Whether you're aiming to dominate your next CrossFit WOD or simply want to rock a sexier physique, getting strong, consistent strict pull-ups is a game-changer. Let's break it down step-by-step, so you can go from zero to hero and build that strong, stunning back you've been dreaming of!
First things first, let’s see where you're at. If you can't do a pull-up yet, no worries. We all start somewhere, and today, we're starting at the beginning.
Before you start cranking out pull-ups, you need to build the foundation.
Scapular Pulls:
Dead Hangs:
It's time to start moving! Assisted pull-ups will help you build the necessary strength.
Band-Assisted Pull-Ups:
Negative Pull-Ups:
A strong pull-up requires a strong back, shoulders, and core. Integrate these exercises into your routine to build that support.
Dumbbell Rows:
Lat Pulldowns:
Hollow Holds:
After a few weeks of consistent training, it’s time to test your progress. Attempt a strict pull-up and see how close you are. If you’re not there yet, keep working through the steps, increasing the intensity and reducing assistance as you get stronger.
Building to your first strict pull-up is more than just a fitness goal. It’s a testament to your hard work, dedication, and sheer willpower. Plus, it’ll give you a killer back, boost your performance in CrossFit workouts, and enhance your overall pulling strength for other lifts.
So, what are you waiting for? Grab that bar, and let’s get to work! You’re on your way to becoming a pull-up powerhouse.
