Dartful Dodger:
I didn't checked the fit-test before starting.
I couldn’t do a pull-up when I started. I don't know if I was ever able to do a pull-up.
I was up to 6, three weeks into the program.
ChadTower:
You couldn't have been far off, then. You don't gain that type of strength in three weeks. I used to do ten with 20lb hanging from my belt as a warmup... now, I'm guessing I could do 4-7 at bodyweight, mostly because my right elbow has been problematic lately. That is one of the things I'm hoping to correct in this process.
Reading through it a bit more it is very heavy on flash and sizzle... I'll see when I review the videos how much meat is in that pan.
Dartful Dodger:
I use to work out all the time. I'm over weight, but I still have the strength, I think my problem with pull-ups was the balancing and the extra pounds I had to pull didn't help either.
I went from 0 to 3 almost instantly then gained about 1 a week.
ChadTower:
I don't really care about before and after photos. Probably won't bother with that.

If you want to lose weight, you have to learn portion control. After you have reached that goal, then it is time to do cardiovascular training. Walking or running will suffice. If you are still gaining weight, then its time to look at WHAT you are eating and cut back on it.
Free weights are a great way to shift the fat, but you must have the food and cardio in place first, or you will face another epic fail.
I won't dive in my successful Atkins solution, as it can be a negative. BTW I dropped another stone, but its not a requirement to be so strict with your diet.
You can invest money in all sorts of gadgets, but you can find items in your home that can be just as useful. When it is cold outside, I run up and down the stairs, to the point of exhaustion. It might be excessive, but far cheaper than some mechanical wonder you will over work a muscle (like your back) and end up in hospital.
I just got a welcome letter from my gym offering me unlimited visits until the end of 2008. Maybe a gym in your area, will have such an opportunity. ;D
