Increasing the number of pull-ups that you can do

That's a really great read Rose, it has inspired me to try different grips with my chins! :grin:

TL;DR

adding weight is by far the best method IMO

Agreed, already stated as such earlier in the thread. But I was posting it for the different grips and general information in the article. Someone else may find that useful etc.

Already did - thanks Rose.

Hey all, just wondering if anyone has a tried and tested effective program for boosting the amount of pull-ups that one can do. My goal is to do 15. Can currently do 13, good form wide arm- overhand grip.

Found the following program on the net.

What do you think of this method? anyone know anything better?

Thanks

Any updates on your progress, or have you thrown in the towel?

the following is a guaranteed system that enables you to add 6 - 10 reps on Chins .... have been doing this for about 15 years and it hasnt failed me yet ....

I lose 10kg :nod: ... (drop from 124 to 114ish :grin:)

Yeah I decided to give this a go

As gyms all closed over long weekend and never got around to getting a bar set up at home will start this week.

However i did start doing the pressups each am last week and have to say that belting out 60 odd pressups in am gives me more of a buzz than spending 1/2 an hour on tread mill ever did.

lol in the article "lat spread like a cigarette"

I'm struggling to do more than 1-2 and thats on the monkey bars at the park :pfft: I agree Optimass losing at least 10kgs helps :grin: In my avi I was doing 3-4 sets of 10 only once per week or either wide or narrow not really ever both and I was 14kgs lighter

13 well omg well done

use the 13 reps as your baseline that is you know you can acheive this so they dont count toward your new total each attempt 13 must be completed then max out with any more above this, this then becomes your goal a self comp if you can call it something.

ie stage 1 complete 13 = baseline now start counting reps acheived above this ie 5 reps day 1 1 rep day2 4 reps day 3 and so on re test in 4-8 weeks to see if baseline has moved ie baseline now = 15 repeat with diff hand grips

A word of caution they must be good form movements or your fooling yourself for the 13 however to get change utilise a little Neuro muscular facilitation big word for the other reps past 13

hoe this helps
