I've also got a chin up bar and am going to work on that too. I saw a magazine article that claimed that every man should be able to do 10 chin ups ... I used to be able to do that quick comfortably. Now however ... shall we just say I'm in the single figures ;-) I need to start this again (I fell out of the loop when moving house, getting married, getting lazy).

I can't do 100 in one go. It's normally 30-40 first then 20, then bursts of 10.

It has inspired me to give it a go. So far I have gone from 4 pushup to 10 and already feel the benefit. As you say, it is a great way of demostrating how you can achieve a goal by disciplining yourself to complete small steps. I saw a recently saw a link to this in a cycling magazine.
