If you want to build serious pulling strength, there’s one benchmark that never lies: pull-ups. That’s exactly why I created Operation Pull-Up — a complete program designed to take you from wherever you’re starting (zero, five, or anything in between) all the way up to 20 strict pull-ups. How Operation Pull-Up Works Operation Pull-Up runs in a 28-day challenge format, but it’s built in phases: — Phase 1 — Phase 2 — Phase 3 — Etc. You move through the phases at your own pace. Everyone progresses differently depending on their starting point, bodyweight, strength level, and recovery. Some people move faster, some slower — but the structure keeps pushing you forward until you hit 20. Two Big Pull-Up Mistakes I See Before I tell you how to get the most out of this program, let’s talk about a couple of mistakes that can keep people stuck. Mistake #1: Only Doing Pull-Ups Once Per Week This does not work. Pull-ups respond best to frequency. You should think of pull-ups as a skill rather than a body-part workout. In Operation Pull-Up, you train pull-ups three times per week. Sessions are short — often just 10–15 minutes — but that consistent exposure is what drives progress. Mistake #2: Going to Failure Every Session Grinding every set to failure is a fast way to stall progress and irritate your elbows. Again, this is skill-based strength. Most of your work should feel challenging but repeatable, not soul-crushing. You’ll perform multiple sub-maximal sets throughout the week. Some weeks you’ll add two or three reps to your max. Other weeks, you might only add one — or even hold steady. What Happens If You Stick With It If you follow the plan and respect the process, your pull-ups will go up. You’ll build real pulling strength, improve technique, and develop the kind of back strength that carries over to everything else you do.

In 2005, while playing for the Green Bay Packers, I attended my first yoga class. At the time, I didn’t think much of it. But I did notice that my recovery, flexibility, and athletic performance improved. Then, like many things during that stage of life, it fell off my radar for the next 10–15 years. Fast forward to my late 30s. I was still training hard, lifting kettlebells, doing Spartan races, and competing in powerlifting meets… …but something was different. My recovery wasn’t what it...
