Argh....I still can't do a pull up or chin up in p90x

I can't either. And I've been working out 32 years and I swim daily and have a LOT of upper body endurance, but apparently - not a whole heck of a lot of strength. Add to it my age, and well things go downhill after a certain time of life.
I do them as best I can. I have the STS tower and I have my bench set up under it and there will never be a time I can pull up my body weight without my feet on the ground. But I try not to "use" them.

I can't do many pushups on my toes. I used to be able to crank out 20 or so, then I had a c-section 20 years ago. Well that sucker still hurts when I sneeze (If I don't properly prepare myself for the sneeze...) and pushups also.

What I have been trying to do lately, as I am working my way through STS (again for the 5th or so time) is do like 2 on my knees then 2 on my toes....but I don't think I'll ever get to the point where I can do them all on my toes.
Plus my freaking elbows hurt.
And I don't feel pushups in my chest. And I concentrate on the muscles being worked...but it's more my back, triceps, and WRISTS where I feel it.
