If you're stuck and can't seem to make progress towards your pull-up goals, odds are you're
performing exercises that will NOT improve your ability to perform more pull-ups.
Exercises such as:
- Lat Pull Downs
- Band-Assisted Pull-Ups
- Machine-Assisted "Gravitron" Pull-Ups
- Bodyweight Rows
Do NOT have much, if ANY, carry-over to actually helping you to do more pull-ups.
(Don't get me wrong - these are fine exercises in their own right, and I use them regularly in my programs!... it's just
important to know they they are not necessarily going to help you do more pull-ups, if that is your goal.)
If you want to improve your pull-ups, here's what I recommend you try instead:
-> the "Physique Zero" Pull Up Progression Method
It's called the "Physique Zero" Pull Up Progression Method, and it's actually a free BONUS program you get when
you pick up a copy of the Physique Zero course.
Here's how it's set up:
1 - You "test out" at the beginning of the program. This helps you set a starting point, as well as a goal for
the end of the routine.
2 - You pick the "phase" to start at, depending on if you are just getting started, more intermediate,
or even more advanced. There are 10 levels total to progress through.
I followed a very similar routine, that used basically identical principles, to take my pull up total from 6
to 13 in about 10 weeks, leading up to the last Tactical Strength Challenge I competed in.
If you are looking to do more pull ups, this is a great resource I recommend you check out...
plus, you get a full at-home bodyweight strength program to go with it!
