Embrace the Hard Stuff – That’s Where the Growth Is

I’ve been working out for years and have gained strength in countless exercises—but there are still two movements that continue to challenge me: push-ups and pull-ups.

Despite consistent training and targeted accessory work, they remain tough. Honestly, I don’t enjoy them much, and they’re far from my best lifts.

And yet—I still do them. Regularly.

Why? Because I know how important they are. Push-ups and pull-ups are foundational movements that carry over into real-life strength and function. They’re not just exercises—they're tools for building long-term resilience and capability.

Here's the truth: progress often lives in the uncomfortable. The hard stuff—the exercises we dread, the habits we resist—that’s where change happens.

If you're avoiding a particular movement because it’s difficult, you're not alone. But you can get better—and I can help.

If you’re struggling with a movement or want guidance on how to work it into your training more effectively, reply to this email or reach out. I’d love to support you on your journey.

Let’s get stronger—together!
