Up until earlier this week I've been looking forward to R-day with a mix of excitement and nervousness, and was fairly confident that I was prepared. Now however, I'm starting to panic a bit. My pull-ups are terrible! A bit of backstory.
I recieved an LoA early in the admissions process this year, which meant I still needed to take the CFA. Now I've always had trouble with pull-ups, despite being otherwise physically fit, so they were something I worked on. Still I ended up failing the CFA the first time around. I had only managed three pull-ups. So I scheduled another test and worked with my coach to improve. The second time I passed. Barely.
Well with this hurdle scaled, I completely forgot about pull-ups. I figured they weren't in the Physical Preparation pamphlet, so I put it in the same category as the B-ball toss and stopped working on pull-ups. With R-day around the corner though, I redid everything on the test to see how my fitness preperation had come along. I was happy at my improvement for the most part, but horrified at how difficult pull-ups were again. I barely managed two.
I know this is a problem. My question is, how severe of a problem is it?
