Being able to do a pull-up or pull-ups, it's a great accomplishment, but you struggle. You've been trying for a long time. You can't do it. We're going to give you the formula. Be able to do pull-ups in 30 days. Let's get to it. Justin's been trying for 45 years. He still can't do it. So close. He's a heavy cake he's got. I can hold myself. This was, did you guys get this often with your clients? Yeah. Especially female clients where they're like, I want to be able to do a pull-up. yeah it was a big goal yeah yeah i think it's a it's a it's a fun goal it's a great exercise but it's you know high resistance right you're lifting your body weight um but being able to do it is it's fun it's a great back exercise very functional and a lot of people who want to do more pull-ups go about it the wrong way i think that they believe if they just train their back more
or add in more pull downs and just increase the volume, that that's going to do it. Not realizing that there is a way to get better at a skill, which is all exercises are skills. There's a much faster way to get good at that.
It's actually interesting how little getting really strong on your back actually plays a role. Yes. You can get really strong on your back and see a minimal difference. Now, if you take somebody who's, Never lifted and you get a strong back. Let's say you test them the first day and they can't do a single pull-up or maybe they can do one, and then you'll get them a strong back. They can probably do a couple, but there's not a lot of carryover, not like you would think there would be.
Well, again, people – It's more strength-to-weight ratio. It's like you'd probably do better just getting leaner.
Well, so there's strength-to-weight ratio, but also – this is a big one – is that people, you know, when they look at exercises – they look at exercises as it relates to body parts. So it's like, those are chest exercises, those are shoulder exercises, those are leg exercises. And that's true, but exercises are skills. And so if, for example, if your goal was to throw a baseball twice as far as you currently can, and you wanted to get really good at throwing a baseball really far, there's two approaches you could take.
