thanks for the tips. Maybe I can’t even pull up once as for now. I believe it has to be step by step as what you experienced and it takes time. :)

i totally love this post as i’ve seen alot of people in the gym neglegting the pullups.

pullups are essential for developing a balanced body, develope your upper back and increase your pulling ability (rowing sucks :P)

anyways, one can get a spotter to help on the pulling phase initially, and focus on controlling the down phase of the pullup. then when you can actually pull 2 or 3 on your own, you’re all set for the big haul.

tip : always stop 1 or 2 reps before failure. why? because this would ensure you can get a couple more reps out of the next set coz you havent burned yourself out. PLUS normally the last rep or two you can muster would not be as “clean” as the fresh ones… you’d be jerking, swinging and cheating yourself in a whole lot of ways just to get your chin past that bar.

so yes, STOP 1 or 2 REPS BEFORE FAILURE.

rest for about 90 secs or 2 minutes then go at it again.

doesnt matter if your max is 4 pulls (means you gotta stop at 2 or 3 pullups per set). just dont go to failure.

once you get the hang of things, you can try the alternate grip pullups (one overhand and one underhand grip), the L-Pullups (raise your legs to waist level and maintain that posture during your pullups… great core exercise) and dont be afraid to try out different grip widths every now and then..

pullups is fun.

Nice post

Pull ups are a great exercise. The ultimate test of back strength. I have a bar in my flat that i use almost every time i walk under it. This is a great way of gradually building up strength.

Keep up the good work.

trey: I don’t know about that man. I consider myself an intermediate at pull-ups. Had to do a lot of those. The term for “jerking” a little bit to help the last few pull-ups is “kipping”. I do pull-ups to failure, and kip the last 2 or 3.

Although, my goal is to increase the max number of pull-ups I can do. When I first started, I increased from 1 to 9 in one week. I maxed at 17 a few weeks back, then haven’t been doing any. I’m at 12 now, should be able to get it back to 15 soon.

My seniors back in school (way back when) could bang out 40 pulls up in one set.

The “300″ guys also kip.

So I’m really not sure if your advice is accurate, bro.

aw, OK now its interesting that you’re bringing up the kipping pullups into this discussion.

i avoided on saying anything on kipping pullups because i thought it would seriously get misunderstood by alot of people. but I for one, is a big believer in kipping pullups.

what i mentioned before was the uncontrolled and heavy swaying that’s not merely the same with a “kip”. A kip is a very controlled horizontal movement done to create vertical momentum (makes sense?)

i use kipping pullups to increase work volume, but i do strict pullups and its variations for muscle developement.

i’m a pullup purist, i do pullups, chinups, alternate grip pullups, L-pullups, kipping pullups, tabata pullups, neutral grip pullups, pullups everywhere..

hope that clears whatever doubt that you had.

how about the difference between pull ups that u put ur head in front of the bar and at the back of the bar? will smith did pull ups in I am Legend too…
