Ugh, this was my worst workout test yet. 0 for 3 this time around. June was a month of vacation, travel, celebration, and gluttony so it’s no big surprise. July will be better!

On the weekend, I built a lat pull down station to help me build up to my first pull up. I figure this is probably the best way to go about this (doing the actual movements with the right muscles in the proper orientation). If I hadn’t kept trying to cheap out of it and just done it in January, I’d be doing pull ups by now.

Here are the results, and don’t forget to track my progress for the year on the Goal Tracker page.
