I Did 813 Chin-Ups in 30 Days — Here’s What Happened (ft. Myles Nesbeth)

Episode Summary

I completed 813 chin-ups in 30 days—this episode breaks down the reality behind the challenge, from mental struggles to training decisions, and what I’d actually change next time.

Episode Notes

I recently completed a 30-day chin-up challenge—logging over 800 reps—and in this episode, I sit down with coach Myles Nesbeth as he interviews me on what actually happened behind the scenes.

We break down where the idea came from, how I structured the training, and what it really felt like to show up every single day—even when motivation wasn’t there. From managing elbow stress to dealing with mental fatigue and the reality of pushing consistency to its limits.
