Dhruv has been working towards his first pull-up for a while now.
We’ve been training together online for the past 6 months, gradually building up to this —dead hangs, scapular pulls, assisted work, just consistently putting in the reps.
Recently, we started training at the same gym.
Yesterday, I saw him on the bar and suggested we try one.
He hesitated for a moment… but gave it a shot anyway,
and got his first pull-up.
A solid reminder that progress is happening even when it doesn’t feel like it.
If you want to know more about where we started from and where we are now in terms of fitness, stay tuned.
@AanchalXIV Another thing which I feel is very rare nowadays, teaching or training with empathy. With you I’ve legit never felt scared or ashamed to tell anything because you always try to understand your client’s POV than just enforcing a structure/diet.
@AanchalXIV The saddest part of it all, politicians and folks in-charge (cutting across party lines) are apathetic to these concerns. The “chalta hai” attitude seems so deep rooted in our sociopolitical environment 🤷♂️
@AanchalXIV Imagine being under Uttarakhand UCC and then registering in for a live in. Like how tf do you explain doing paperwork and dealing with Indian babus in case of a breakup 😭💀
@komal_42 Agreed. His only mistake - not being able to match up to his dad’s standards and debuted in an era with better actors. I mean prime abhishek would eat up most new age actors lol
@komal_42 I read somewhere that in such times, having an “anchor” activity really helps. Like something which is low effort (for me that’s a 20-30 min brisk walk with Aujla songs) which you’re able to do even in the lowest of emotions, that way perceived momentum isn’t lost by the mind…
@komal_42 Hot take : it was always a mid mithai at best, all that hype only due to the fact that it gets passed on so much, eventually people end up having it more 🫢
@TinyMuscleJerry That’s damn impressive. Kinda read it somewhere that every failure is just one iteration lesser to reach success and yeah, that’s the best perspective to have🫡
