Yay for pull-ups!

After the encouragement I received from friends on my chin-up and pull-ups this past weekend, I decided to try to attempt them as much as possible when called for.  So, for this workout, I did the first rep as called for before continuing the set with cable pull-downs.  Wow!  Actual pull-ups are amazingly satisfying!  Of course, I've had my sights on them for so long, they make me a little giddy :)
