How to Increase Your Pull-Ups Fast with This Simple Exercise
How to Increase Your Pull-Ups Fast with This Simple Exercise
If you want to increase your pull-up count, you need to build strength in different movement patterns as well.
The most effective way to do that is by adding Australian pull-ups, also called inverted rows, to your calisthenics workout program.
This movement develops your back, biceps, and grip while reinforcing perfect pulling mechanics.
Australian pull-ups gradually bridge the gap between horizontal and vertical pulling.
They build control, shoulder stability, and muscle endurance.
If you struggle to get your first pull-up or want to go from a few reps to double digits, this exercise is a must in your calisthenics journey.
Add these moves to your pull up routine!

Forget Size Goals, Train For Strength (Especially if You're a Beginner)
Forget Size Goals, Train For Strength (Especially if You're a Beginner)
If you’re chasing size in your training without focusing on strength, it’s time to rethink about your goals.
Here’s the truth: if you’re training naturally, without performance-enhancing drugs, or having some prime genetic talent, building real, long-lasting muscle comes from getting strong.
Not from pumping out endless sets of curls or chasing the pump with high reps and light weights.
This isn’t just about opinion.
It’s about how the human body works. So if you’re trying to build muscle, improve your physique, and stay athletic over the long haul, strength training is the foundation you need.
Strength First, Always
As a natural athlete, your body responds to stress that demands adaptation.
That means your muscles grow when they’re challenged with intensity, heavier loads, harder movements, real resistance.
Think less about “looking big” and more about getting strong. Because when you train for strength, ...

That first pull-up? Huge win.

So let’s talk about what to do next and how to level up your bodyweight strength with smart, fun, and effective calisthenics training.

Step 1: Get Really Good at That One Pull-Up
We’re not here to crank out sloppy reps. One perfect pull-up is worth ten half-reps any day.
So focus on:
-
Hollow body position: engage your core, keep your legs together
-
Controlled movement: no swinging, no kipping, no momentum
-
Full range of motion: chin clearly over the bar, arms fully extended at the bot...

How I Keep Body Fat Low Without Counting Calories!
Let’s talk about something that’s been around for centuries, gets hyped on social media every January, and still confuses a ton of people: fasting.
Is it healthy? Will it help with calisthenics? Does it mean starving yourself and being miserable all day?
Yes, yes and no.
If you're new to calisthenics and curious about intermittent fasting, or just looking for a way to reset your body, without going on some weird juice cleanse, keep reading!
Step One: Chill. Start Simple.
If you're new to fitness, carrying extra weight, or still figuring out what a push-up really feels like, don't worry.
You don’t need to jump into a 24-hour fast tomorrow and workout while dreaming about pancakes.
Start with a 12-hour eating window.
Example: Eat between 8:00 AM and 8:00 PM. That’s it. You’re fasting the other 12 hours (mostly while sleeping).
Do this consistently for a couple of weeks, and your body will start adapting naturally. Once it f...

1. Eating Out Is a Letdown
You used to love restaurants. The menus! The sauces! The bread baskets!
Now? You’re the one saying, “Do you use seed oils?” and looking for organic options.
When you’ve been cooking real food at home, with fresh ingredients and no mystery sauces, even fancy restaurants start tasting like sadness and indigestion.
Your digestion’s also 100x better when you eat at home.
So, “dining out” is now just code for...
