I’d just like to say, two weeks ago I couldn’t complete one stinking proper pull-up. Today, I started sets of three pull-ups. This really works. Bonus: This also got me in the gym and now I’m doing more than just pull-ups. I’ve noticed everything gets easier the more pull-ups you can do.

Today is my 61 birthday and I started the celebration at 6:30am by doing 4 sets of chin-up(palms facing me), 8 reps each. This afternoon around 6 pm, I’ll do four sets of pull-ups,
6 reps each. Tuesday’s and Thursdays and Saturdays I do push-ups, 3 sets, 50 reps.. I have a free standing pull-up/dip frame in my garage that I’ve been using regular since this date a year ago. My goal was to do one set of 10 chin-ups & 10 pull-ups today, but it’s not quite happening.

Ryan on Feb 20th – hanging from the bar will help your grip, but won’t do much for the rest of you. If you’re failing because of your grip then that’ll help, but what’ll help more is hanging with bent arms – as bent as you can, for as long as you can. As you continue with that, you’ll find that the strength you build will help the rest of the pull up.

There is very little muscle in your fingers. Fingers are moved by the pulling of long tendons. The tendons are connected to muscle in your palm and forearm.

I see guys every day at the gym doing fake pull-ups. They might go 1/4 of the way and they are pretty smug.

I’d say go with the lat pulldown machine until the strength goes up and then move on to real chip-ups: wide, standard, close, and inverse grips.

One thing that’s really awesome is to have a chin-up bar in your home. You can crank a few out every time you go by it; it adds up!!!

I recently bought a rock climbing fingerboard/hangboard and put it up on the floor joists in my basement. I didn’t have any place I could do pullups. I’m only up to two so far – I just started this work out – but the hangboard totally works for doing pullups on. The bonus is that hanging on it gives me a stronger grip and bigger forearms too. The board was like thirty bucks, in case anyone else has a house like mine with no place to put a pull up bar.

I’m a runner and started doing pull ups about a year ago. The first day I could barely do five. I’m now up to 400 pull ups per week, typically three to four sets of 20 reps. I’ve also started weighted pull ups. I’m 57 years old… so if I can do it, anyone can. I have to say that I’ve worked really hard at it… nearly every day I feel I’m almost maxing out..

ANOTHER GOOD STRATEGY; SET UP PULL UP BAR IN A NEUTRAL DOORWAY MAYBE DOWN TO THE BASEMENT, GARAGE, BACKYARD, IN MY CASE ITS TO MY OWN BATHROOM AND DO ONE PULLUP EVERYTIME YOU PASS THRU THAT DOORWAY, COMING AND GOING… YOU’LL BE DOING THE BOY SCOUT MINIMUM IN NO TIME!
