W'sup Squad! My name is Ahnna (or AK). Located in Texas. I manage a gym that recently affiliated with DEKA. This is going to allow me to continue leading from the front. Looking forward to building with you all!

Name: Karri Peterson Track: Foundation, for now, until I make up my mind. I just want to do it all 😆 Will be true on Dec 31st: I will look and feel better/stronger than I did 10 years ago

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?
