In this episode, I break down the Strike Zero Program—a simple and brutally effective way to get better at pull-ups, push-ups, sit-ups, squats, or any bodyweight exercise. This is the exact program that took me from struggling to do a single pull-up to being able to rep out 20+ strict reps consistently. It’s customizable, time-efficient, and built for busy entrepreneurs, parents, or anyone trying to stay fit while building a better life.
💡 Key Takeaways:
- The Strike Zero Program uses maximum effort sets until you “strike” through all reps down to zero.
- It tailors itself to your fitness level by bringing you to failure every set.
- Rest periods are short (about 60 seconds), making workouts efficient and effective.
- You can do it three times per week with a lower body move, upper body push, and upper body pull—or just pick one exercise when short on time.
- Momentum > perfection—one session, even short, builds consistency and results.
📌 Example Workout:
- Air Squats: 200 reps total
- Push-Ups: 100 reps total
- Pull-Ups: 50 reps total
- Do max reps → subtract from total → rest 60 sec → move to next exercise → repeat until you hit zero.
