Day 1: 5 MRS (Maximum Repetition Sets) with 90 seconds rest between sets (Only do as many as you can with proper form) Day 2: Pyramid Method. Do 1, then 2, then 3, then 4, then 5 and continue like this until you miss a number (e.g. you were supposed to get 8 but only got 7); 10 seconds rest between each set (eg: 1, rest 10 seconds, 2, rest 10 secons etc.) After this do a MRS. Day 3: Working Sets. Pick a number of reps you believe you can perform for 9 sets (if you complete less than 9 sets, lower the number in subsequent workouts. If you complete more than 9 sets, raise the number.) Those 9 sets are divided into 3. 3 sets of normal grip, 3 sets of close grip, and 3 sets of wide grip. 60 seconds rest in between each set. Day 4: Same as day 3, with working set number adjusted accordingly. Day 5: Do the day you find the most difficult. Hopefully this rotates and you find yourself working on different aspects.

The pyramid is always misunderstood. The Armstrong program specifies 10 secs of rest for EACH repetitions in the previous set, so it's 1 pull-up 10 secs rest, 2 pull-ups 20 secs, 3/30 secs rest etc... My source is "The Armstrong Pull-Up Program".

Day 1- 5 sets of maximum reps rest 90 seconds after each set. Day 2- Pyramid method, first set 1 rep second set 2 reps... 10 seconds rest after each set. when you hit failure rest 10 seconds and do maximum reps. Day 3- Training sets, normal grip,close chin grip and then wide grip. rest 60 seconds and repeat 3 times Day 4- same reps as "Day 3" with 60 seconds rest between sets. if yoy can do more than the reps in "Day 3" next week add 1 rep to "Day 3". Day 5- repeat the hardest day. in the morning do 1 set of pushups, rest 5 minutes and then do the other 2 sets.

Did this for 5 weeks. I must say, amazing. I started with 5 pullups, after 2 weeks, I was already doing 12 in the morning on the 3rd week. Is this possible when talking about strength or did I just learn a better technique after training for 2 weeks (10 days)? I'm now 4 days of rest after finishing 5 weeks and I think I will try my max this week some day after a good warmup and see where I stand and probably will continue the same routine but with a weighted vest +5 or +7kg. You think I should do it with the w'd vest or should I just start from the scratch using only bodyweight and counting week 1 again and doing another 5 weeks after resting 5+ days? In any case, this program truly has worked already for me and I used it for impossible dips also. Thank you Barstarzz and big respect! Bless you guys from Finland! :)

+ClashWithLiam I will try today more pull ups after a week of rest, I haven't continued this program yet. I felt that I should do something different for some weeks, so I have concentrated in isometric pull up holds on top and on halfway, also did some pull ups with weighted vest 5kg. After another break, I was able to do 13 reps, 10 reps with 5kg vest and 11 more without vest with 1min 30s. breaks. Later, I was able to do 10 reps of wide pull ups pretty easy which I had trouble before, so that time I made 3x10 reps, shoulderwide/wide/neutral with 1min breaks. I was amazed I could pull off 10rep sets and it felt really good now that I had struggled to get my set reps up from 7-8 in 3 or more sets. Keep grinding and believe in the free will and choice to better yourself both mentally and physically, as well as spiritually.

What worked for me (I exercise on and off, so periodically lose some strength and have to get back in shape) was simply adding weights if I can do more than 7-8 pull-ups. I am naturally skinny, so that might not work too well for heavier people. Just add 5-10-15-20 lb weights (increase weight once you are able to do 7-8 pull-ups in a set) either in a backpack or grab them with your feet.

@BOB211242010 жыл бұрын
Higher frequency of exercise correlates with faster performance improvments. This is a basic rule of sport science (it's in all the manuals). The problem is that the body requires time to rest and recover. If you can recover in 24 hours, then the ideal workout frequency is every day. Calisthenics like pull-ups are not stressing the muscle in the same way that weight training is for body-builders. Also, it's the case that the bigger the muscle the more recovery time is usually needed, hence body-builders emphasise rest so much. The goal here, however, is not to build muscle mass but to improve one's pull-ups. What can be said here is that beginners with no pull-up training might want to ramp up this routine progressively instead of jumping right in to it. If you feel too sore use your common sense and take a day off.

If you're sore to the point that it's actually painful to do daily activities then that means you aren't training that muscle frequently enough. Of course that's assuming you haven't injured yourself. If you do pull ups once every two weeks then you'll probably be sore every time you do them. Once a week you'll probably have very minimal if any soreness. 5 days a week and you won't really be sore at all unless you're just starting to do them.

I would add them up and I would do over 80 a day, when I got better, I would go over 150 a day. As you get better you'll see yourself doing more and more reps every try. My max is 15 now and will get back at it again using this program. Good luck!

I did the routine for 6 weeks. I got some good size, strength and stamina gains but didn't double my single set maximum - not even close. After 6 weeks my 'training sets' went from 4-8 which is a big improvement and yes it is double... but my single set max only went from 17 to 23. It's a good routine for people who are time poor but still want to workout. Just recognise that you will also need to do something else - sit-ups, squats, etc. In the mornings I often did a push-up pyramid instead of 3 separate sets to help save time. So a good routine which would be great for anyone who can't do more than 10. Hope this helps....

At most gyms or if you have a weight room at your school you can go to after school, they have something called assisted pull ups and dips where you can add counter weight to the machine and make it easier to do pull ups (the more weight you add on the easier) and that can get you to the point to where you can do one. If that's not an option, do something that works your biceps and lats. Those are the two main muscles engaged when doing pull ups. For biceps you can do some curls with dumb bells, which is a pretty common and easy way to get your biceps going. I'm not sure what else you can do for lats besides lat pull down or something which would be at a gym but if you can go to a gym, definitely go hit up the assisted pull up machine. It will help you a ton.

50 kg (110 lb) is little. It's roughly what most late teen girls weigh. At that weight 4 pull-ups is nothing special at all. I believe I could do 7 around that age (unless my memory is letting me down), and I hadn't performed a single pull-up in my life before that. At a young age a lot of kids can perform a hell of a lot of pull-ups without training. That number will, however, get lower as you grow though, unless you actively train your lats.

Thanks for putting this up, I really appreciate it. I have a question: from reading on the Armstrong Pullup Program website, it suggests that the rest in the pyramid day should be 10 seconds for each rep you just did in the previous set. Meaning, 1 rep, 10 sec rest, 2 reps, 20 sec rest, 3 reps, 30 sec rest, and so on. Any thoughts on this?

I think the rests for Day 2 are not the same as in the original Armstrong's program. From his PDF: "Rest 10 seconds for each repetition in the previous set", so if I get it right, it is this: 1 repetition - rest 10 sec 2 repetitions - rest 20 sec 3 repetitions - rest 30 sec ... Ed, thanks for all your demos!

You can substitute the pull-ups for chin-ups and the 3 max effort set push-ups each morning will help you get in shape for pull-ups. If you are antsy to get started on pull-ups, try putting a chair below you to support your legs. As you get better, use the chair less and less until you can do pull-ups.

*For people that aren't so damnass crazy i got a better one with better rest times here. I tried it myself and it works: Pull-Ups: (5 Days in a row, with 2 days off after) Day 1: - 5x max pull-up sets. (90sec rest) Day 2: - Pyramid Method: - 1 Pull-Up. 10sec Rest. 2 Pull-Ups. 20sec Rest. 3 Pull-Ups. 30sec Rest. etc. Until you fail a set. -> Then 10 sec rest, and do one more set of max pull-ups Day 3: - Pick a number of reps that doesn’t let you go over 9 sets: 3 sets of: close chin-up, wide pull-up, and shoulder width pull-up. - Example: 3 sets of 2x Shoulder-Width, 2x Close Chin-Up, 2x Wide pull-up (30sec rest) Day 4: - Pick a number of reps that doesn’t let you go over 9 sets: 3 sets of: close chin-up, wide pull-up, and shoulder width pull-up. - Example: 3 sets of 2x Shoulder-Width, 2x Close Chin-Up, 2x Wide pull-up (30sec rest) Day 5: - Repeat the day that was the hardest for you.

Thanks for the awesome program. For day 3, are we supposed to rest 60s between normal, narrow and wide pullups or only rest 60s between every rotation of the 3 different pullups? Your video shows no rest between the pullup types, not sure whether you are saving time for demo purpose or it's meant to be done like that.

So I did this program for just a single week. I was getting pretty low numbers all throughout the week, despite having a 15-rep max in the beginning. But I kept at it and three rest days after the final training day, I got 18 pull-ups w/ less "grinding" reps. So yeah, this program worked like a charm! Thanks for the video.

5 Days consecutively stressing one bodypart? Doesn't that hinder recovery? Surely training every other day would be better? Have any of you tried that? I tried the 5 days straight and did it for 2 weeks before suffering severe pain in my elbows (golfers & tennis elbow). Mind you, I am 53, maybe age hinders recovery a little.

Yes, you can use it for either, however, on day 3, you should be doing 3 sets of normal pull-ups, 3 sets of chin-ups, and 3 sets of wide grip pull-ups.

try to increase explosiveness in upward movement and try to pull up as high as possible (bar to chest). In the beginning also use the momentum of your legs and check your grip, there are youtube video explaining the "special" grip for the best transition pullup > dip movement - hope that helps.

Hello, the explosive pull up really works on your power which is good for the muscle up if you wanna get it later. The normal pull up with same speed in both direction is good for working your muscle. Either way works, just do both for the sake of variations. One thing might happen for the explosive pull up might involves some swing which makes the movement easier. So when you do it, you have to beware of your form. Peace.

Hello, in day 3, what type of pull ups do you start with? Normal, close grip or wide pull ups? And did you mean you do 3 sets of one type first and then you move to second type? Or do you do one set of each type and then repeat? The reason i'm asking is that if i start with normal pull ups i can do lets say 8 for each set, but then i wont be able to do as many wide pull ups as those are harder. Thanks

at school we called it "stairs". We would gather around the horizontal bar and each would do pull-ups; first - one pull-up, then, after everyone else is done - 2, and so on. Most of the guys would get out before 10 :D. I could do about 30 pull-ups in on go(now only about 20ish), but that way I could barely do 16.

Amaru...For Day 3...They basically want u to get 9 Total Sets: 3 "Regular" 3 "Close Grip" and 3 "Wide Grip" Sets. You should rest 60 seconds in-between each "Set." The number of repetitions (how many chin-ups u do each set) is left up to you. If u can't complete all 9 sets...he says u should lower your repetitions & pick a number that will allow you to complete ALL 9 sets. If you do all 9 sets with ease...he says that u should INCREASE the reps to make it more challenging. Hope this helps.

I have a question for day 3, do you take a 60 second rest in between each set (normal, 60 sec, chin, 60 sec, wide, 60 sec)? or do you take a 60 second rest after finishing one set of all three kinds of pulls ups (so: normal, chin, wide, 60 sec rest, normal chin wide, 60 sec rest, etc. etc.

Am I supposed to rest 60 seconds inbetween every set?(That is after doing 3 reps of normal pull ups, rest, then do 3 reps close grip,rest and sofort.) Or am I supposed to do the 3 different sets(9 reps total) and then rest 60 seconds before I do another 3 different sets?

It depends on many other variables such as other training you do, diet and whether or not you already have size. Basically, if you have very little muscle, this on it's own can put on size however if you already have a developed body, you will need much more volume and variation in your routine to get gains. If you are already big, you could even lose size if you don't do other weight training. Either way, the main goal for this particular type of workout is functional strength

I do push ups 3-6 times a day everyday and it's enough workout for me, quickly climed from 15 pull ups to 50, just a small effort and it takes you 30minutes or less a day, the time between rests are sometimes 90seconds and other times many hours and i still get muscle mass.
@xXKryp7onit311 жыл бұрын
It depends on how hard you train. For example, endurance athletes (runners/cyclists) train almost everyday. If you need more rest (if you're sore from the day before) then take it. Some weeks, I can make all five days, but other weeks I rest on the fifth day. The first two days aren't physically draining either, it's really only the training set days that wear you down.

my routine for more pull ups is pretty simple as well. you do it over the course of a month, six days a week. OK on the first day you do as many pull ups as you can and write this number down. the next day your aim is to do more than 5 pull ups. every time day you manage to do 5 pull ups the next day you add 1kg to a weight belt or in a backpack and keep writing down the weight and number of pull ups. if you can't do more than 5 you just stay at that weight until you can. by the end of the month I had 15kg in a backpack. on the last day of your month do as many pull ups as you can, either in sets of 10 or just keep going until failure. when I first started this I could only do 5 pull ups but on the last day I found 10 pull ups easy. I was also doing this routine with dips and it worked just as well. good luck and have fun
