<p>Pull-ups give a lot of girls (and guys) trouble, especially at SS since the real pre-Academy training hasn’t usually started. For now, you’ll have the option to do the flexed-arm hang. Basically, they start you with your chin above the bar and you just fight gravity and hold yourself up for as long as possible. One pull-up, though, is worth more points than any length of time for the flexed-arm hang. If you are eventually accepted to the Academy and you decide to attend, you’ll have to be able to do at least one, which is the minimum for females taking the PFT.
