As for pull-ups (this is for you Tammy)...If you can master pull-ups,push-ups,dips or whatever it is that uses your body weight against you, there is nothing in life that you can't do. I was doing them at 300lbs! Try just doing the negative on the pull-ups and you will be suprised at how fast you will be able to do the whole thing. You will be amazed at how you feel after defeating your bodies limitations...Besides, if you want a v-taper in your back you NEED pull-ups!

I am pretty strong for a woman; I can bench press 85 lbs 3 sets x 12 reps (1 rep max 115 lb), I can do 3 x 12 sets of push-ups on an exercise ball, etc... but I cannot do even one stinking pull-up. I come close, but just can't quite do it. If I really worked at it, I could probably do some, but I just don't like them too much. All the same, I hardly think pull-ups in themselves are a good fitness indicator, but maybe that's just my bias since I can't do any :). Pull-ups… my nemesis.
