Had to adapt

Started my 100 pull-ups and got about five in before I felt a piercing pain in my right side. It’s from when I slipped and fell down the stairs late this summer, and it’s still not 100%.

Instead of ditching the challenge, I adapted.

Tried TRX from the ground - nope. Tried inverted rows - nope. Pulldowns were okay.

Started light with about 15 reps to make sure my back wasn’t going to blow up 😂 Then started going heavier, knocking out 4-6 between other exercises. Finished with 50 total, which was actually 10 more than I planned.

I probably would’ve gone with band-assisted pull-ups, but I couldn’t find my bands because my gym is currently buried under Halloween shit. 😂🎃

Point is: adapt when you need to. These challenges are about challenging ourselves however we can. The goal isn’t to hurt yourself trying to check a box.

Find a version you can do and keep the promise. ⚔️
