Columba Oct 2018 5:20pm, 17 Oct 2018 16,530 posts	0 Columba Brig, that is brilliant! Really, that's what I ought to be aiming for, rather than chair-arm press-ups. Pull-ups are a complete no-no, especially as I have nowhere at home I could do them (not being a gym person).
Brig Oct 2018 8:47pm, 17 Oct 2018 413 posts	0 Brig Thank you! I worked my way up from 1 a day every day for a couple of weeks then 3 then 5 then Bingo! I got 10! Pull-ups are hard but I do them when at the gym using the Bodyweight thing. I can do 2 biceps ones but wide grip I need assistance... Complete lack of lats! 😂

Brig Oct 2018 4:44pm, 18 Oct 2018 414 posts	0 Brig Agreed edison and yet I feel I must master them!
edison Oct 2018 4:48pm, 18 Oct 2018 676 posts	0 edison I'm told they are part of my new weekly S&C sessions. I'll have to practice. Once a week is not going to help me improve.

JCB Oct 2018 9:58am, 20 Oct 2018 104 posts	0 JCB I'm a little late starting this challenge. Started this for myself in August and just over 1000 now (1037).
Columba Oct 2018 6:12pm, 20 Oct 2018 16,552 posts	0 Columba Yes, at that rate you may not make the 5,000 before the end of the year, JCB. There's always next year.
NDWDave Oct 2018 6:22pm, 20 Oct 2018 7,889 posts	0 NDWDave I might do it again next year as I’m hoping to improve my upper body strength.

I used to have decent upper body strength but then I switched from doing triathlons to pure running ...
