Why This Lesson Matters
Getting your first pull-up is a huge win — but real strength comes from consistency. To keep progressing (and avoid sliding backwards), you need a long-term system that mixes practice, variety, and fun challenges.
Strategies for Staying Consistent
1. Grease the Groove (GTG)
Do 1–2 reps several times throughout the day instead of one long session.
Builds endurance and strength without burning out.
2. Weekly Pull-Up Slots
Train pull-ups 2–3 times a week.
Rotate between progressions, full reps, and variations.
3. Seasonal Challenges
30-day rep challenge (add 1 rep each day).
Max reps in 5 minutes.
Weighted pull-up progression goals.
Systems That Work
Track Your Volume – Log every rep you do.
Rotate Variations – Swap grip or style every 4–6 weeks.
Plan Recovery – Pull-ups hit your upper body hard; rest is part of the process.

Pro Tip
Strength is like language learning: consistency beats intensity. A few quality reps, often, will take you further than the occasional “max-out.”
