This has nothing to do with pull ups…but is my latest challenge: Constant postings of puppies, long faces and pleads. My will power is growing thin, but I haven’t given in (yet)…on with the post now: How are your pull ups coming along? I’ve got some tips for you in this video below. You’ll see … Continued
Scap what? Scapular retraction is really important to be able to master the pull up. This is really just fancy talk for ‘squeezing your shoulder blades together’. Most people try to pull up with just their arms and then they internally rotate the shoulders to get no where on their pull up. By learning to … Continued
Are you tired of your ab routine? Want washboard abs, but what you’re doing isn’t working? My friend Tyler is great at creating movement progressions and now he’s done it for an ab program. Since Tyler is hellbent on spreading the word of his unique PM3 Method he wants nothing more then to share his … Continued

Friends do things for friends, even if they don’t want too… I didn’t understand Ben’s reluctance when I asked him to do a video of one of his workouts for me. I do videos all the time and so do several of my other fitness friends…how was I to know that Ben just ‘didn’t do’ … Continued
