See what I mean about Vanessa being a gym kind of person? I went to the “fitness corner” (it really is in a corner…) with Vanessa. There was a proper pull-up bar for me, and while I was doing my own pull-ups, Vanessa copied. No need for coaxing or any prompting. She just pulled up on some other bar that she could reach. Alright, she isn’t pulling yet, but she can hang from the bar and swing quite well.
I’m learning to do pull-ups again. Yes. Finally, I’m trying to do it the over-graft method. The way that Vanessa was very naturally grasping the bar on her own without any instruction from me. But it’s not easy to switch, particularly after having been pulling the under-graft method all the time and still not being very good about it. The theory is that the over-graft method has more muscles to use, so it should be easier. I suppose that’s provided the muscles have been developed to begin with. So, well, they aren’t yet. It’s going to be IPPT time soon. I hope the over-graft will work out in time.
