The Road to Your First Pull-Up

from The Strength Log · host Daniel Richter & Philip Wildenstam

Getting your first pull-up or chin-up is a major milestone for most people who train. But how do you go about it effectively and quickly? In today's episode, we present a plan that's been proven to work time and time again, no matter if you're a woman or a man, light or heavy. We break down the exercises that will take you towards your first pull-up, and explain why lat pulldowns and rows aren't as useful as a lot of people claim on the road to your first pull-up. *** Do you like what you hear so far?
