In less than 4 weeks, I am going to be 50 years old. When I turned 40, I could not do a single pull-up, or even hang from a bar, and my push-ups were ugly AF. It can be done!

This is probably one of the most evil hamstring exercises you can do at home and with bodyweight only. It’s hella effective. PS: I’d rank Nordic curls as number 1 in terms of evil.

Randos: you’re 50 and have abs? Must be on gear! And if that argument doesn’t work, it must be the good genes. How about dialing in diet, training, sleep, and then practicing with patience and consistency? Do the work and results will follow.

Deficit push-ups A couple of tricks employed here to make push-ups 🌶️ - tempo: slow on the way down + a tad of an iso hold at the bottom - increased range of motion at the bottom Really squeeze that chest for coming out of the hole and keep shoulders away from the ears.

A tip to gain strength for the full range of motion (ROM) in the bottom position of an L-hang chin-up or pull-up, the hardest part in L: —> Strict, hollow body on the way up —> go into L on top —> negative in L down Shoulder mobility work before practice is needed, too.

Chin-ups in L are a nice way to make the good old chin-up a bit spicier without adding weight. These hit the lats (and the quads and the core) hard.

When I don’t have time for a full session before work, I do what I can (pull-ups/push-ups, high intensity) & then take 30 min over lunch to finish what I started earlier. Do what you can with the time windows you’ve got. Seize movement opportunities as they present themselves.

Ever noticed yourself rounding, hunching your back, and raising your shoulders to get to the top end range of a chin/pull-up? I mentally cue myself with “chest to the bar” To train the strength needed for this, you can utilize bodyweight rows such as Australian pull-ups.

Progress is not always about adding reps or weight. It can be much more subtle, such as a tiny bit more ROM or smoother execution of reps. Nail the process and stay the course. Lots of things are happening underneath the hood just waiting to emerge as a breakthrough 💪🏻
