This is hands-down one of the clearest and most inspiring breakdowns of Grease the Groove I’ve ever read. What really hit me wasn’t just the pull-up progress (which is wild, by the way), but the way you tied neural adaptation and psychological transformation together.
The “portal to a version of myself I’m still getting to know” line—chef’s kiss. That’s the kind of shift most people miss when they chase performance goals without noticing the mindset rewire that’s happening underneath.
Also love the systemized approach: tracking, timing, office doorframe as anchor. It’s not just about discipline—it’s about designing for inevitability. Makes me want to pick a personal “impossible” and start greasing that groove.
Thank you, Anton! I'm having a lot of with this project so far. I may make some tweaks to the programming to reduce the volume slightly as the 18-20 set days as I've had a few which needed an extra day of recovery in between. A more manageable progression might be keeping the # of sets between 10-15, adding 1 set each workout rather than two for the 10-20 sets range.
Now I want a pull up bar on my office doorframe.
I also loved this “Multiple sets throughout the day rather than one exhausting session”
I started implementing this mentality with workout recently and it’s so freeing and easy to commit to. It helps with consistency for sure!
Great read! 👍
Glad you enjoyed it!
