[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have a trainer show you how to to assisted pull-ups. Not the machine kind, the kind where you wrap a band around the bar and your foot (or knee or shin). And then you gradually do it with less and less assisting and voila, you get your first push up. [/quote] +1, the band-assisted pull-ups are how I got it. There are a bunch of ways to lessen the assistance as you go. I think I started by standing inside the circle band, then moved to knees, then switched to a band with less resistance, then could do it on my own. It's also good to follow a pull up challenge routine which will help you specifically build strength and endurance. Many years ago I used the 20 pull up challenge and it worked well. You can google it. You will find that once you have 1 pull up, it's actually pretty easy to build up to 5 or so. I hit a wall again around 10 and never made it to 20, but I should start up again![/quote]
