Pull-Up Improvement Program
Modern Athlete Strength
TacticalNobody out of shape is good at pull-ups. It is one of the more challenging movements to master. Often, coaches just say "do more pull-ups" without taking a princple-based approach to making their athlete more efficient.
Through this program, we aim to improve your pull-ups through a bias towards bicep and lat development, and a secondary effort towards the deltoids, rhomboids, and trunk.
Here's what the breakdown looks like for training: Week 1 Focus: Eccentric (Negatives) Focus Week 2 Focus: Strict Pull-Up Development Week 3 Focus: Strict Pull-Up + Pause Sets Week 4 Focus: Accommodating Resistance Consistent Throughout: Lat, Bicep, Delt, Rhomboids, Trunk development + Work Capacity/Muscular Endurance
This program is intended to accompany your current strength training program and is designed for those specifically wanting to improve their max pull-up number.
