Hello! And happy *almost* New Year!

If you're going to set a resolution this year, make it one that actually sticks.

Instead of another goal that fizzles by February (that's when ~80% of resolutions fall apart¹), what if you committed to building real, measurable strength—both physical and mental?

On January 1st, we're launching a free 6-Week Pull-Up Challenge so you can finally learn how to crush your first pull-up with great form. You'll receive expert tips every step of the way from Angela Gargano, a 6x American Ninja Warrior and founder of Pull-Up Revolution.

Have you ever wondered…

• If your hands should be narrow or wide?
• Where are your thumbs supposed to land?
• Do elbows go out, or should they graze your ribs?
• And what about strength training moves that can make pull-ups easier?

Angela covers all this and so much more throughout the challenge, in easily digestible weekly videos.

She'll also guide us through:

• The at-home equipment you'll need
• Mobility to help you move functionally
• Strength training foundations (because duh)
• The dead hang (it's the first step afterall!)
• Improving at all levels if you already have your pull-up down

Ditch the short-term resolutions and choose a challenge that will actually take your fitness to a new level. I'll be doing it right alongside you! I can't wait to see how we feel a couple months from now.
