Trying to get your first unassisted pull-up? 💪
If you’re working toward your first rep, build the strength and control with progressions that meet you where you are:
🔹 Inverted rows → build your pulling strength
🔹 Negative pull-ups → develop control and strength through the lowering phase
🔹 Band-assisted pull-ups → practice the full movement while gradually reducing assistance
The goal isn’t to rush to the final exercise. It’s to build the capacity to eventually own it.
Master the basics, progress the challenge, and that first pull-up will become a whole lot more achievable. 🔥
