Finally get your first pull-up!

In this episode, I break down exactly how I help athletes earn their first strict pull-up. We cover the biggest mistakes people make, the best exercises to build strength, how body weight affects your progress, why grip strength matters, and a simple weekly plan you can start today.

Whether you're just beginning your fitness journey or you've been trying for months, this episode gives you a practical roadmap to make your first pull-up happen.

Topics covered:

•  Why pull-ups are about relative strength 
•  The best exercises for pull-up progress 
•  Grip strength and shoulder stability 
•  Ring rows, negatives, and band progressions 
•  Common mistakes that slow progress 
•  A simple weekly pull-up plan 
•  How long it really takes to get your first pull-up 

If you're consistent, patient, and train the right way, your first pull-up is closer than you think.
