Dan, have you thought of resurrecting a workout that Brandon did years ago. I found my card with the lifts. The workout had 90 seconds to do the lift and 30 seconds of rope jumping between. I vaguely remember Brandon being in a gym for the video. 

I think if you do a kettlebell workout, this type of format might work better than 30 seconds on and 10 seconds rest.

The samples of the heavy rope program on YouTube have been great. Very challenging to use the 2 pound rope after not using it for a few months. Runs my heart rate into the 160’s.  Will be glad the ads won’t come in the middle of a set.

The YouTube channel Athlean-X has a 1 month program to go from zero to 5 pull ups in 21 days.

Yes. Another variant is to use a strong round piece of wood, like a thick broom stick or a 4 feet long stair rail, put it across two chair backs and do the pull ups between the chairs. Have the chair backs facing each other. I used two stools.

Thanks, Joe. How is summer going? Our winter hasn’t been too bad. Yet. 60 degrees F. Long range has the second week in January being cold. Kind of as expected. 

Good to see another long timer still active. I decided to add kettlebell workouts to get more muscle mass. Turned 60 this year.

My membership is set to renew on December 29. I have a valid credit card listed. Will the renewal happen automatically? Or will I need to contact you?

Started my second time for this program. I usually do 4 workouts a week, so it will take a little longer than 90 days.

Look in the YouTube channel Athlean X. He has a free program to go from zero to 5 pull-ups in 22 days.

I jump higher to practice the footwork for double unders. I slow on my cadence.

I can see the muscle growth with this program. I didn’t lose any weight, but I can tell I lost fat, so overall a visible improvement. 

suggestions for improvement would be including more full body, compound lifts. Kettlebells might be a good addition. Things like the Turkish get ups at the end so time doesn’t get impacted and they can be done at a slower pace for those of us who need to learn the movement.

But all in all, an excellent program.
