What up, squad? Imma walk you through a killer back workout with some triceps today. These sorts of exercises can be very effective if you do them the right way. What’s the right way? You gotta superset them. Don’t be going into the gym thinking you’ll do 4 sets of 10 of each exercise, and that’s it.
That’s what lots of people do and then complain because they don’t see results. You gotta be going in embracing the mindset of doing hard things to get stronger. Going to the gym to do what you’re used to doing won’t do much for you. So, superset these exercises and welcome the pain. Remember, when it’s hurting, that’s when you’re getting money!

How To Get Strong At Pull-Ups
If you’re in the process of getting strong at doing pull-ups, don’t use a band. The reason is that the band provides too much help, which prevents your body from becoming stronger because it will stay inside its comfort zone.
Just ask someone to help you a little. Tell them to give you just enough help so that you can get one or two more reps in while giving all of your effort.
The Secret To Getting Stronger
You gotta learn to keep going. You must push yourself so that you can convince yourself that you can do it. Listen, your mind is gonna try to convince you that you’ve done enough. But, that’s because it’s avoiding the stress—it’s an instinctual reaction.
However, if you force through, it will activate another instinctual reaction: adapt and adjust, or in other words, get stronger. Always remember, when it hurts is when you’re actually getting money! Reps that hurt are the ones that count!
Embrace this way of thinking, and I guarantee you that you’ll get stronger both physically and mentally. This is the sort of mentality that builds character.
This is why I always say that what we do in the gym transcends the gym. We’re in there, strengthening our will! Our physique is just a consequence of this.
