and I are home). I can hardly wait, more chinups...YAY...YAy...Yay...yay...oh my...

Hey X, love the pic of Sooooooooooooosan from the front.

Catherine, so glad to hear you had a beautiful, although winning free, day. And I'm with you on the allergies and the pollen is flying freely in GA.

Briee, done any donuts or pullups today? Or any ER visits?

Honeybunch keep up your great work.:)

JoAnne - I'm jealous of your chinups and I'll bet you're o/s on your bike today.

You guys didn't give any donuts to Michele, did you?

I can hardly wait until the Smith machine is assembled and I can resume the chinups.;-)
 
Today is my last day of my P90X rotation (except for recovery week next week)!!!! My results,..... drum roll please,..... I did sets of chinups as follows: 2.75, 2.5,2, & 2- thats a little over 8!!!! My personal best:eek: :eek: :eek: !!!! I so wanted to do 3 in a row today, but I am completely happy with my gains. Also did negatives- chinups sets as follows 1 set of 4 slow ct and 1 set of 5 slow ct (prob 10ct). 1 set each of 4 wide grip & narrow grip pullup neg. To think when I began P90X couldn't do even 1 chinup. Also looking back at Chest and Back could only do about 60 pushups on my toes. Last round I did 174 total on my toes!!!}( }( }( Now I worry about keeping my gains. I want to do something different for a while, but not sure what. Then do another P90X rotation or a variation of one mixing in other w/os.

I know that this check in has helped me so much with these chinups. I don't think I would've pushed myself so hard. I WILL do three in a row soon. (If my bleeping grip quits giving out x( ) No I WILL do it!!

Melody, so glad your DH is on his way to Dicks. Thought I was gonna have to come to Georgia and find a bar for ya!!!

Catherine
 
Ahhhh, Michelle thanks for your holiday wishes!! Hope your Easter is great!! We're still not sharing our donuts though :+

Catherine
 
Oh man, an Easter donut..with sprinkles! :9

Thanks, X.

I'll be assisting (haha) DH assembling that machine tonight. That should be fun, right?

Happy Easter dear chickie chinny-chin-chins.

PS. Catherine - applause - great progress.:)
 
Just so you know...there is a method behind all these donuts.

Whenever you see a donut, subliminally you will want to go do a pullup. Your back muscles will tense upon just the thought of donuts and the tensing in itself will strengthen your muscles.

Thanks Briee. I'll give DH a call on the cell and tell him to swing by Dunkin' Donuts before leaving Atlanta. I'll tell him the "Dr" prescribed them.:7

Catherine, you're a machine!!! I am so happy for you - you've been working really hard and it's paying off big time. 174 push-ups?!!? I know that's a total amount divided into sets w/rests, but it's still extremely impressive. The most I've ever done is 3 sets of 12 and that was pushing it. You are awesome!!!:) :) :)

I'm so glad we have an expert in this check-in to explain this strange donut phenomenon. It's all becoming clear to me.
 
Hi girls! I've been following this thread and would like to join y'all. This morning I did 8 assisted pullups, 3 un-assisted chinups and then four negative pullups.

My back is now sore:eek: :eek: :eek: !!!
 
Welcome Tammy!!! Glad to have ya join in. How long have you been at chinups? I am jealous you can do 3. I am almost there did 2.75 yesterday, just couldn't finishx( I will be there soon though. Uhhhh, you do know about the donut requirement? Oh, and don't tell Sooooooooooosan you can already do chins, she won't speak to ya-LOL

Catherine
 
Thanks Catherine! No, I don't know about the donut requirement...please do tell.

I have been working on chin-ups sporadically for a few months. My DH installed a chin-up bar in the rafters of my workout room, so I don't do them as often as I would like to as just getting to the chin-up bar is a workout...LOL!

Let's hope Sooooooooosan doesn't see this!
 
We just have a fedish with donuts and chinups. The two go hand in hand. Briee likes to put donuts on her chinup bar for motivation. X brings in lovely pictures (see above) for us to marvel at!!
