Ever wanted to nail your first pull up? 💪 This is your gateway.

Start here, in order:
1) Banded pulldown
2) Lat pulldown
3) Bent-knees suspension pull up
4) Straight-knees suspension pull up

Master each step and that first true pull up won’t be far away 😜

Bulgarian split squats… 👀

Most people avoid them because they burn, challenge your balance, and expose all your lower-body weaknesses. But that’s exactly why they’re worth doing!! 💪

This week, we’re progressing from the easiest variation to the most challenging:

1) Bodyweight Bulgarian split squat
2) Dumbbell Bulgarian split squat
3) Barbell Bulgarian split squat
4) TRX split squat

Don’t worry if you’ve never done them before—we’ll build you up step by step. You don’t have to start heavy. You just have to start.

Once you get used to these, you’ll build stronger legs, better balance, improved stability, and more confidence with single-leg movements. Every variation has a purpose and prepares you for the next.

Give them a go this week! 💪

Push-Up Progression 💪

Pick the variation that challenges you while allowing you to maintain good form.

1) Smith Machine Incline Push-Ups
2) Banded Push-Ups
3) Push-Ups
4) Suspension Trainer Push-Ups

Once you can do 8–12 controlled reps, progress to the next level.

Give it a go and let us know which stage you’re at! 👊
