pullups

In order to do more pullups, you must do more pullups. But let's say you're stuck at just a few measley reps and no matter what you do you just can't seem to add any more to your all-out best set.

Are you stuck forever in pullup purgatory?

Not quite, friend. The simple rep scheme I divulge in this fine episode can help take you from 'weak' to 'freak' at pullups in mere weeks. Give it a try and let me know how you like it. 

Today is a mix of physical training and philosophical pondering, as all good podcasts should be!

In Episode #319 of 'Meanderings' Juan and I discuss: how my brother is eating 5 servings of fruits and veg to glow up, whether there is any merit in forcing people to do things for 'the greater good', Juan's realisation that he is no longer good at pullups, why we differ on the topic of 'specialisation' in training regimes, why it would be fun to see my dad in a modern environment and the WOW meetup that's sparked Juan to find better ways of communicating in his MMW3.

As always, we hope you enjoy. Mere Mortals out!

Here's a fun fact: you can only add weight for so long before you just can't add anymore. And then you're stuck.

The solution? 

Before you add weight to any exercise - pullups especially - you should find ways to get STRONGER at them first. Then, adding weight will be like a walk in the park. I dish on how to do that in this fine episode.

As the old saying goes, "What's good for the goose is good for the gander". In other words, a lot of times the advice you'd give to a beginner and someone far beyond beginner status is very similar in nature. When it comes to pullups, this episode will dig into this and show you how to bump up your rookie numbers no matter WHERE you are

There's a claim in the fitness world - even backed up by the New York Times - that women simply can't do pullups.

But is this REALLY true? 

I dive into this topic in detail - including my own experience training women - in this epic episode

Ever wonder what it would be like to be a Guinness World Record holder? Our guest John Orth will tell you all about it! In 2016 he broke a world record and then strived to beat it again just two years later. You'll hear first-hand how intense his training was, the process for documenting the actual attempt, how an injury threatened to derail his effort, what it felt like when someone beat his record, and his biggest takeaways from this incredible experience. 

Wondering what his record was? Listen to find out!

Ah, the internet. A great place to gain access to all sorts of valuable information you would never even dream of having otherwise. 

Of course, it's also a great place to get overloaded with BS advice, which is precisely what this podcast is aiming to help one lad overcome (and maybe you as well) regarding how to nail your first pullups.

Today I'm excited to present to you the first EVER podcast with a very special (and super strong) young lady named Frances Moylan - or as I like to call her, the Iron Lady of Oz. 

In this episode we dive deep into her "origin story" - how she went from being afraid of strength training to conquering levels of strength that few humans in history have ever possessed. Listen and learn!

And while you're at it, be sure to hop aboard my daily email list where all my best, brightest, most no BS tips go out on the daily: https://alekssalkin.leadpages.co/8weekchallenge/

Mike McCastle has accomplished some of the most amazing tasks of endurance I've ever heard of. In this episode we go deep into developing mental strength, maintaining commitment in the face of adversity, and dealing with physical and emotional pain. This is an amazing episode and I hope you really like it! 

Mike's feats of endurance are part of the 12 Labors Project and include  setting the world 24 hour pull-up record while wearing a 30 lb pack (5804 pull-ups), pulling an F150 pickup truck for 22 miles through Death Valley, climbing the height of Mount Everest (29,029 feet) by going up and down a 20-foot rope 1,450 times, flipping a 250 lb tire for 13 miles the day after he lost his father to Parkinson's disease, running 20 miles a day for 100 days straight, and more.
