Inspo Tidbit: Pull Up Warm Up

Easy like Sunday mornin'

Morning, frens! It’s a slow, stormy Sunday morning here.

For paid subscribers kicking off the 2025 Pull Up Palooza tomorrow, I wanted to do a quick “how to warm up” demo vid (in my jammies).

This works whether at home or at gym.

It’s raining hard outside so I apologize for the background noise.

One thing I didn’t demo (because I don’t have bands with me) is that doing rows with bands is also a great warm up.

Same concepts apply for any kind of pulling movement:

• shoulders blades packed down gently into back pockets

• full range of motion where scapula spreads apart at full stretch/hang and comes back together to crack an imaginary walnut behind your back.

Here’s the progression to follow for the next 6 months. Then we’ll ALL test how far we’ve come and what our new personal bests are! »

🔥Warming up is crucial for injury prevention AND it allows you to pull more weight because your muscles are warm and flushed with metabolites.

Questions?

❤️‍🔥 Take this to heart:❤️‍🔥

• You have the strategy to achieve this. I believe in you even if you don’t believe you can (right now). Let that be enough today.

• You have the power to create your reality.

• You create whatever you commit to (for better or worse — consciously or subconsciously).

• Repetition and consistency in your daily micro-choices and habits are the foundation of your life.

  • What kind of foundation are you choosing to build daily? Weakness and woe… or power and pride in conquering things you never thought possible?

• The old ends here. A new journey begins. Open your own doors of opportunity and deny the inner and outer naysayers. You are at the wheel here.

• Say F NO to the people, situations, and things that don’t serve where you’re headed in 2025. Protect your time and inputs ferociously.
