The kids are going to make me ripped! It seems like every other day, Daniel and Maddie want to have a competition with me to see who can do the most pull-ups and push-ups. I'd like to say I always win, or that I let them win, but Daniel actually beat me last time. On our second rep on the pull-up bar, he did 10 and I did, seriously, 9 and a half. I just couldn't make it that extra little bit. I guess I could reason through it by saying "he only weighs 45 pounds" to make myself feel better, but that's just not productive.
This is the way it works. I do 14 push-ups. So Daniel has to do 15. Then I'll do 16, etc. It works the same on the pull-up bar, but this is little more difficult for me than push-ups. I think the most I can do in a row (right now) is 11. Give me a couple months, and a couple extra workouts per week when the kids are asleep, and it'll be smooth sailing. One can hope.
