How to Do Your First Pull-Up
Is your goal to be able to do pull-ups?
Do you just try and try, and no matter what, it seems like you aren’t getting close?
Well, it’s not your fault. While, yes, you need to have a certain amount of strength to be able to do pull-ups, you also need skill.
Pull-ups are a skill, just like any other bodyweight movement, and that skill requires practice.
I’ve developed the perfect pull-up routine for you to do from the comfort of your home. It requires only a pull-up bar and a chair—that’s it!
Follow this routine every other day consistently for 2-3 weeks, and I promise that by the end, you’ll be able to do 1 pull-up!
I know what you’re thinking… Pull-ups are super hard; there’s no way I can do them! But I promise, if you follow this routine and eat your protein, it can be done!
The Routine:
- Negative Pull-Ups: 5 reps
- Scapular Pull-Ups: 5 reps
- Dead Hangs: Build up to 60 seconds
- Inverted Rows: 10-15 reps
- Planks: Build up to 60 seconds
- Side Planks: Build up to 60 seconds each side
…and that’s it!
You can add this routine on top of your current one, and I promise, pull-ups are going to come!
Make sure you drop a comment to let me know when you’re doing pull-ups!
