Train between
everything else.
Grease the Groove means a few reps, often, nowhere near failure — strength that grows between your meetings, your meals, your walks. Notch gives your watch a quiet timer: tap, knock out a few pull-ups or hold a dead hang, get back to your day.
What is Grease the Groove?
“A few easy reps. All day. Never to failure.”
GTG is a strength method built on one idea: do a few easy reps throughout the day, never pushing to failure, and let volume do the work over time. No soreness, no dedicated gym sessions — just a quiet habit that compounds. Pavel Tsatsouline called it “greasing the groove.”
Notch makes it frictionless on your wrist — tap your watch, do 5 pull-ups or hold a dead hang for 30 seconds, get back to your day.
