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.
