THE SUMMER OF CHIN UPS

Apparently this will not be the summer of my Barbell Certification.  Me...I need goals.  So it will be the summer of the chin up.  I am at the very assisted band phase which is too dang bad.  Last summer, when I was training for the Strong First Kettlebell Certification, I could do a few with my smallest band.    The smallest is the pin/red band below.  I was almost there.  Now, I am starting all over again...

Me...last week at Gowdy Park...with all three bands.  I am sure I am quite the sight for those people driving to work in the morning.

This is one program I am considering but will look at a few more.

TRAINING

My plan was to share my journey from the road of paralegal to SFG Kettlebell Instructor Level 1 Certification.

My initial training, for now, includes participating in the Women's Strength Training Program at Iron Body Studios.  I would like to share my training at Iron Body Studios.  However, the program was written by Artemis.  It is her personal program.  It is how she makes her living.  So I am not comfortable sharing what I am doing and the weight I am lifting. 

Let me just say...my goals include increasing my deadlift and press and doing at least one pull up. 

On the first day of training my greatest surprise was that I could actually do 3 sets of 5 assisted pull ups.  The assisted part was 2 medium sized bands.  I guess anything is possible.  I may bang out a pull up yet. 

I plan to share the journey on this blog...until I get to this point.
