Everyone is always asking how do I do more pull-ups?

I always laugh because it isnt really a secret, the Army has had the answer for years.

When I attended the United States Army Airborne School in 1993 one of the requirements is that you needed to complete at least five pull-ups. Back then my my max in pull-ups was about eight so I had no problem doing the minimum. When I left Jump School I could Max out at 20 pull-ups after only three weeks!!

To improve your pull-ups you need to do pull-ups three times a day every day. You cant expect to go to the gym three times a week and improve on your pull-ups. The way the army had it set up is that in front of every mess hall there are pull up bars. Before you go eat you need to perform three to five pull-ups at least. Breakfast, lunch and dinner I would do one set of 5-8 pull-ups everyday.

At the end of three weeks I was able to max out at 20 pull-ups!! You can incorporate this training into your life style be either making a pull-up bar in your back yard or mounting one at your work place. Pull-ups are one of the best exercises because it gives you functional strength and flexibility.
