My name is Shubh. I am not a personal trainer. I don't have a certification on my wall. I'm just a guy who got obsessed with a pull-up bar and couldn't stop asking why.
It started embarrassingly simple. I wanted a planche. That was it. I'd seen some dude do it in a park video and I thought — okay, how hard can it be.
Very hard. Turns out. Very, very hard.
I trained for two years. Two years of tuck planche leans, pseudo planche push-ups, bands, chalk, sore elbows, YouTube rabbit holes at 1am. And I kept stalling. Same spot. Every time. I'd get to advanced tuck and just... stop. Couldn't figure out why.
Nobody could give me a straight answer. Forums said "just get stronger." Videos said "be patient." My body said nothing useful.
So I started doing what I do when I'm frustrated — I started breaking things down into numbers. How much do I weigh? How long are my arms? What does that actually mean for the torque my shoulders have to handle? I pulled up physics papers. Old gymnastics coaching manuals. Random biomechanics PDFs from university sites.
And slowly it started making sense. My numbers weren't where they needed to be. Not even close. I wasn't failing because I was lazy or inconsistent. I was failing because I had no idea where I actually stood relative to where I needed to be.
That's the whole reason this site exists.
I built it because I needed it. There wasn't anything like it. Everything out there was generic — "do 10 pull-ups before you try a muscle-up." Okay, but what if you weigh 90kg and have the wingspan of a pterodactyl? That changes things. A lot.
So I built something that accounts for that. Bodyweight. Limb length. Strength ratios. The stuff that actually matters when you're trying to figure out why you're stuck — not just whether you're working hard enough.
It's not perfect. I'm still adding to it. I still train almost every day and I still get humbled regularly. Last month I finally held a clean straddle front lever for a full 5 seconds and felt like an absolute maniac about it.
That's kind of the whole thing. This is a project built by someone who's still in the middle of the journey. Not someone who figured it all out and decided to sell it to you.
Just Shubh. Bar, chalk, and a lot of math.
