Could only achieve 4 in a row banded pull-ups, but I’ll keep trying!

Hold a resistance band, belt, broomstick of dressing gown belt at a distance that is comfortable for you (to start with a good wide grip).

Slowly and in a controlled manner raise your arms up and extend over your head to eventually stop behind you.

Return to the front and repeat.

Warm Up Circuit

Wrap a resistance band around the bar (thinner bands offer less assistance and wider bands offer more assistance).

Place one or both feet in the band and hang on a bar with a pronated grip slightly wider than shoulder width (hands wrap over the bar with fingers away from you).

Look towards your hands and focus on pulling your chest towards the bar.

At the top hold for 1 seconds and then in a controlled manner release your bodyweight down to the fully extended arm position.

Repeat the for the specified reps.

Banded Pull Ups

Lie on your stomach on the floor and stretch your arms in front of you in a Y position. 

Raise your chest several inches off the floor and draw your elbows back towards each other so your arms are in a W position.

Return to the Y position and lower your chest to the ground.

Repeat for the specified number of reps.

Note: To make this harder keep your feet off the ground too.

Hang on a bar with a pronated grip slightly wider than shoulder width (hands wrap over the bar with fingers away from you).

Hold your bodyweight on the bar and pull your shoulders away from your ears to engage your lats (think about pulling your shoulder blades together).

Hold this for 1 second and then return to the passive hang.

Repeat this for the specified number of reps.

Scapula Pull Ups

Lay with your knees bent at 90 degrees and feet off of the floor.

Reach your fingers toward the ceiling.

Glue your lower back to the floor.
 
From this position, reach opposite hand, and opposite foot our as far as you can without losing lower back contact to the floor, exhaling as you reach.

Return to the starting position and repeat on the opposite side.

Deadbug

When I hit the timer it starts direct. Instead I’d like to have like 5 seconds to get in position before I start the movement.

That was fantastic. I’m looking forward to finally getting my chin up! 💥

Great start of the program, I’ve been trying to do pull ups for months now and still struggle so I thought I would start this program combined with the intermediate body weight program to finally achieve my goal 💪🏻

This is great! Can you add a part of how to grip the bar properly? I feel like my hand gets calloused fast and painfully and that maybe part of why I let go of the bar

Raquel

Getting stronger. Can now do two pull ups 🙌

Jasmine

W1/D3

The grip! Calluses get pulled on and hurts - any tips?

W2/D1

I’m getting there. I can now do 5 chin ups.

W2/D2

Wow this plan is really helping me get so much closer to a pull up than I have ever gotten!
