EXERCISE

You CAN Do Pull-ups, Push-ups or Bench Press Heavy Weights

Or whatever thing it is that you want to get better at

I was broken for a few months last year. It wasn’t COVID, though some of the symptoms made me very suspicious of that. One of the more annoying things was that I lost strength. I struggled to do three pull-ups and six or seven push-ups were all I could squeeze out. For me, that was a major diminishment in strength.

Whatever was trying to kill me lost its battle and I began to feel better, so I quickly set about recovering my strength. I’ve used the method I’ll present here many times over my life after recovering from illness or a bout of extended laziness and neglect.

I’ve also used it to help people do things they never thought they could do: a woman who couldn’t do push-ups, a man who couldn’t do a single pull-up, and a friend who wanted to double what he could bench press.

This works and it’s simple. It doesn’t take much time, and you will see results quickly without any need to hurt yourself.

That last bit is important. No pain, no gain? Phooey on that. I never liked that and never did it. I don’t like pain.
