Hi all, first time poster here
I'm looking to increase my pull up strength as fast as possible to work towards the one arm pull up as a long term goal. Currently I have a 1RM of +50% of my bodyweight, I use rings for pull ups.
I was using reverse pyramid training so far but I think I would benefit from a more specific approach of say... 3x3-5 or something? I was going to scale back my weight to like +25% and start with 3x5 and try add 2.5KG whenever I can whilst keeping with the reps/sets as best I can.
Is this the optimal way to get strong at pull ups? Or do I need higher reps sometimes? I plan on training it every 2 days in comparison to every 4 like I did before.
My last question is do I need to periodise it? Or can I just stick with 3x3-5? Is it enough volume?
Sorry hope I was clear.
