Adam · First Pull-Up
Built from rows and assisted reps to five strict pull-ups.

Athlete journeys from first pull-ups to muscle-ups, handstands, lever work and competition-ready sets.
A new skill often appears after weeks of less dramatic progress. Stronger pulling, better shoulder control, longer holds and cleaner regressions may improve before the athlete lands a first muscle-up or freestanding handstand.
Success stories make that process visible so progress is not judged only by the final skill.
