Chin Ups seem to be one of those movements for all of us that feel very empowering when they are improving!
Kat and Nikki are both well trained and very strong 💪
12 weeks ago though they decided they want to get to 5 chin ups which they had never done. Both were at the time able to get 2-3 on a good day.
We gave them a simple template of 1 ‘heavy’ day of chin ups where we started with sets of 1. Once we got to around 6-8 x 1 we increased to sets of 2. We finished with 2-3 x 3.
On the second day of the week we did a ‘lighter’ day which was 3 x 5 with assistance. We focused on great form on each rep, trying to finish with a proud chest at the top.
Fast forward 12 weeks and here they are, last week in our Progress Week.
Kat reaching 5 reps and Nikki so ever close to locking out 5.
A couple of things to note: Kat along the way doubted and felt like she was not improving, but kept on doing the work twice per week.
They both committed and got it done ✅
Amazing work ladies. Of course we have spoken about what’s next on this front :)
