Pull Ups.... arghhh!

When it comes to pull ups.. simply put I am useless! On a good day I can manage perhaps 1 or 2 unassisted, while I have a goal of being able to knock out 10 or even 20 in a single session.

I've been researching the best ways to improve, options include:
  1. assisted pull ups (either using a friend, resistance bands, more equipment or other means)
  2. negative pull ups
  3. mini-sets of 1 or 2 multiple times during the day and gradually increasing the number that can be done in a single repetition.

I've decided to therefore utilise a mix of 2) negative pull ups and 3) mini-set. I have an additional work sheet now to record progress with the aim to be able to be able to consistently complete some pull ups by the end of August.

Bring It!
