If a major goal of yours is to get more pull-ups...or get your FIRST pull-up, you're likely performing exercises that you think will help.

And it's also likely these exercises are NOT helping!

Here are 4 common ones...

Exercise 1 - Lat Pull-Downs: This exercise does work the same muscles but in a completely different way than the pull-up.

Exercise 2 - Band Assisted Pull-Ups: This one is better but the band provides the assistance at the wrong time...you actually need more help at the top than the bottom (where the band provides the most assistance). It's backwards.

Exercise 3 - Machine Assisted Pull-Ups: This is similar to the band assisted pull-up, but in this exercise, your body is actually doing even less work, particularly your “abs” and glutes. The assistance is via counterbalance, which doesn't prepare you for taking up the full load of your bodyweight.

Exercise 4 – Bodyweight Rows/Australian Pull-Ups: While this is a good exercise and definitely serves a purpose, your body is traveling in a horizontal path, which is not specific enough to the pull-up.

These exercises CAN be useful...but they're not going to help you with your pull-ups very much.

 

There is a solution to your pull-up problems. My friend and colleague, Meghan Callaway, has created a beast of a pull-up program called The Ultimate Pull-Up Program.

This is a comprehensive 200+ page pull-up program that will help beginners solve problems that are holding them back from being able to perform their first pull-up.

Or if you can already perform pull-ups but want to improve your form, increase your number of reps, or perform more advanced variations, this program is also designed to help elites trainers excel.

The Ultimate Pull-Up Program has been broken into 4 phases. Each phase lasts from 4-8 weeks (though you can go at your own pace, as you need to).

Each phase includes exercises that will help you: improve your pull-up technique, upper body strength, upper body muscle tone, shoulder and scapular controlled mobility, core strength, grip strength, glute strength, and even lower body strength.

Remember, the pull-up IS a full body movement!

In her new 40 page bonus section, Meghan has added exercises that address shoulder health, elbow health, grip strength, and basic lessons on breathing and bracing.

With each exercise, you will be given a very detailed written description as well as a video. You will also be given a prescribed number of reps, sets, rest, and tempo. This program has it all!

 

Why is The Ultimate Pull-Up Program different?

Most people think of the pull-up as an upper body exercise. Due to this false belief, they ONLY train their upper body.

And when they are performing pull-ups (or are attempting to), they neglect the rest of their body.

To excel at the pull-up, your entire body must function as a synchronized unit, not in parts.

The Ultimate Pull-Up Program treats the pull-up as a full body exercise, and trains for it accordingly.

Meghan has been a strength coach for over 15 years and has mastered how to perform pull-ups herself.

Meghan has also helped many people around the world achieve the same. Beginners, intermediates, and even elites. Meghan has taken their pull-ups to a totally different level.
