Pullups
Lately i've been training a lot of pullups mainly because the 2008 Arnold's fitness expo is coming up. They usually have a booth or two that has some kind of a pullup challenge. I always like to max those kind of challenges out, so i've been preparing to make sure i'm at the top of my game.
Here's the pullup routine I advocate for getting good at pullups. Let's assume for a minute that you can do 1 pullup (if you can't i'll touch on that later).
Do 1 pullup 10-15 times a day 4-5 days a week.
When you can do 2 Pullups 10-15 times 4-5 days a week.
Until you get to 4 pullups per set it's important not to burnout, especially the first week.
After that you can push the number of sets up to 20 per day
Continue this progression and in a short period of time you will be able to do 20 reps per set.
Ok so if you can't do a pullup, don't worry. Because you can do the same Pullup routine, but instead do Band Assisted Pullups. You can get the fitness bands here.
