I've noticed that a lot of people are having a hard time progressing on bodyweight pull-ups, (this is only if your goal is to eventually add weight with progressive overload) so I wanted to talk about that. For some people just starting out, this is normal, but also for a lot of people who have been stuck at "10 pull-ups" for weeks. Now, if you still can't do 8 pull-ups in a row with good form, then the simple advice is to add negative pull-ups (3-4 sets) and some band pull-ups (1-2) sets, both with 3-4 minutes rest in between, that should help you get to those 8 pull-ups. But if you're stuck at, say, 10 pull-ups for a while and you're not seeing any improvement. Then here's what you should do. It's very simple. Just do 3-4 sets of bodyweight pull-ups while maxing out each set and resting 5-6 minutes between sets. This is crucial. Do this every 3 days (no more, or you will overtrain and not progress) and your only goal should be to do more reps than you did in your last workout. This means that you will write down or track after each workout so that you know exactly what your goal is for the next workout. That's it bro. Of course, there are some nuances and this is just a small part of how one can increase their reps on pull-ups, but for people with this specific problem, it will be perfect. None of that 3x8 or 3x10 nonsense, that doesn't make any sense. Good luck bro, John
