Personal Narrative: Doing Body Weight Exercises Like Pull-Up

262 Words1 Page

I have always had a hard time doing body weight exercises like pull-ups. Mostly due to a devastating combination of mcdonalds and lazing around as a kid, these past years i've put in a lot of focus towards my physical health and strength. While my pull-ups have far surpassed my skills in the past, I have always strived to improve my strength when it comes to full-body exercises and sports instead of just weights. My first time in rock-climbing class I realized how much I had neglected full-body conditioning during my weight training. While focusing on lifts such as bench pressing or squats, I did not improve on functional strengths such as my grip. This caught up to me fast in class, often causing my hands to lose strength half way up a climb.
