Can’t progress pull ups - need some help with strategizing

[dollfaceme23]

@iamtheman Special ops - funnily enough, idk if this is normal but all my scores (push ups, sit ups, run and ruck) are all at standard or higher but my pull ups are at zero still lmao

@dollfaceme23 No offense, but how is the standard for special ops only 5 pull ups? What are the other requirements? I assume things that are a little more difficult...I hope?

 

[dollfaceme23]

@minh The minimum for special ops is 5 - the others are 49 push-ups (I can do 77 max) 59 sit ups (82 max) and 14:52 2 mile run (I can do it in 12:00-12:30 consistently - my goal is to get minimum by boot camp so when I’m in boot camp i have time to get them above regular standards

@iamtheman Marines only need to be able to do 5 pull-ups? Wtf?? That's not really much of a challenge.

 

[iamtheman]

@minh It's a little more. Around 7 for passing. Keep in mind that's just PASSING. In order to get a higher "grade" you'll need to do more.

@jscivias ugh the ads and pics on that site are terrifying

@rsdar Yeah, sorry. Okay. He does step-off a chair and do a slow-drop negative. Once it is taking you like 20 seconds to get to extension, then you can do jump-up ones and then lower.

And then you can hopefully do a full!
