Show Notes
On this episode I answer an email from a fan asking how to blow past that seemingly insurmountable single pullup he's stuck at so he can get all the way to a mighty (and achievable) five reps.

On that note, if you like training that:
· Gives you more strength than it takes from you · Improves your stamina and resilience simultaneously · Powers-up every nook, cranny, crevice, and corner of your Soft Machine
Then you just might like my 9-Minute Kettlebell and Bodyweight Challenge.
As the name indicates, it's just 9 minutes long, and it's designed to be done WITH your current workouts – NOT instead of them.
Even cooler:
Many find that it actually amplifies their strength in their favorite kettlebell and bodyweight moves, like presses, squats, pullups, and more.
And best of all, it's free.
How free?
I'm talkin' freer than the 4th of July, my friend.
