Still stuck on strict pull-ups, handstand push-ups, or muscle-ups no matter how hard you try? This episode breaks down exactly why progress stalls and what to do instead.

We dive into the two biggest blocks holding athletes back:

2. Only practicing when you’re exhausted

Then we show you how to structure smart, effective skill sessions so you build strength, nail technique, and actually progress.
