This Video Will Show You How to Do More Than One Smelly Pull-Up.
Pull-ups are great exercises for building upper body strength, but they are also very difficult to do if you are not already used to doing them. If you can’t do more than one pull-up already, this video will show you how to do it.
The video from The Art of Manliness gives you a simple routine to follow. If you are unable to complete any full pull-ups, the video suggests starting in a raised position and slowly lowering, doing a “reverse pull-up”. After you’ve managed to do one pull-up , the video suggests the following procedure over time to increase the number of reps:
- Week 1: Twice a week, do 12 sets of 1 pull-ups with a 45 second break between sets.
- Week 2: Twice a week, do 6 sets of 2 pull-ups with a 45 second break between sets.
- Week 3: Twice a week, do 4 sets of 4 pull-ups with a 45 second break between sets.
- Week 4: Twice a week, do 3 sets of 6 pull-ups with a 45 second break between sets.
- Week 5: Twice a week, do 5 sets of 10 pull-ups with a 45 second break between sets.
If you feel like you can’t handle the pull-ups at any point during this exercise, turn it back and start with an easier step. Over time, this should help you develop upper body strength and make it easier to do more pull-ups.
