Hey guys, what's up? It's Jeff Cavaliere here back from athleanx.com. One thing you probably
realize or maybe you don't is that the best piece of equipment that you can use to get
stronger, to build bigger muscles and to stay ripped is your own body. Now one thing that
I think people are forgetting is that some of the bodyweight movements that you do are
difficult. Sometimes people have a difficult time doing pushups, pull-ups seem to be the
hardest thing to do... but does that mean that you can't do pull-ups? Absolutely not.
You don't wanna shortchange yourself and say that you're gonna leave pull-ups out of your
program, because you will be shortchanging yourself in the results department. I'm gonna
show you today ATHLEAN-X never leaves anybody behind. I'm gonna show you anybody can do
a pull-up with something real simple, it plays off on the last video that we did...the one-arm
pushup. These bands, which I love, the jump stretch band, I hang them over at the top
of the squat rack. I pull it down, so I have a loop. Now I can just use one, but I'm gonna
actually pull this all the way down, put my foot right in the center and then straighten
out my leg. Now, if you see what it is from the front, I've got myself an assisted pull-up.
I'm gonna lower myself down, come on up. The resistance on this band is outweighing me
probably about 50%. So do you need to go to the gym and get on one of those assisting
machines or do you need to go buy one of those assisting pull-up machines? No, absolutely
not. You just need one little, simple band and any bar you can hang in your doorway.
It will allow you the strength to do a full pull-up, so you can start to get the results
that you want that that great exercise can give you. Now you can go so far as a one-arm
pull-up, when you have the assistance of the band. This is hard... I mean, I would never
be able to do a dead hang one-arm pull-up without this. I can try, but I can't. I can
do it, if I hold on to my other arm, 'cause I have a little bit of extra support. The
concept is...if I were to do a bunch of sets of these assisted one-arm dead hang pull-ups,
eventually I would be able to get myself to do that one-arm dead hang pull-up. So don't
get stuck, don't get left behind. Get on the ATHLEAN-X program today, let all these tactics
I use help you get the best body you can get in the next 90 days. And don't be confused
about all these other programs that sort of have a tendency to forget about you out there,
that can't make you do every single exercise. Guys, stay tuned...I've got some really great
news coming up in the next week or so about the ATHLEAN-X program. You're gonna want to
be on board when you hear all this, but until then get in shape, have a great weekend. I'll
see you soon!
