    Sample Weekly Workout Schedule

    June 3, 2017 / 1 Comment

    A weekly training schedule should be a thoughtful organization of the days that you workout. This ensures that you can train each muscle group, each skill, or whatever your goal is with enough frequency for results, while also preventing overtraining. Many of us have never written a training routine, much less a training schedule. That seems like the territory of…

    4 Rules to Pull-Up Mastery

    May 28, 2017 / No Comments

    Mastering pull-ups is difficult for everyone. Some people even have it on their bucket list. That’s a bit dramatic. But I get it. I felt like I was going to pop a blood vessel when learning the movement. While this exercise is difficult for both men and women, women cite more difficulty with it.

    May 17, 2017 / No Comments
