@hybridcalisthenics: If you're having trouble getting your first pullup, you probably only need a few adjustments to get there. Try these: 1. Unshrug your shoulders - this can help you better "pull with your back" and may feel more secure. 2. Practice the range you can do - we think of the pullup as a full range exercise. However, you may be able to do several reps in the lower range already. This will help you get used to handling your weight. Don't do this if it hurts - assist as needed. 3. Use assistance for the ranges you can't do - you can do this either as full reps or partial reps in the top range or parts you struggle with. A band works, but you can use a pullup machine if you have access to one. Have a wonderful day! #hybridcalisthenics
