Listen up. DO NOT be embarrassed or ashamed to use the gravitron / pull-up assistance machine.
The gyms are packed with losers who let what-other-people-see influence their workouts. The winners are people who don't give a damn what all the spectators see, but simply do the work necessary. The necessary work is often unglamorous, and EVERYONE could be embarrassed by it. We have such strong sensitivity to glamour and looking good! And judged by glamour, true work rarely makes the cut. But it's the true work which pays off in the end. Worrying about what other people is the worst handicap you can impose on yourself. The ignorant will judge you by glamour, I suppose. The knowledgeable and the true will judge you by performance and hard work, and will be able to recognize it.
The gravitron or pull-up assistance machine can help you.
A fixed plan, which you *stick to* when you go into the gym, is also a key to success. If you don't have a fixed plan which you actually force yourself to complete, you'll try a pull-up or some other accessory exercise, then walk away -- because it's tough.
