It’s not about the pull-up, but what it took me to get there.
I’m going through a rough patch personally and on the hardest days when Depression rears its head, I remind myself that I too can do hard things.
A few years ago, I tore my rotator cuff. At the time, even lifting my arm was a struggle and the idea of doing a pull-up? Impossible.
Resilience isn’t about where you start but where you refuse to stop.
After months of training (and plenty of moments wondering why I was doing this), I finally pulled myself up… not once, but twice.
Two full pull-ups at 61 —something I never thought I’d do.
This journey reminded me that strength is about showing up, pushing through setbacks, and proving to myself that I’m capable of more than I think.
What helps you get through rough times?
