I just love pull ups 😊 Team USA is putting in work at this beautiful facility! Did you know my fake leg weighs less than my real leg… HOWEVER… my little leg has to take over the weight. So even though it’s lighter, it’s still 20 pounds of dead weight. This makes pull ups just a smidge harder because I have to use a little bit more core. The more you know 🤸🏻‍♂️
