yeah I'm working on pull ups alot now we had the pull up bar at the fair today so every bout 20 minutes i'd do a max set of pull ups then a max set of push ups

[Eldridge0311]

Pyramid sets of pullups is good to do. do like set of 5

so 1, then stop for a second
then 2, stop
then 3
then 4
then 5
then 4
and so on... i do up to 10 but it helps alot man. do like 3 sets a day but only like 3 times a week. dont want to over do it

[Cressler]

[IceCold2410]

My RS does the pyramid for almost every function. We go up to 5 pull ups and in between each set we do numerous push ups...

I'm seeing too many posts that are not following my proper grammar rule and it irritates me to the max. Read our rules now and heed them and you had better start now. I suggest that you Poolee's start policing your forum to make sure that I don't get further irritated.

[Cressler]

Ya I work out 6 days a week. Mon-Sat.

On Monday Wednesday and Friday I do sets up pushups situps and Pullups.
While on Tues, Thurs, and Saturday I Bench, Flys, Dumbell press ( for chest ) Bicep curls, Hammer Curls, and Negative curls ( for biceps ), Skull crushers Dips, and French press ( for triceps ). Then I do my Pyramid sets of Pullups 3 sets up to 10 and down.

I mean I have worked out since Sophmore in Highschool, so if you haven't been working out for a while and your muscles arn't use to it; don't go all out give it time.

Yeah I have been working out since sophomore year too because I played football. Now I wake up at 5 every morning and go to the YMCA with my recruiter and he usually kills my upper body. But thanks, I was just wondering what you did because I would like to get to 20 pull ups before I ship off.
