Training Tip Tuesday: Pull Ups

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. 💚💪
