What's up, Achievers?!

This episode was prompted by one of our IG followers who asked us how they should train for pull-ups. From form to mindset to programming to technique, we've got you covered!

As for the program, here it is written down:

1) Use a band you can perform 8 reps with. We like Perform Better superbands. We recommend getting a 1 3/4in, 1 1/8in, 3/4in, 1/2in if possible! Add in a 1in and 1/4in if you really want the full set!

2) Use the band you can get 8 reps with, but start at 5 reps.

Week 1: 3 sets of 5Week 2: 4 sets of 5Week 3: 5 sets of 5Week 4: 3 sets of 6 (deload)Week 5: 4 sets of 6Week 6: 5 sets of 6Week 7: 3 sets of 7 (deload)Week 8: 4 sets of 7Week 9: 5 sets of 7Week 10: 3 sets of 8 (deload0Week 11: 4 sets of 8Week 12: 5 sets of 8

3) Go down a band size (from 1 3/4in to 1 1/8in for example)

Week 13: 3 sets of 5 with the new band

4) Rinse and repeat!
