Show Notes

Can women do pull-ups? Yes—absolutely. In this standalone Beast Over Burden episode, Niki Sims and Andrew Jackson break down the controversy around new pull-up standards and use it as a springboard to tackle one of the most common fitness myths: that women can't do pull-ups.

You'll learn:

  • Why benching your bodyweight often predicts your first chin-up

  • How to progress from bands and negatives to unassisted reps

  • Why bench and chin training sometimes interfere—and how to fix it

  • The truth about "high-protein" food trends like Starbucks' new protein milk

This episode is a blend of myth-busting, practical programming, and smart nutrition advice for lifters who train for strength, health, and longevity. Whether you're a beginner or chasing your next PR, this one's for you.
