Challenge Check in Day One
Welcome back, everyone! 👊
Checking in — how did everyone do with the challenges so far?
Drop your progress in the comments. What felt good? What was tough?
A few of you asked for tips on pull-ups, so here we go:
If pull-ups are tough:
• Use an assisted pull-up machine or resistance band
• Start with slow negatives — get to the top and lower yourself for 3–5 seconds
• Add dead hangs to build grip strength
• Practice scapular pull-ups to learn how to engage your back
• Keep your core tight and think about driving your elbows down toward your sides
And if pull-ups are too easy… guess what?
Make them harder. 😈
Try:
• Weighted pull-ups
• Slow 3–5 second negatives
• Pause for 1–2 seconds at the top
• Chest-to-bar pull-ups
• Wide-grip pull-ups
• 1½ reps — all the way up, halfway down, back up, then all the way down
• Higher-rep sets with shorter rest periods
The goal is simple: meet yourself where you are, then make it a little harder.
Don’t just go through the motions. Challenge yourself, track your progress, and get better every week.
Now check in below — how did you do?
