How To Increase Your Pull-Ups From 0 to 10+ Reps FAST (3 Science-Based Tips)

Pullups are generally one of the most difficult exercises to master. In fact, most individuals have yet to even achieve their first pull up. And for those who have, they’ll then often struggle to increase reps on pullups. Although you’ve probably already tried a few things to help increase pullup strength or achieve your first ever pull-up, the truth is that most people simply use the wrong approaches when it comes to how to improve pullups. In this video though, I’ll show you what research indicates are the most effective steps and routines to achieving your first pull-up and then how to increase pullups into the double digits in the fastest way possible.
The first thing you need to do to increase reps on pullups is focus on strengthening the prime movers involved. The first exercise will be the scapular pull-ups, which targets the lower traps. For this, simply hang from a bar, relax your shoulders down and away from your ears, and then pull your body up without allowing your elbows to bend with a slight pause at the top. Next will be the kneeling lat pulldown, which primarily strengthens the lats and the core, as well as the biceps. Theoretically, this exercise provides the best strength transference to your pull-up given the similarly of both movements in terms of muscle activation patterns and is therefore essential that we include it here.
Next, we’re going to use the inverted row to further increase pullup strength by strengthening the pulling strength of your lats, core, and arms but to also emphasize the mid-traps a little more. For this, simply hang from a bar with your legs extended on the ground and pull up until your chest just about reaches the bar. Then, you’ll want to progress this overtime by simply lowering the bar and/or elevating your feet to get your body more horizontal.
To really improve pullups, we want to get some actual pull-up training in to neurologically get better at the movement itself. If you’re unable to do a pull-up or just can’t do very many, you’ll have to first use alternative exercises to accomplish this. And the first exercise we’ll use for this purpose is the banded pull-up, which I’d highly recommend incorporating since it’s the closest exercise to the pull-up itself. The second exercise will be the negative pull-ups. These help with strengthening the eccentric portion of the pull-up and to also just get you more comfortable with feeling what it’s like to control your bodyweight against gravity. You’ll want to try to work up to a 30 second descent, which will translate to huge strength gains in your actual pullups.
To sum it all up for you, here’s the overall action plan designed to take you to your first pull-up, then to your first 10-12 pull-ups, and then to your first weighted pull-up and beyond:
Step 1: Getting to 10-12 Pull-Ups Straight
Perform & Progress The Following 2x/week:
Scapular Pull-Ups: 3 sets of 10-15 reps
Banded Pull-Ups: 3 sets of 6-12 reps
Kneeling Lat Pulldowns: 3 sets of 10-15 reps
Inverted Row: 3 sets of 8-12 reps (LOWER ANGLE OVERTIME)
Pull-Up Negatives: 2-3 sets (WORK UP TO 30S DESCENT)
*Add 2 “max pull-up” sets to the beginning of these workouts and also to 1-2 of your other weights workouts during the week
Step 2: Progression
Perform weighted pull-ups 2x/week (on one day, use a pull-up variation) for 3-4 sets of 6-10 reps.
Start with 2.5-5lbs additional weight, then continue adding 2.5-5lbs more once you can successfully complete 3-4 sets of 10 reps with previous weight.
Take a pull-ups “deload” or “easy” week after every 4 weeks.
Hopefully you can see that by applying the right science and the proper steps into your weekly routine, you’ll be able to experience significantly faster results when it comes to how to increase pullups. And for a step-by-step science-based program that builds these protocols and exercises into your weekly plan for you and shows how to properly progress them overtime such that you can break through plateaus and pack on size and strength in the most effective way possible, then take the analysis quiz below to discover which approach is best for your body:

For the 3 or something people seeing this, do not give up man, I have been working for an year on doing just one pull up and today I finally did my first 10 pull ups. I started out with barely being able to do 5 push ups and made my way up to doing the 100 push ups a day back in summer of 2020. I did try doing pull ups. After about 5 months I went out with a friend that was able to do 5-10 pull ups and when I tried i couldn't even come close to doing 1 rep. I began working hard and I really wanted to be as good as that friend. 3 months before my first pull up I wanted to prove to my dad that I'm serious and I can achive a goal. I bought a resistance band (35kg) and i could barely do 3 reps with it. After a couple of week of doing pull ups with the resistance band I just grabbed a bar and did a pull up with no problem. But I wasn't able to do more than one. I continued to work and after a couple more weeks of doing abs work out, push ups and pull ups (with resistance band) I was able to do 2 pull ups (doing them for normal reps, even tho my record was 5 and I couldn't do more than it.) After doing 2 reps of 10 sets every day for like 3-4 days I was able to do 3 reps of 10 sets and after 4-5 days ofthat I'm able to do 5 reps of 10 sets. Today I finally achived my goal of 10 pull ups (the other goal is a muscle up, but that would be a lot harder) So don't give up. Trust me. You got this.

The scapular training really made the difference. After 12 sessions, I am able now to do 3 series of 10 pull ups (3/4 descent), and I've validated 3 series of 7 pull ups (full movement). I'm planning to get to 3 x 10 (full move) in about 2 or 3 weeks. So, this is definitively a video to watch and a method to apply.

today i did 9 pull ups , i will start weighted pull ups when i reach 13 clean perfect pull ups this program is really working , 2 weeks ago i was doing 5 reps

[@tingest999]

I came here to say thanks and add onto the testimonials here that the workout regime you provided really helped!! I started this regime in May/June doing it once a week. In between the week I just tried to do eccentric/banded pull ups whenever I walked pass a pull up bar. I also do F45 4-5 times a week but mainly cardio. It is now end September and I just achieved my first pull up!!! I’m beyond elated and would like to thank you and your tips and regime so much!!!!!

Excellent video! Really appreciate the science behind each progression. I’m 49 and after years of bad habits, finally got myself down to a healthy body weigh through diet and exercise. But I’ve always struggled with pull ups. I’m going to try your progressive training plan to work my way up my first pull up. I believe I can do it!

[@WorkoutUnionPT]

Pull Ups are for sure the ones that helped me get my back muscle development and strength as for you! Great exercise for a bodyweight training!

[@nellybobadams]

I've just done this program down the gym today as I really need to up my pull up game. Can only do 2 strict pull ups at the moment. I have to say this is the most accessible and enjoyable program I've come across. I previously tried an app where it was just loads of sets of negative pull ups which got very tedious and exhausting. In contrast I am positive about your workout being effective and, most importantly, motivational. Thanks for sharing this content!

I love this answer because this is more realistic. If people think they’re gonna get from 0-10 in weeks or couple months. Not likely.

@@Heathx15 If you implement a solid back workout it's possible within a couple months

[@Heathx15]

Damiel Gårsted sure but it depends on where you’re at already too. If you can already do 3-4- even 5, then I wasn’t talking bout those people. I’m talking about people who legitimately can’t do any or maybe 1.

Yes ! That’s it. My arms are fairly strong and I am quite lean so I was pretty shocked when I found out I couldn’t do more than just 5 or 6 pull ups. It was my traps that were underdeveloped not allowing me to complete the first part of the pull-up. Great video

@@AntiPWN69 A year ago, I couldn't do one. Now I can do 12, in my first set. What I did was, it's not really good advice, but I just kept trying. Many a time spent hanging from the bar just trying to get 1 rep. Just kept trying. Didn't care if people thought I looked daft either. Now I can touch my chest to the bar on every rep I do, without straining my neck over the bar.
