Good. Felt it was. A little short so I added a pull up/pushups ladder at end. Went to 5 and then did ring assisted angled pulls to 10

Day 1

Videos make it a little difficult to see where hands are in the last two set of exercises. At first I thought you grabbed your legs for the boat holds due to camera angle. Other than that, good workout

Another great workout! My abs were to the point where they wouldn’t engage at the end.

Great workout. Been doing the programs for a while, went from 1 to 7 consecutive pull-ups. Love the program!

Day 2

Great workout the bar hold was unexpectedly hard! Got through it, will get every set at 15 seconds!

Day 3

Day 4

Wasn’t able to do any of the pull-ups so I supplemented with lat pull downs.

Day 6

Day 7

Bicep curls were killing me by the third set. Good workiut

I couldn’t get through the pull-ups without a strap to assist. Is that normal for these working sets?

Buen entreno, las dominadas siguen siendo duras, pero ahí seguimos!

Day 8

Day 9

What should I do to improve on the holds.

Day 10

Day 11

Great workout! I’ve noticed that my left hand consistently give way faster on the grip strength. Is there a way to remedy this?

Day 12

Day 13

Day 14

Day 15

WOWZER! That was tough! I had to take breaks between the 10 pull-ups doing 3-5 at a time, but did them all unassisted which was a first!

Day 16

Day 17

Day 18

Great abs workout but a few extra sets can't hurt after this

Day 19

Best thing that’s happened for my strength goals is finding Michael’s program!

Day 20

Good core but need more sets for full workout
