How To Get Your First Pull Up

Jenni takes you through how to get your first pull up!

I remember how frustrating getting my first pull up was. There were times just spent looking up at the bar wondering why I simply wasn’t moving; it didn’t feel like I could use any muscles at all – and I was just getting stuck.

The best way I found to final get my chin over the bar was a combination of similar, but easier movements, combined with variations which took away a lot of my bodyweight.

In the video, I take you through my 4 favourite progression exercises:

Australian Pull Ups
Low Bar Pull Ups
Negative Pull Ups
Banded Pull Ups

To fully get the benefits of these movements, I would recommend splitting them up into at least 2 sessions per week, ideally 4 sessions and do each of these twice:

Session 1:
3x 10 Australian Pull Up
5x 3 Negative Pull Up

Session 2:
5x 5 Low Bar Pull Up
5x 5 Banded Pull Up

Adjusting the assistance of each exercise so that you can complete all the reps.

So, your aim over time isn’t necessarily to increase the reps or sets that you do, but instead to improve the movement itself. Getting more horizontal on the Australian Pull up, going slower on your Negative, using less assistance from your feet on the Low Bar pull up, and using a thinner band on your Banded Pull Up.

Consistency is key with pull up work. If you consistently go through these sessions at least once per week, you will see significant progress quite quickly.

Let me know how you get on, remember, I’ve been where you are now! And if you have any questions don’t hesitate to ask!
