I hate to say it…all of the pull-up advice on this sub is 100% correct

[ashleye23]

You have to do negatives and dead hangs. You have to do pull ups consistently, throughout the day if possible. If you keep at it, and increase the number of negatives/length of dead hangs, you’ll make progress.

Three weeks ago I bit the bullet after reading my 30th comment on here about achieving a pull up and bought a pull up bar for my apartment.

I started doing negatives every day and boom! Today I got my first pull up. Literally out of the blue.

I’m shocked, happy, and kind of kicking myself that I didn’t listen to the advice on here sooner. Y’all are right!! I was wrong!!

@ashleye23 Unassisted pullups have helped me get to 10 full range pullups. Going 3-4x a week. That and when am shot doing assisted ones. It’s tough though because they use practically all upper and core so I am basically shot at the end of my workout. I wanna get to 20 by the end of the month.

@ashleye23 What pullup bar did you buy for apartment?

@dawn16 Buy the kind that hangs off the doorway. All you do is set the bar on the door frame. No nails or screws required.
