re: P90X-3/T-25/Insanity in-game thread

I have a door frame pull-up bar with a pull-up assist thing (not the Beachbody one) and I still find myself using the bands and just wrap them around the pull-up bar. Even with the pull-up assist I can only knock out like 3-5 pull-ups and then I'm gassed. It takes too long to adjust in the middle of an exercise so I've found it easier to just keep adding on to the bands. I'm at the point now though that I have nearly every band that I own strapped to the handles, but I can still feel the burn.

That said, I like to randomly walk by the pull-up bar and hop on it and knock a few out with the assist and also see how much progress I make without it. One of these days my arms will be strong enough to get me to the part where my back actually takes over the work. I can "finish" a pull-up. Meaning If I start with my arms bent I can finish it...but I can't do one if I drop all the way down to a full extension.
