## Resource

Most chin-up advice you'll find online is either incomplete or complete bullsh*t! In this week's episode, Joe breaks down what actually works (based on his 30 years of real-world results.) Whether you can't do a single rep or you've been stuck at the same number of reps - Joe explains exactly how to break through your plateau! First, he lays out his proven 4-phase progression to help you get your very first chin-up (without wasting time on ineffective fluff). Then, he reveals his "chin-up cluster ladder" - a simple but powerful method to rapidly increase your strength and reps. You'll also learn the biggest mistake people make with band-assisted chin-ups...and how to fix it so they actually carry over to the real thing! If you're serious about improving your chin-ups, this episode will change the way you train overnight! *For a full list of Show Notes + Timestamps visit www.IndustrialStrengthShow.com .
