HOW TO GET STRONG ENOUGH TO DO A FULL PULL-UP

Written By Dr. Danielle Litoff

Many women shy away from doing pull-ups because they can’t do one right away You have to build the muscles and the form up over time to do a proper pull-up. The strength to do a pull-up comes from your shoulders and back, and for most women, even those who are athletes, these can be harder muscles to develop Compared to men, women have a stronger lower body than the upper body Women can be hesitant to develop their upper body strength because they think it will make them look “bulky” In reality, pull-ups help you build strength and lean muscle mass, which in turn helps boost your metabolism and helps you lose body fat. This exercise will help you tone your upper body and lose inches in your waist since it is so core intensive

Don’t try and go for a pull-up on day on and you could injure yourself. There are do in preparation for pull-ups. In this vid demonstrates several exercises to build with proper form You will need a combo like the one in the video, (if you have a will have these) or you will want to buy Amazon or Target, or a store of your cho

The power to do a pull up is not arm st shoulders and your back The first ste strength and core strength by just hang the hanging body weight, engage your blades and the muscles underneath in y 10 – 20 seconds feeling those muscles.

Once you have a good grasp of the m strength, then you can move on to crea get some movement You can also mod over the bar, then kneeling down, hold based grip, and pulling the band down b to feel your shoulder blades moving d down

When you have that movement down, you can use a box or a chair to jump up and lower yourself down slowly. When you can do 15 or 20 of those with perfect form, then you can do an assisted pull-up with a band, and eventually move to a full, unassisted pull-up. Be very mindful of your form and if you start to shrug or scrunch your shoulders, then you are no longer using the muscles you want to use Pause and reset And if your body is too fatigued to keep the form, go back to modification, or just try again tomorrow The goal is a gradual and progressive build to be stronger than yesterday

Truthful or Useful?

Written By Jace Jacobs

How do you feel about the truth? Are you fascinated by it? Do you seek it out? Does it make you uncomfortable?

All progress starts by telling the truth. - Dan Sullivan

As much as I love that quote, I'm not interested in pursuing the truth in all areas of my life. In business results and goals, yes. A picture of the truth is valuable. In other areas, I decide whether or not the truth is important to my situation. If not, I choose to be 100% committed to what is useful.

Now, this doesn't mean I go out and lie to people and aim to be untruthful. It's more geared toward how I ask questions and how I absorb information.

Is it useful to me? That is my focus

So let's look at some examples in the form of poetry

Namaste
