Joe De Luca thanks mate. The goal is to eventually unlock the muscle-up, but I reckon I’ve got a long way to go! Need to be able to do high pull-ups (waist level) first. But then again, 12 months ago I couldn’t jump rope for longer than 20 seconds, so anything’s possible.

Nice! Send photos of your equipment once you've assembled it Aletta.

Thanks Michał

Wow! That’s impressive! Do you jump every day, or do you have strict rest days?

Michał what is your average jumps per minute?

Aletta Armee you’re nailing it!! Well done! I can see the determination on your face, and you’ve got success written all over it!

Nice one mate! It's a wonderful feeling when you complete the program, right?

Rob you can also regress your inverted rows by either heightening the rings (assuming you’re doing them with rings) so that you’re far less horizontal, or put your feed on the ground with your knees at 90 degrees. If you’re doing the inverted rows on a bar you can regress by using a band for assistance. Keep cracking on with those! You’ll get stronger before you know it!

Hi Rob, just circling back to your post here because I wanted to mention that inverted rows are absolutely essential for building the necessary strength for proper pull-ups (chest-to-bar, not chin-over-bar). Importantly, inverted rows assist in getting the right scapular adduction and depression, without which full range chest-to-bar pull-ups will be very difficult. I would say you should aim for three sets of 8-15 clean inverted rows as a prerequisite to pull-ups. Then, you can use a band as a progression aid either the pull-ups, as I mentioned in my previous comment. Disclaimer: I’m no expert, and these are purely my own opinions 😜

Nice! Which rope did you get?
