How do I increase my pull-ups...

8 dollar.


do some negatives a the end of your set.

after you pass 25 and fail.....

have a freind push up on your feet or the small of your back to lift you up to the top position...then have hem let go, and descend as slowly as you can using your own muscles power.

do this for 4 reps or so

your welcome.

negtives are awsome.

when I used to bench alot, that is one of the only ways for me to break through platues effectively.

how often though? I do pull-ups 3x a week right now. Should I just incorporate that in my back workout? BTW, I do palms inward if that has any relevance.

Go as wide as you can with PALMS OUT---super slow hitting the top of your chest on the bar and tell me how many you get

Buck, I was like you. My pull ups topped out at 20 for the longest time. I was training back twice a week. Then I dropped down to one day a week. I would bust out two sets with no weight... then 3-4 more hanging weight for 6 reps. I saw my numbers go up steadily till I hit 27 reps on my first set. (Didn't think of shooting for 30.) After that I switched routines.

P.S. Art Zeller, the famous bodybuilding photographer, could do a pull up with 200 lbs hanging from his dip belt.

I have just started doing pull ups...
I can't do one. I want to be able to do 10 by August. It is embarrasing and it is going to change.
