The Pull-Ups
I choose level:
Intermediate
In this program I'm only going to do Negative Pull-ups. I will try to do regular pull-ups during the week 1-2 reps.
Maybe:But space it out, do the program with one grip for a week, then take one week off and do regular training. Then proceed to learning pull-ups with another grip variation.
And.... everytime I walk by pull-up bar, hang on it just a bit, try to do a pull-up or 2, do this all the time!

Wednesday
During the day!!!
To do 6 sets of my base number throughout the day ( not all at once like I did Tuesday). At the end of each set, I must hang on the bar using my Hang Base Number and simulate a pull-up move:
!!! At the end of each set I must try to hang and simulate a pull-up move at least 8-10 reps, just hang and rise up just a bit. I can do this move every day, this move really helps me to overcome the ”I can’t do this” thing.
