Angela Gargano (@angela_gargano) is a fierce athlete, coach, international fitness model, and speaker. She’s competed 4x (soon to be 5!) on American Ninja Warrior, won the title of Miss Fitness America in 2016, and has coached over 500 women to conquer pull-ups with her Pull-Up Revolution online program. 

Angela is basically the Oprah of pullups “you get a pullup! You get a pullup! Everyone gets a pullup!!!”. Pull-ups are one of those exercises that everyone knows, but very few people can actually do. Now just because it’s difficult, that doesn’t make it impossible, and Angela has proven this time and time again. We spoke about her 8 steps to getting a pull-up and some common cues and tips to help, as well as what you might want to avoid. 

Angela and I connected shortly before recording this episode at the Raise the Bar Fitness & Business conference. We noticed we both wore Oura rings and discussed the different ways we both use it and benefit from it. Amongst all other recovery things, the ring has excellent menstrual cycle tracking and so Angela spoke about that as well, and how she uses it to dictate her training and recovery. 

We also spoke briefly about a handful of other topics from mindset, to Ninja training, to just making fitness fun. Be sure to follow Angela on IG and check out her website for programs, coaching, freebies and tons of information.
