How To Get Your First Pull-Up

How To Get Your First Pull-Up

One of the most commonly stated goals in the gym is the desire to achieve that first pull-up. It's a very functional movement and skill that has applicability to many scenarios outside of the gym. But it's also one of the least practised movements. A major reason for this is the lack of a plan, and absence of someone like a fitness coach, who can help ensure the work gets done. Here's the bare bones of a basic program template that is a great place to start if achieving or getting better at pull-ups is a goal.

Setting Post-CrossFit Open Goals

The annual CrossFit Open means different things to different people. But one thing that everyone shares, is the opportunity to use this world-wide event as an annual check-in.

How Hybrid Training Can Improve Mental Toughness & Resilience

We often tell our clients that one of the main benefits of regular workouts is that you are then able to express your fitness in any way you want, outside of the gym. This thinking also applies to the way you deal with adversity. Resilience is not given. It has to be practised and earned. Fronting up to the Workout of the Day with a focus on improvement is the most effective way to achieve this.
