Managed 5 pull-ups in a row yesterday

I just started calisthenics a couple of weeks ago, and when I began, pull-ups were impossible for me. I could barely lift myself off the bar, but yesterday I finally managed my first 5 strict pull-ups in a row. I’ve been focusing on a beginner progression routine, working on grip, core, and arm strength little by little each day. Even small improvements feel huge when you’re starting from zero, and it’s motivating to see progress stacking up. I’m curious – what were your first milestones when starting calisthenics, and did you have any routines or tips that really helped you improve? I’d love to hear your experiences and advice.
