Looking forward to this journey

One thing I love about training (and teaching) is that progress doesn’t come from ego lifts it comes from intentional reps. This video is a perfect example of that. 👉 Wide-Grip Assisted Pull-Ups Assistance isn’t a step backward it’s a tool. Using assistance lets you actually train the muscles you’re targeting instead of swinging, shortening reps, or letting momentum take over. Here’s what to focus on 👇 🧠 Mind muscle connection Think pull with your elbows, not your hands. Let your lats do the work instead of turning it into an arm exercise. ⏱️ Controlled tempo Slow pull up. Pause at the top. Controlled descent. That time under tension is where strength is built. 📐 Full range of motion Start from a dead hang and pull until your chest rises clean reps > more reps every time. ⚖️ Ego-free progression Assistance today = strength tomorrow. As you get stronger, you reduce assistance naturally. That’s real progress. 🌱 Plant-powered reminder You absolutely can build a strong, capable back on a vegan diet. Strength comes from consistency, recovery, and fueling your body with intention not shortcuts. If pull-ups feel intimidating, start assisted and own every rep. Strength isn’t rushed it’s earned. Keep showing up. Keep learning. Keep stacking clean reps. 💚💪 —Brooke 🔥 Drop a 💪 in the comments if back day is one of your favorites ❓ Or tell me: assisted pull-ups or lat pulldowns what do you prefer right now?

My name’s Zac Sway. I’m easing into being vegan no big declarations yet, just learning, experimenting, and seeing how my body and mind respond 🌱 I’m genuinely stoked to be in this community and to learn from Brooke and all of you. I respect people who commit to a lifestyle with intention, and I’m here to absorb, ask questions, and put things into action. No pressure, no perfection just progress. Who knows… maybe this is the year I fully commit 😏 Let’s go 🤘💚

These high-protein vegan pitas are one of my favorite staples when I want something versatile, filling, and supportive of my macros without relying on ultra-processed options. What I love about these is how simple and functional they are. You get solid protein, a great texture, and something you can use for wraps, sandwiches, or alongside meals without feeling heavy or bloated. They’re a great example of how vegan cooking can be both practical and performance-focused. Recipes like this make staying consistent easier. When you have reliable options you can prep ahead of time and build meals around, nutrition stops feeling stressful and starts working for you. This is also a great reminder that you don’t need to eliminate foods you enjoy. You just need versions that align better with your goals.
