Pullup progressions
« on: July 29, 2010, 05:01:36 PM »
so I have been training for 2 years now and i work on doing pullups three times a week. I can only do three and have only ever been able to do three, The three are now far easier than when i started however i just seem to run out of gas afterwards. im begining to wonder if its a mental block, anyway i can overcome this? i can overcome fears and stuff its just....blah

What is the typical workout structure for a week?

Height? Weight?

How much do you lift in your other exercises?

okay lemme rephrase that, strength as in upper body and endurance as in lower body.

You squat 310?  That seems really high compared to the rest of your numbers.

For most of my clients, I use resistance bands (the powerlifting kind) to assist with pull-ups.  I find it more effective than negatives..  But there needs to be some kind of progressive overload to increase your pull-up endurance.

I think he means, hanging a resistance band from the pull up bar, putting your foot in it, and using it as a spotter in a way

Maybe you could try doing something like four sets of one pullup, or two sets of two pulls, while taking 2 - 5 minute breaks between. Or, you know, something similar so at least your net total of pulls increase.

Sounds like you just need to build more general upper body strength
Bench press, press, deadlift
Not only will those exercises make you stronger, but they will increase your grip strength as well, which is an important part of pull ups/chins
You can also work negatives or assisted pull ups like others have already mentioned
