Pullups are the universal test of relative strength yet most dudes can't even do 1.

You heard me correctly.

Go to your local Walmart and see for yourself. Can any other customer do a pullup?

(Don't miss our upcoming Cyber Week sale!)

Well, you are going to learn how to do 10.

Pullups are a test of relative strength which means you will have to get both lighter and stronger.

The easiest way to do more pullups is to lose fat.

10-12% body fat is the sweetspot of leanness and strength.

Losing fat is the most important thing you can do before cranking out multiple pullups.

Can't do one pullup?

No worries.

There are many exercises you can do such as:

Just get stronger at vertical pulling movements.

You can also do variations of rows as they work the same muscles.

Get as strong as you can on these movements until you can do 5 reps on the pullup bar.

Then, we will make things a little more challenging.

For your pullup workout, we will do cluster sets to help you get to 10 reps.

Say you can do 5 pullups, then do this:

10 sets of 3 reps with as minimal rest possible.

Next session, go for 10 sets of 4 reps.

Cluster sets will enable you to get in a ton of stimulus, volume, and work close to your rep-max in a state of slight fatigue.

Cluster sets will force your body to get strong quickly.

They will also help you adapt to higher rep ranges.

Continue to lose fat by eating at a calorie deficit and getting stronger at all pulling movements.

Make sure to train your core, biceps and forearms to help stabilize your body throughout the movement.

Exercises such as:

Will all help you get stronger at holding the hanging position.

Curls, farmers walks, and other rowing movements will help improve your grip.

You also need to make each successive workout more challenging to ensure progressive overload.

Don't be afraid to use straps if grip is your limiting factor.

Make your lats, biceps and core as strong as possible while you focus on improving your grip through other exercises.

Let's get it!
