Progress shows up fast when the program is built properly and the athlete puts in the work. Assisted progressions lead into stronger squats and improved chin-up performance.
Half-kneeling rope woodchops train the obliques while encouraging a stable, spine-friendly core position. The reverse woodchop adds variety and challenges control through a different diagonal pattern.
Angles90 grips can make pull-ups easier on the joints, but loading them with a belt can create clearance issues. Pairing them with an Xvest solves the problem and keeps weighted pull-ups moving smoothly.
