Author gets excited over Pull Up Achievment!

I am so excited!  It’s official, I can no do The Pull Up on the Wunda Chair with only 2 springs on the bottom!……and do it well….and repeat it consistently!  For those of you who know the exercise and the spring strength I am sure you will appreciate my excitement:)  

If you aren’t familiar with the exercise here is a photo.  In this photo I have the usual spring setting of one top and one bottom.  You can’t see it in the photo but the springs attach from the peddle my feet are on to one of the three hooks at the back, you can see the bolts on the outside of the chair.  There is one spring on each side of the chair.  With the Pull Up, the less spring resistance you have the harder the exercise is as you have to use more of your own strength to pull yourself up.  The stronger the spring resistance the more help you get.  On the Wunda Chair the spring resistance is strongest when you attach them to the top hooks and lightest when you attach them to the bottom hooks.  So my next challenge is to be able to pull up with only one spring attached!
