📈Lifetime pull up PR achieved this week…

Yes 152.5 pounds strapped to your waist and doing a neutral grip pull up with it was (in my mind) pretty damn impressive.

But doing it at almost 40 without the aid of TRT, peptides or aggressive supplement stacks was even more eye opening.

This PR was fueled on sustainable nutrition, smart recovery AND the most effective programming I’ve ever written.

How do you grip your face pulls?

For a majority of people, types of shoulder pain presentations and personal training goals, the overhand is a superior setup:

✅Better muscular activation and targeting
✅Increased rotator cuff contribution
✅Stronger position with increased load capacity
✅Safer more centrated shoulder position

NOTE: the only time I do the “traditional” underhand grip face pull to a big externally rotated “it’s good” field goal post is in more isolated rehab with little to no load (or with bands)…

Big thanks to the world’s strongest powerlifter and all around freak athlete John Haack for executing this like properly a boss

Do MORE than just “the basics” with bells…

For far too long, kettlebell purists have been gatekeeping the real functional capabilities of this ultimate training tool.

👉Comment FKT and I’ll send the link to our NEW functional kettlebell training program featuring swing, clean, sn**ch, press, step AND twist unconventional progressions

Repeating regurgitated cookie cutter one size fits all exercises with arbitrary constraints and standards that are not only sinisterly boring, but brutally basic (and ineffective)

Here are the 6 kettlebell fundamentals you need to master:

1️⃣Swing
2️⃣Clean
3️⃣Snatch
4️⃣Press
5️⃣Step
6️⃣Twist

It’s time to evolve past the basics, and embrace functionality.

Do THIS for better recovery between sets…

Strategic rest periods are great, as long as you utilize an effective breathing strategy to reduce heart rate, respiratory rate and other vital metrics to also be as efficient as possible.

Like this 4/4/4/4 tactical box breathing method for recovery:

4️⃣second inhale in
4️⃣second hold at the top
4️⃣second exhale out
4️⃣second hold at the bottom

NOTE: do this from a relaxed seated position arms supported

A few round of box breathing will significantly enhance recovery. And have you in your next set ready to go in no time.

If you find yourself “needing” to rest 5+ minutes between sets, start focusing on the box breath to enhance efficiency, and also consider some cardio/conditioning to get in shape.

Sweet spot for almost every exercise is 1-3 minutes, tops.

The fitness industry has confused novelty with effectiveness.

If an exercise looks different, feels harder, or gets more views, we assume it must be better.

It isn’t.

The best training isn’t about constantly finding new ways to challenge your body.

It’s about finding the right ways to challenge it.

✅Build strength.
✅Build muscle.
✅Improve mobility.
✅Develop conditioning.
✅Move better.
✅Create resilience.

And most importantly, get better without breaking yourself down in the process.

Because training shouldn’t just make you better at training.

It should make you healthier, more capable, and harder to break outside the gym.

That’s what functional training should actually mean.

Not random exercises that look “functional.”

Training with a purpose AND a long-term outcome.

Social media rewards what gets attention.

Your body rewards what gets results.

Train for the life you want to live, not the algorithm you’re trying to impress.
