How to get that first pull-up?

[tbull]

Do you guys have any tips/suggestions/workouts regarding achieving that first pull-up?

Bought a pull-up bar a few months back. Decided to do:

• Dead hangs
• Inverted rows
• Resistance band exercises

However, I stopped working on my back for a while and now have 0 progress ):

Any suggestions for beginners like me? Thanks!

@tbull Rows, band-assisted, negatives. I recommend doing chinups first tho.

@christianbrother248 Thanks so much! Why do you recommend doing chinups first? Are they relatively easier lol/targets basic muscle groups?

 

[christianbrother248]

@tbull They target similar nuscle groups but chinups recruit the biceps more than pullups so most people find that eaeier.

@tbull I just did negatives throughout the day like every hour until i finally did one. Took me less than a week i guess
