Pullups are the one exercise you can't fake your way through — and the one you quit first. You start a bar routine strong, then the "one more set" turns into "tomorrow," and tomorrow never counts anything. Willpower alone won't drag you back under the bar week after week.
- You set a pullup goal, hit a plateau at the hardest reps, and quietly stop showing up.
- Nobody's watching, so a half rep with kicking legs feels the same as a clean one — and neither one matters.
- Group pullup challenges live in a group chat that dies by week two, with no way to prove who actually did the work.
- You want a reason to grab the bar today, not a vague promise to yourself for someday.
How Cadoo solves it
Money on the bar, not just goals in your head
Bet real cash with friends on hitting your pullup target. Once your money is on the line, that last rep stops being optional — you either pull yourself over the bar or you watch your stake walk into someone else's wallet. Winners split the pot, so the reward is as real as the sting.
Every pullup verified, so wins are earned
Point your phone camera at yourself and Cadoo's AI counts each pullup and scores your form — no honor system, no padded numbers, no kicking your way to a fake total. Because every rep is verified, a win in Cadoo means you genuinely did the reps, and so did everyone you're competing against.
Pull with friends, climb the leaderboard
Challenge friends head-to-head, rise through leagues, and watch the leaderboard sort the talkers from the pullers. Turn your best set into a shareable, skinned highlight clip you can send to the group — proof, bragging rights, and a fresh dare all in one.
Frequently asked questions
How does Cadoo know I actually did the pullups?
You record your set with your phone camera, and Cadoo's AI counts each pullup and scores your form in real time. It only credits clean reps, so there's no honor system and no way to pad your total — the number you win on is the number you truly pulled.
What happens to my money if I win — or if I miss my goal?
When you hit your pullup goal, you win and the winners split the pot, so a real effort turns into real payout. If you fall short, your stake goes to the players who made it. That's the whole point: money on the line is what keeps you coming back to the bar.
Can I do a pullup challenge with my friends?
Yes. Cadoo is built for betting with friends — go head-to-head, run a group challenge, and track everyone on a shared leaderboard. Since every rep is camera-verified, nobody can fudge their count, so the standings are honest and the trash talk is earned.
