Parents Mini Brag - I think my dd got her pull up today

[Ex member]

My 7 year dd has had a chin up bar for 2 weeks to build up strength as she couldn't do a pull up, we started with spotted pullups and chin up holds and just letting her hang on the bar. Dd has gradually built up enough strength to hold a chin up with bent legs for 12 seconds (no pulling up as we used a stool to make sure she was the right height).

We lowered the bar so she could reach it with stretched arms and dd held on the bar and did a little jump and pulled herself up and held it for 4 seconds before lowering to the ground slowly, dd tried for 2 pull ups in a row without her feet touching the floor and she managed 1 1/2, she pulled up as before and lowered with bent legs and tried to pull up again and could get half way.

Would you call this sucessful pullup or is it only a pull up if done ftom a dead hang?

Whatever you call it, it is progress. That is always something to feel good about.
