We have a pull-up bar on our swing set, so I can utilize that. I do plan to make pull-ups a regular part of my regimen, though, as well as more focused strength work on my back.

I got the impression that this workout was more about supporting the cause and paying tribute to Memorial Day, and everyone participated as best they could.
