I come by way of Waterbury’s recent pullup article. I would use his method for increasing my pullups, but I can only rep 6+ on my chinups for 1 set and I really want to increase my pronated/neutral grip pullups.
Does anyone here know of any programs that might help me increase my reps, seeing that I’m starting out with such a small max (pronated grip 4 and neutral grip 5)? My goal was to get 10 in 2010, but I’m seriously lagging.
I checked out some of the programs cited in this thread - the military one was kinda intense, and i’m not sure i fully understand selkow’s (http://www.elitefts.com/documents/pull-ups1.htm) - i’ll read it again later.
My training has been switched up recently, but I increased my reps doing 10x2 (as per PB Andy’s rec), should I just keep using this method and up it to 10x3?
Also are there any adverse effects of me switching grips b/w pro/sup and neutral? i.e. slow down progress towards 10max goal. Ideally, i’d like to train all three in 1 week.
Any advice greatly appreciated.[/quote]
Try Ladders- you’ll get 10 reps in six weeks tops. Sets go 1,2,3, 1,2,3, etc when you can get 5 series add weight or up to 1,3,5
