Mastering the pull-up: 3 steps to conquer your first rep

Pull-ups are the bane of every gym newbie, but guess what...they reveal a lot about your strength, bro. There’s no cheat on a pull-up bar. Your strength either raises you or it doesn't.

When I first started hitting the bars, it was brutal. A grown man hanging there, struggling like a wet noodle. Lol, but hey, we all start somewhere, right?

Here’s how you conquer that bad boy:

1️⃣ Lose the extra baggage. Less weight, less to pull. Simple math, bro. Keep your diet clean and focused on fueling muscle and burning fat.

2️⃣ Negative training. Jump up, hold the top position, and slowly lower yourself. Builds the strength on the way down. Feels like a game-changer.

3️⃣ Band-assisted pull-ups. These are your starter kit. Get one of those resistance bands, loop it around the bar, and step in. Less load, more reps. Build that muscle memory.

Remember, David took down Goliath with a simple sling and faith.👊🏻

Your first pull-up? Let it be like that...small start, big win.💪🏻

Hope this helps. God bless
