Has anyone had success wih Pavels Ladder?
I’m just starting out with pullups sing the ladder. I gotta get to 20 consecutive, coz right now I’m at 14.
Also with the ladder, I do for example
1,2,3,4,5,6(set1)
1,2,3,4,5(set2)
etc
just not reaching failure. but stopping when I can only do 1.
I rest as if im training with a partner during the sets, but whats the reccomendation between sets? Same deal?
Bump!
I, too, would like to hear about peoples’ experiences with this.

I’m doing something similar right now after a buddy of mine was able to reach a point where (from doing this) he could do 35 legit pull ups.
I do 5 sets using 5 different grips.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 (x5 - different grips on each).
I’m doing it up to 6, and will increase to 7, 8, and at the highest 9. Once I can do that, I’ll maintain.
It can be done with push ups too.
I need to be able to do 20 dead hang pull ups, and can only do 17 right now.
Those extra 3 will come shortly, I hope…by doing this routine 2 times a week, separate from my “real” workouts.

I did a workout like that one. Its called pyramiding. With pavels ladder I got way more reps in total.
Today I did 3 ladders
First I did Pullups superseted with 1 leg squats. After 4 sets of squats i switched to pushups and kept the pullup superset going.
Totals at the end were
Pullups 59
1Leg Squats 24ea
Pushups+ 53
Taking it easy on the 1 leg squats as this is really a rehab for knee program.
Also taking care on the pushups due to shoulder injury. Hence the + for serratus activation.
I’ll aim to do this every 2 or 3 days for the next 2 weeks.
