I don't kick/do the motion like in the video above, either. I can just pull straight up. Oddly enough, I've always been able to do 2-3, even when I wasn't in very good shape...odd talent I suppose.

(...but still I'm kind of proud of myself on that one )
That's great. Very few women have the upper body strength to do even 1 pull up. I can do about 9...and I'm a man. Frankly, that is probably 8 more than most men can do. I think that is more a statement of the fitness of our country though than of my strength.
