#100days2pullup final update. FULL VIDEO on my Facebook page linked in my bio. I made it to 11 reps. "The first 10 feel easy now. The second set of 10 (20) will be a true challenge." Hosting this pull-up challenge has changed the way my clients, male or female, feel about all kinds of exercise. We were able to prove that gender was never a limiting factor but more so a matter of patience and practice. Goal: To get 1 woman over a pull-up bar in 100 days. For myself to get from 5 reps to 10 reps. Result : Pull-ups completed! 5 women who started at 0. 5 other women doubled their initial baseline. 1 man who started at 0. 10 men performing from 2-3x their original max-effort. Thank you to everyone who has participated and supported this journey! The enthusiasm from all of you is what makes the journey just as beautiful as the destination. #100days2pullup #pullups #pulluplife #calisthenics #fitness #workout #exercise #lululemon #athleta #likeagirl #girlswholift

I am so excited for this week's #WOWW Work on Your Weakness Wednesday!!! Here is a sneak peek: Fat Gripz. I have noticed that my grip gives out on me at my 10th pull-up way before my back does. I'll be using this to make the bar thicker to improve my grip strength. What do you do to strengthen your grip? #100days2pullup #fitness #pullups #letsdosomepullups #fatgripz

#100days2pullup update! I hit 10! As a #WOWW Work on your Weakness Wednesday last week I showed how changing the width can add variety to your vertical pull. Today I demonstrate using the neutral grip! We are 1 month away for the challenge deadline! Now that I have hit my goal of 10 I'm opening there next month to doing as many as I can in 1 set. How are all of you doing in the challenge ?! I am so excited for all of us :)! #pullups #pulluplife #letsdosomepullups #fitness

#100days2pullup For those of you able to do bodyweight pullups, this #WOWW Work on your Weakness Wednesday may be your favorite one yet! I added 5-lbs only and it was enough to make a huge difference from the start to the end of each rep. After doing a few sets with weight on, pullups with my bodyweight only safely MUCH lighter in comparison :) Happy Lifting! #fitness #strength #letsdosomepullups #pulluplife #pullups

#100days2pullup we are 44 days in!!! Today's Work on your Weakness Wednesday (#WOWW ) is helpful both physically and mentally. Jumping Pull-ups 1.) From a platform high enough to place your hands on the bar, jump up over the bar and hold. 2.) Slowly come down to starting position. 3.) Repeat and focus on jumping so high your chest is at the bar so you can engage your back as you eccentrically (on the way down from the pull-up) lower yourself. *By getting a good awareness over the bar it will help boost confidence for those who have never done a pull-up. * You may find this is harder than it looks but do not get discouraged. Essentially for half of the pull-up you are carrying your entire body in your hands! Be proud of yourself :) Happy Lifting! :) #fitness #pullups #letsdosomepullups #strength #girlswholift #pulluplife #wemerc

#WOWW Work on your Weakness Wednesday! Band assisted pull-ups! 1.) Place your hands on the handlebars and place your foot inside of the band. If you are having a hard time, have someone else pull the band down to a level where you can easily step in. The thinner the band, the more intense. 2.) As you pull, engage your Lats by elevating your chest. 3.) If you start with a thicker band, measure how many reps you can do. A way to progress is by decreasing the thickness of the band. Practice doing a set of 3-5 and from there see if you can do multiple sets. Happy Lifting :) #100days2pullup #letsdosomepullups #pullups #strength
