I cannot be stopped. From writing about pull-ups, anyway. I can be stopped all-too-easily from actually doing them.
But after this post, I promise to try to attempt to consider writing about pull-ups less often. (Sorry — as far as promises go, that&#8217;s the best I can do right now. [...]]]></description>

[Pull-ups can be scenic.]
Yes, I&#8217;m still going on about pull-ups. (Mainly to postpone doing the work I should be concentrating on instead.) But hey, if you&#8217;ve grown weary of the topic — if you don&#8217;t want to learn how to do this bang-for-your-buck bodyweight exercise better — you&#8217;re welcome to leave.
Wait! I didn&#8217;t mean it! [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This past weekend, I attended a rugby camp for the U.S. women&#8217;s 15s team, and the topic of pull-ups came up. Often. A lot like the way pushups keep coming up lately. (See here, here, and here for examples.)
