Today, after weeks of practice, I proudly did 9 chin-ups on my chin-up bar. As soon as I was done, my 11-year-old daughter came over and banged out 12 of them. Then she wiped her sweaty hands off and did 8 more. Then she gave me pointers on my technique. FML

Well she does have years of practice on those monkey bars compared to your few weeks... Don't feel to bad OP.

I used to be able to do about 30, as a kid. I'm down to about 15. The difference? Not working out every day and probably about 80 lbs which is a lot to lift. At 100 lbs, everything is easy! Roof jumping? Heck yeah!

Your kid kicks ass! Encourage the working out, too, especially if it's something you can bond over. You'll want stuff like that in your life as she grows older.

You have more body mass, it's harder.

shes not stronger than you! im sure she weighs way less than you do! tell her to lift YOUR body weight that many times! if she can do THAT, then i would worry.

Kids are really strong and resilient. Don't worry OP! I can't even do one chin up!

Do remember she is 11 and that she probably only weighs 100 lbs. You my friend may be between 140-210 if in good physical shape depending on your gender. Smaller body weight = less strain.
