@thegravgear: Faster pull-ups mean better gains. Simple as that. A recent study split 29 fit guys into two groups. One group kept a steady pace on their pull-ups. The other went slower, more controlled. After 8 weeks, the difference was obvious. The faster group? They got stronger. Estimated 1RM went up. They gained explosive power too, with higher mean and peak MPV when lifting their body weight. And endurance? They could pull more reps until failure. The slow group? Almost no change. Turns out, the old advice to go slow and controlled might not always be right—at least not for pull-ups. Speed seems to give you the edge. But remember, speed only helps if you keep your form clean. Don’t sacrifice quality for pace. So next time you’re hanging from the bar, maybe it’s time to move a little quicker. Your gains might depend on it.
