Dear Friend,
Did you know that less than 5% of people are able do a single pull-up? Heck, even bodybuilders wish they could crank out pull-ups and push-ups with ease.
But who can really blame them?
The pull-up is heralded as the ultimate challenge – the ultimate test of one’s strength and endurance, and the standard by which one’s level of fitness is ultimately judged.
Simply put… you aren’t really fit unless you are banging out a few rounds of pull-ups with ease.
But your body is NOT the only thing that changes with your mastery of the pull-up. Your sense of self-worth changes too.
Let me explain…
People are naturally drawn to exceptional things. And the pull-up, as you are well aware, is no easy feat.
So you can just imagine all the attention you’ll get while effortlessly banging out one pull-up after another – from the gym staff, to the trainers, to the beginners getting back in shape, and even to those in single digit body fat – your pull-up prowess will not only draw their attention, but earn their respect and admiration as well – especially if you are a woman.
Which leads into my embarrassing story that I promised to tell you…
See, a couple months ago while at a fitness conference in Las Vegas I came across a group of trainers huddled around a pull-up bar watching a female trainer as she knocked out 29 pulls ups in a row.
This caught my attention.
Later that afternoon, after the conference I headed to the hotel gym for my workout. With the image of the pull-up girl still in my head, I posed a mental challenge to her…
…my challenge to her was that I could knock out 30 pull-ups straight (one more than she had done earlier that day) proving to myself that I was the fittest trainer at the conference.
I failed.
The truth is I never even got to thirty pull-ups. In fact, I barely eeked out 18 pull-ups and when I got off the pull-up bar I saw HER out of the corner of my eye, standing there, waiting to talk to me. Talk about embarrassing!
Think about that for a second. Despite being a 36-year-old man, world-renowned fitness author, and trainer I lost in a battle of strength and endurance… to a woman… a woman in her forties who also happens to be a mother of two no less.
Talk about a BLOW to my ego.
But there’s a reason why I’m telling you this humiliating story of mine… (as much as I wish it never took place).
You see, I realized that if a 40 something woman can outmatch a younger, stronger male fitness expert, then I know she can teach YOU a few training secrets to improve your own pull-up and push-up max – regardless of your fitness level.
Yep, I said push-ups, too. As it turns out she can also knock out 100 push-ups straight – no stopping – no rest.
In fact, before I tell you another word about the amazing pull-up and push-up training system she stumbled up, take a look at what others are saying about her “Challenge Workout” program.
