@theshocktroop: 7 Tips to Increase Your Pull-Ups 👇 1. Stop maxing out every workout. Always training to failure creates fatigue and can slow progress. Most sets should end with 1–2 good reps left in the tank. 2. Practice pull-ups more frequently. Train them 2–3 times per week. Pull-ups are a skill, the more consistently you practice proper repetitions, the more efficient you become. 3. Use assisted pull-ups. Use a resistance band or assisted pull-up machine to build strength through the full range of motion. Choose enough assistance to complete 5–10 controlled reps. 4. Add slow negative repetitions. Step or jump to the top, then lower yourself for 3–5 seconds. Negatives build the strength needed to complete full pull-ups. 5. Strengthen your back, arms, and grip Include exercises such as: Lat pulldowns, Rows Dead hangs, Hammer curls and Scapular pull-ups. 6. Improve your technique. Start from a controlled dead hang, tighten your core, pull your shoulders down, and drive your elbows toward your ribs. Avoid swinging or kicking unless you’re intentionally practicing kipping pull-ups. 7. Track your total weekly repetitions. Don’t measure progress only by your maximum set. Record every assisted, negative, and unassisted repetition, then gradually increase your weekly total. More productive training volume generally supports greater strength development.
