Make 2026 The Year You Finally
Get Your 1st Pull-Up
This new training course leads you step-by-step to your first pull-up
(no matter where you're starting from)
Push play:
You’re not "bad" at pull-ups.
You were just never taught how to train them...
For many of us, our first attempt at pull-ups was in front of a clipboard-wielding gym teacher.
Maybe you got a few shaky reps.
Maybe you strained and slipped off the bar after just a few seconds.
Maybe you were left discouraged and quietly accepted that you were “bad” at pull-ups…
Now years later, you want to finally conquer the pull-up (and silence that negative inner voice) but that first rep still feels impossible.
Most pull-up training advice amounts to: "Add bands and grind out negatives until something clicks."
For some, it eventually works.
For most, it doesn’t.
They struggle for a while, get sore elbows, and eventually give up because there’s no real plan…
So if simply “trying harder” is not the strategy, what is?
Pull-Ups Are A Skill
And like any skill, they need to be learned progressively.
Strict pull-ups require levels of mobility, stability, strength, and coordination rarely taught by most trainers and programs.
This course exists to teach you what’s missing:
+ How to build pulling strength progressively
+ How to practice success instead of failure
+ And how to develop the techniques that makes your first pull-up feel inevitable instead of impossible...
I'm the gym teacher you never had
My name is Zack and I’ve been a strength coach since 2012.
Over the years, I’ve taught a bunch of people how to do strict, full range-of-motion pull-ups:
From middle-aged soccer moms who just started working out to former CrossFitters who finally ditched the kip.
Each person helped me to refine my coaching process and my own training along the way.
Today, you get the benefit of all those years of experimentation in one streamlined course.
Introducing:
The Pull-Up Transformation Course
Getting your first pull-up isn’t about finding one "secret" exercise or cue.
It’s about transforming your body and what it's capable of through proper strength, skill, and nutrition.
The course is broken into 3 distinct training phases - stair stepping right into your first pull-up.
You don’t rush or jump ahead and you don’t test your pull-up every week...
You build your pull-up piece by piece as you sculpt your physique and refine your technique.
5 Reasons Why This Pull-Up Plan Works
(When Others Don’t)
Most pull-up programs fail beginners for a simple reason:
They start too close to the finish line.
They assume you already have:
- The pulling strength to lift your body
- The mobility and control to protect your shoulders & elbows
- The coordination to use the right muscles at the right time
So when you struggle, the only solution offered is “do more”:
- More reps.
- More effort.
- More fatigue.
That approach works eventually for some people...
But it’s slow, frustrating, and often leads to stalled progress or cranky shoulders and elbows.
This program takes a different route.
#1) You Build Strength Before You Need It
Instead of testing your pull-up over and over, you'll build the required strength both progressively and intentionally.
You’ll train:
+ Vertical pulling patterns
+ Horizontal pulling support
+ Grip strength
+ Core tension and position
By the time you’re ready to attempt full pull-ups, your body already has a robust base of strength to draw upon.
#2) You Train For Success (Not Failure)
Training to failure teaches your body to fail, not how to succeed.
This program keeps you working in ranges where:
+ Technique stays crisp
+ Reps are repeatable
+ Confidence builds session to session
You’ll leave workouts feeling challenged, not defeated.
That builds consistency and consistency drives progress.
#3) You Learn Techniques, Not Just Exercises
Most programs give you a list of movements and hope you figure out the rest.
This one teaches you:
+ How to engage your lats
+ How to use tension to your advantage
+ How to breathe and brace
+ How to position your shoulders and elbows safely
These are small details, but they’re the difference between spinning your wheels and finally getting above the bar.
#4) We Respect Recovery
(so strength can show up)
Pull-ups are demanding on the elbows, shoulders, and grip.
Instead of hammering them every session, this program:
+ Manages volume
+ Rotates stressors
+ Builds you up without insane workouts
That means fewer aches, fewer setbacks, and consistent results.
#5) This Is How A Coach Would Teach You In Person
If we were training together, I wouldn’t just throw you up on a bar and hope for the best.
I would:
+ Meet you where you are
+ Build your strength in layers
+ Adjust the plan as you progress
+ Keep you safe while pushing you forward
That’s exactly how this program is structured.
The Result?
You stop guessing and start training with confidence and a plan.
Within the first few weeks, you’ll feel noticeably stronger in your back, arms, and core.
You’ll know exactly what you’re working on each session and why it matters.
As the workouts stack up, the pull-up comes more into focus...
And one day (usually sooner than you expect) you pull yourself all the way up to the bar under control.
You don't jump up and hope for the best; you grip and pull - feeling light and in control.
Your chin clears the bar with ease, and for the first time, you aren't fighting gravity - you’re mastering it.
You aren't just "strong for your age" or "strong for a girl."
You are strong, period.
You’ll walk away from the bar with the quiet confidence that comes from doing what 90% of the people in the gym can’t.
Here's what you get in the Pull-Up Transformation Course:

The Pull-Up Nutrition
Mini-Course
This transformation course leaves no stone unturned and that means giving you a no-BS nutrition strategy that supports your pull-up goals.
Pull-ups are a relative strength skill:
The stronger you are relative to your bodyweight, the easier pull-ups become.
Just a 5-pound weight loss can spur huge gains in your pull-up progress.
But don't worry - we're not talking about fad diets or restrictive eating here.
Instead, you'll learn how to eat in a way that protects strength and muscle, fuels your training, and maximizes recovery... all while gradually reducing bodyweight.
You don’t need to “diet” to succeed, but eating strategically can dramatically speed up your progress.
This guide gives you just enough structure to support your training without turning nutrition into a second job.

Bonus Stack
To make Pull-Up Transformation one of the most in-depth training courses ever, I'm including this collection of bonus resources:
Strong lats are mandatory for pull-ups. Unfortunately, most lifters have a hard time finding and activating them.
This bonus is a crash-course in upper-back anatomy and a collection of tips, tricks, and cues to effectively engage the lats so you can pull with confidence!
The Fool-Proof Protocol To Go From 1 to 3 (or more) Pull-Ups
After nailing their first pull-up, many lifters fall into a few common traps that leave them with sore elbows, stalled progress, and maybe even worse at pull-ups!
In this bonus plan, you'll learn how to solidify your gains and get even more pull-ups without working harder or stressing your joints.
Two of my complete follow-along "hybrid mobility" workout videos.
Each routine is a blend of mobility, stability, and integrated strength movements targeting a specific area of the body - one covering the hips and one for the shoulders.
These movements help fill gaps in your movement practice - further boosting performance and reducing injury risk.
Includes companion guide.

Frequently asked questions
I've never done a single pull-up in my life. Is this too advanced for me?
No.
In fact, you are the exact person I built this for.
Most programs start with relatively advanced calisthenic drills which are useless when you’re stuck at zero.
We start with the Strength Foundations phase, which focuses on essential, beginner-friendly movement patterns that build total-body strength and set the stage for pull-ups in the future.
I have a lot of weight to lose. Can I really do a strict pull-up?
This is exactly why we included the Pull-Up Nutrition Protocol.
By understanding a few basic guidelines, you can strategically (and sustainably) bring your bodyweight down as your strength builds up.
We attack both sides of the pull-up equation and give you plenty of performance markers along the way to gauge progress.
Is this going to wreck my elbows and shoulders?
Most pull-up injuries happen because people pull with their upper traps or use momentum to jerk themselves up.
The warm-up sequence, weekly programming, and our focus on mechanics are all designed with your health, safety, and recovery in mind.
I'm in my 40s/50s... is it too late to build this kind of strength?
Strength is a skill, and your nervous system is remarkably adaptable at any age.
In fact, pull-ups are one of the best "fountain of youth" exercises because they demand back strength, shoulder mobility, and core stability - all things that contribute to a healthy posture, functional movement, and vitality.
How long does it take to see results?
While everyone’s starting point is different, most students feel a massive improvement in pulling strength and body control after 3-4 weeks with the Phase 1 program.
The routines are designed around progressive performance standards that build off each other.
Starting from scratch, you could get your first strict pull-up in as little as 12 weeks.
What equipment do I need?
Nothing fancy.
You just need a sturdy pull-up bar and a few resistance bands and free weights.
If you have access to a gym, that's great, but this program was designed with a small home gym in mind.
The course includes a curated list of recommended equipment.
How many sessions are there per week?
Each of the programs in the course are made up of 3 sessions per week.
You can split the workouts across whatever schedule you choose, aiming to complete all workouts within 7-10 days.
What if I get stuck or have questions?
You’re not just buying a PDF and getting left in the dark.
You'll become a member of our private community.
There you can ask questions and post videos for direct feedback.
How is the program delivered?
All of the program downloads + coaching videos are hosted in a membership site.
You get lifetime access with purchase.
Are there any additional costs?
Nope.
