pull up

I remember Dan saying that for ABC a good start would be alternating 2x and 1x per week with another program alternating the opposite (I hope that makes sense). I’m wondering how to add in pressing volume and pull-ups without over taxing myself. (Like a different training on my “off days” not...

I'm in the military and we typically only get 8 hours dedicated to sleep. But it obviously takes a little time to fall asleep and you need to wake up a little earlier so that you can shave, brush your teeth, and make it to PT 15 minutes early. So you're getting about 6 1/2 to 7 hours of sleep a...

I have a question regarding protocol #6. I'm wanting to work on pullup endurance but when I go to calculate my session volume, it says to not go over 50 reps for the day. The calculation for session volume is RMx5 so my daily volume would be over 50 reps. Any clarification on this would be...

I'm at intermediate level (already can do muscle ups, pistol squats,...) and I'm using strict (only slight heel touch) deep step up as my primary "heavy" leg movement (like pull ups for back). I prefer them to pistol squats since I can hardly get close to muscular failure with pistol squats...

Hi, I've got about three months before heading to Officer Candidate School. I'm currently at 23 pull-ups and 18:30 3-mile run. I'm looking for guidance on 1) how to maintain these pull-up numbers and 2) build overall strength. I'm currently running 3x per week (easy short, medium long, hard...

I'm doing S&S. Pavel mentions hanging being good in his book. I've been thinking about buying one and I guess others have gone through the process. Seems there is a lot of options out there. I'm a bit space limited. I don't have much wall space but I do have a door going into my man cave which...

Good evening everyone! I'm not on here much but I found some old programs I wrote so I figured that I would share. The push-up plans were inspired by the original fighter pull-up program but after testing out this stuff with dozens of people, the numbers had to be modified. This was especially...

Hi, has anyone tried this Pull-up Training Guide? https://www.marines.mil/Portals/1/Docs/PullupTrainingGuide.pdf It's stands for 3-5 training days per week (more is better according to the author), and practice Pull-up 3-5 times a day. Depending on current RM we have three protocols to chose...

I'm trying to increase my reps on pull-ups (I'm already at 20) and I'm wondering if increasing my 1RM will help or if it's more interesting to just do sets of many reps. I do 3 workouts a week: 1 where I do drop sets (x reps with x kilo follow directly with x bodyweight reps) which is counted as...

Hello StrongFirst Community ! Short introduction: I started kettlebelling last year and reached Simple last week. I am quite happy with that but I am also happy that I can continue with something different aswell. After internalizing Dan Johns phrase “Sitting on a whale, fishing for minnows”...

Hello, Looking for some assistance structuring a program. I’m a LEO/SWAT operator with variable work schedule. I train BJJ 2-3 times per week. Looking to add strength training to my schedule. Issues I have is that some weeks I have access to a gym several times per week and other weeks I’m...

Howdy! So I think I've identified that my back does not seem to respond to high-volume work. I'm 15 years old for the 25th time, doing S&S + some calisthenics on top of kung fu/MMA. I was inspired by a post which involved what the commenter called 'Easy Strength Lite' (which I cannot find...

Hi there folks, Has anyone felt list their arm is going numb (my left) when running...and this numbness is tied to pull-ups I have been doing...arm numbness starts at about elbow crease and tends to tingle fingers below...After running with extended arm, blow flow comes in and all is...

Hello, so I know this totally goes against the principles of this site but has anyone tried the Armstrong program or what do you think? (especially about recovery) and this program which also requires going to failure without days of rest Pullup Push - Double Your Pullups in Two Weeks! (FREE) -...

Hello I am new to the world of pyramids, ladder. I think I will do the ladders because they look better to me and I can go higher and do another one afterwards and I will have more volume than with a pyramid. Example: 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 9 + 10 + 9 + 8 + 7 + 6 + 5 + 4 + 3 + 2 + 1 =...

I ask myself a little question about my progress in pull-ups. It took me 3 months and 10 days to go from 18 to 20. But only 4 weeks to go from 10 to 14 in weight (10kg). I used a lot of GtG, FFP. Despite that I gained considerable ease on the 2 types of pull-ups (BW and weighted). Maybe...

Has anyone done this pulling program before? If yes has it worked for you? https://www.marines.mil/Portals/1/Docs/PullupTrainingGuide.pdf

Hi Everyone, Firstly, I just want to thank everyone who has contributed to this forum, it's been such a valuable resource for me whilst I've been training and I really value all of the information that has been broadcasted. I'm currently training towards what I imagine is a rather common goal...

My doorway pullup bar is not high enough for me to perform a pullup according to SFB standards -- my knees need to bend. Are there any recommendations on how to use such a bar? I know that doing it right would be best, but my simple mind thinks that there is a way to use this bar that is better...

Hello all! I was directed to try the fighter pull up program and have been seeing some good results. I started at 5RM. However I have a question. (Btw, I am 25f and training for the USMC PFT. ) Q1) my form would vary often, sometimes with the final rep of the first set to be questionable. As you...
