That's the goal...I want to be able to do pull-ups like it's no big deal. There's one man at the gym who kind of adopted me one morning when I was doing bench presses. (pointed out a few things on form and safety) After running into each other at the gym for a few weeks, (and being my informal trainer), he took me around to a few things and had me try to do a pull-up (not a chance), a dip (shocked me how difficult it was...I couldn't do one of those either), and some other things that I've forgotten. So I've been on a kick to try to bang out a pull-up or dip since then. That was last fall I think. So last weekend, when I saw him at the gym, I said, "Hey Jorge, watch this!" and I jumped up and grabbed the parallel pull-up grips and banged out TWO of them. He laughed "HEY! You can do them! Remember before you couldn't even do one of them!" (He hadn't known that I've been trying hard to figure out how to do those all this time.) I felt so badass :)
