My workouts have been steadily improving.
My runtime is getting better/ faster/ farther, my situps are ahead of where they need to be, my push ups are coming right along. And I have no qualms about the handgrip.
The thing I'm having issues with is this whole chin ups thing. I've been advised by a few people to work on them. And I do. Or at least I try. At the gym I've been doing assisted chinups and recently dropped the counter weight. My plan is to keep dropping the counter weight at regular intervals (every week and a half) by 10 lbs. I'm having a hell of a time doing the unassisted chin ups. Especially without any kind of swinging. Any advice? Am I going to fail BMQ if I can't do a chin up? I can pull myself up ropes, and can climb like a freakin monkey, but these chin ups are a stumbling block. What gives? Is this a mental thing? Is my plan with the assisted chinups a good one?
