They’re the 20 Chinups, 100 pushups, and 200 squats aps. What they do is establish a customizable workout program for people who may not even be able to do a pullup. It escalates in difficult as the user gets stronger and helps them build up to the goal of doing 100 consecutive pushups/etc. Shelley at Gun Nuts has been doing the program for a couple of months, and has noticed that the increase in upper body strength from being able to do almost 90 pushups has definitely helped her shooting.

I can’t wait to read more. I’ve taken up shooting this year and it’s just as meditative and physically demanding as yoga.
