Ive somehow managed to be doing this routine for about 2 years now. Heard that the Governator said try to do 50 in as few sets as possible and turned it into 100 (used to do 150). At first I could only do a couple, now im upto 19 my first set... it has changed my entire body, pullups give you batman body armor-no joke! but i think its important to note that intensity plays a huge role... YOU MUST PULL OUT EVER LAST REP YOU CAN MUSTER! stop early to end the suffering and gain NOTHING

@isjonathan hey do you do only one phase per workout? and then if you feel ready you move onto the next phase next workoutt?

[omegotrd]

Do you have any similar stuff for chest workout?

[invinciblestick]

I have 2 Questions

1.How many workouts is it required to master each phase??

2. What about other body parts? If I am aiming to do Density training too for my other muscles, should I do them on separate days? or Can I do them on the same day of the Pullup workout?

Thanks in advance for anyone's kindness to answer me

@tkforeverer the important thing is that you just DO them. If you're not at twenty in your first set then you don't need to be over thinking this. Just do 4 or 5 max sets until you can't do no more then do it all over again later in the week.

@ikilleriify Nah, not too much that's good shit. You up to twenty yet?

[Erniel1812l]

Meh, it's not this complicated. Just do four max sets with intensity. If you're a beginner you should try to do them as often as possible. After you can knock out 12-15 in your first set then you may want to back it down to twice a week just like the guy said. isjonathan is right- after you get good at them try to do 50 in a few sets as possible (4, 5, 6 whatever) . Once you hit that goal in 4 sets go for 60 then 70 etc. There's no secret to getting good at pull-ups. Just DO them!

i do chin ups/ pull ups like three days a week... monday, wednesday and friday.. is that too much? i m 15 years old...

How important is the # of phases and is it locked in @ 7 ? If I wanted to target 20, could I break it out into something like below?

1-20x2, 20min | 2-13x3, 13 min | 3-10x4, 10 min | 4-8x5, 8 min | 5-7x6, 7 min | 6-5x8, 5 min | 7-4x10, 4 min | 8-3x13, 3 min | 9-1x20, 1 min
