This challenge runs for 14 days (but you can continue beyond). You will practice one bodyweight exercise frequently each day using the Grease the Groove method.
The challenge is also available in the Holohabits app; if you don't yet have it, download it here and join this challenge there: www.holohabits.com ✅ Goals
- Build strength without soreness or fatigue
- Improve neurological efficiency and movement patterns
- Develop consistency and discipline through frequent practice
- Increase max reps in your chosen exercise
🔍 Session Structure (Each GTG Day)
- Step 1: Test your max reps (example: 10 strict pull-ups)
- Step 2: Calculate working reps (40–60% of max → 4–6 reps)
- Step 3: Perform low-rep, perfect-form sets 5–8 times per day
- Step 4: Spread sets across the day (e.g., morning, midday, afternoon, evening)
- Step 5: Journal / Notes
⚠️ Safety Guidelines
- Never train to failure — always stop well before fatigue
- Maintain strict form for every rep
- If joints or tendons ache, reduce volume or take a rest day
- Rest 1–2 days if soreness builds up
📈 Progress Markers
