]]> Considering that this movement requires you to support your whole body weight, it comes as no surprise that pull-ups are one of the most challenging exercises there are. Still, this is a workout that even a beginner can master with the right approach. Here are some effective tips to help you master pull-ups.

Practice the Movement

The first step is to acquaint yourself with the movement of the exercise. Many gyms offer pull-up machines that provide you with support and lighten your load as you pull up. This will help you adjust to this new exercise.

Practice Makes Perfect

While you may want to perform many reps in a high-intensity workout, start out by simply trying to perform one proper pull-up successfully. From there, you can build your reps and sets.

Strengthen Your Back Muscles

Another way to better prepare yourself for pull-ups is by strengthening and conditioning your back muscles using other routines. Consider doing back workouts such as rowing and lat pull-downs.

]]> The pull-up is a major fitness benchmark for many people, especially for women, who often have to work much harder in order to be able to do one. If you can do a pull-up as a woman, you can feel really proud of yourself, which is plenty of reason to work toward being able to execute one for the first time. Regardless of your gender, to help you get there, here are some steps you can take.

First, you’ll want to work on bent-over dumbbell rows to improve your back’s pulling strength. This will help you bridge the gap until you’re able to move on to inverted bodyweight rows, a way to start working on pulling the weight of your own body.

Once you can comfortably execute three sets of eight reps of inverted bodyweight rows, you can move on to assisted pull-ups of which there are several varieties, including assisted pull-up machine pull-ups, band-assisted pull-ups, and chair or box-assisted pull-ups.

Concurrently, you should also work on pull-up negatives, where you jump up into the top of a pull-up position and slowly lower yourself down, and pull-ups holds, where you simply hold at the top of a pull-up position for ten seconds or as long as you can.

As you train, progressively lower the amount of assistance you are using and increase the number of negatives and the length of the holds that you do until you are ready to do your first pull-up. Congratulations!

]]> For many people, doing a pull-up is a big challenge that can serve as something of a milestone to hit along your fitness journey. While it is an incredible and exciting feat to complete, it also can take a lot more training to work up to a pull-up than something like push-ups or running a mile. So to help you get your first pull-up, here are some tips.

Assisted Pull-Up Machine

If you belong to a gym, you probably have access to something called an assisted pull-up machine which works by using weight to counterbalance your body weight and essentially make you lighter so that it’s easier to pull yourself up. This is a great way to work up to doing a pull-up because you’ll be training the right body mechanics but with a lighter load, and you can increasingly make it harder and harder until you can eventually do one with no assistance at all.

Negatives

If you don’t have access to any gyms or equipment, negatives will be your best bet for training pull-ups. Basically, you jump or climb up to be hanging with your chin above the bar and slowly let yourself down to a free hang.
