The block
Mina trains in her building's gym before work and sends her sets in on Sunday nights. She had tried for a pull-up for years with bands and never got off the floor without one.
We dropped the bands and built it from the top down: hangs, slow lowerings and heavy rows, two short sessions a week on top of her lifting. The first rep came in week eleven.
She did six in a row in week twenty-four, filmed from the side so I could see her chin clear the bar every time.

Ines reads what I send on Sunday and the plan on Monday is different because of it.

Pick anyone for the whole block: where they started, the check-ins, and what changed.
I came about my back and stayed for the deadlift.

She changed one thing a week. By week eight I didn't recognise my own squat.

Two physios told me to strengthen my legs. Ines showed me how.
