My 2025 Pull Up Quest (1)

The dictionary defines "quest" as "a long or arduous search for something." As you know, I can do 8 band-assisted pull ups with proper form. But I can barely do two unassisted pull ups with the same impeccable form. Here's proof from today's workout. 

Time to get back to the basics, such as scapular pull ups. 

I haven't given up and I WON'T give up until, by the grace of God, I succeed. 

This is THE moment, friends. It's time to hold each other accountable for our athletic goals in 2025. The New Year is a fresh time. We can create fresh goals, fresh dreams, fresh ideas for our athletic and life endeavors all at the same time. We look back and reflect, and we look forward and dream. My goal to perform 2 properly executed unassisted pull ups should keep me highly motivated well into springtime. I am marking this goal down here on this blog for all to see and, yes, to hold me accountable as we journey into a fresh year with new hopes and new dreams. 

Be not afraid to fail, ladies and gentlemen. Be not afraid to share your goals with others who can encourage and motivate you to strive and get them. 

Onward, fellow athletes, onward!
