Add that fourth day if you ready breh,I used to do it 5 times a week,resting on the weekends.

Pull-ups become easier with time. Do what you can breh,anything is better than nothing.

For those struggling with pullups, add rack chins to your routine.


I usually do 2-3 sets of these right after my pullup session. Within the last 6 weeks I went from doing 3 sets of pullups at 6 reps, 4 reps, 3 reps to doing 4 sets of pullups at 10 reps, 6 reps, 6 reps, 4 reps.

I will add that within those 6 weeks i've dropped from about 253 lbs to around 245 so that probably had some effect on my ability to do more pullups, but I'm pretty sure the Rack Chins helped a lot too.
