The pull-up article by Nate Green reminded me about this. Here’s what my progress looked like:
Week 1 6 pullups a training day; 1 set
Week 2 7 pullups a training day; 1 set
Week 3 8 pullups a training day; 1 set
Week 4 8,6,10,6 (if I remember correctly)
So, to start with I was at BWX6,5,5 for a PR. that’s 16 reps for the total week’s volume.
At the end, I had a new PR of BWX10 and a new volume PR of 32 at 8 reps a set.
For one month, I think that’s pretty good.
What I learned, and what I think can help you:
If you’re doing weighted pull-ups for sets of 3-5 all the time and with a 1X a week/microcycle frequency, swap things up to sets of BW reps each session. Start at a difficult but doable number, and add 1-2 reps to each set every week. It worked for me, and I’m willing to bet it’ll work for others as well.
