  • Want to start doing your first set of pull ups in just 22 days? Well, if you watch this video and perform the workouts as written, you’ll be doing more pull ups in no time. This 22 day 0 to 5 workout for more pull-ups builds off of the tremendous success of our 22 day push up workout. The key to the timeline is that this workout progresses you through various exercises while demanding that you increase pull ups along the way.

    It consists of three weeks of testing and non-testing days that will quickly build up your back, grip and arms while helping you develop the strength to do your first set of pull ups. You won't be asking how to do a pull-up anymore after following these tips.
    The way these workouts are structured is by first establishing your max on an assistance exercise, the inverted row to failure in a single set. From here, you rest two minutes and attempt to perform a dead arm hang from a pull-up bar for as long as you possibly can.
    Day 1 starts with a test day. Complete a single set of max inverted rows to failure in good form. Rest 2 minutes and then complete a set of dead arm hangs for as long as you can hold. Take this max number of rows number as this will be used on subsequent non-testing days to be sure you are gauging your pullup strength progress the right way.
    On Day 2, we start a series of non-testing days. In these workouts, the goal is to perform a specific variation for the same number of reps that you did on your most recent testing day. You are allowed to rest/pause when you fatigue and you are advised to stop a few reps short of total muscle failure. This is to accommodate for the fact that you will be doing a lot of volume over the next few weeks.
    The second half of the non-test day workouts require that you go back to performing inverted rows, except this time you have to complete your maximum plus 40 percent (on the first non-test day) 50 percent (on the second non-test day) and 60 percent (on the third and final non-test day in a block). Again here, you do not have to perform these unbroken. You simply have to get them done, stopping 2-3 reps shy of failure and using rest/pause.
    The blocks continue to progress and advance with each new testing day. Be sure to re-test your maximum number at the start of each new block since you will likely be increasing your overall strength meaning that your number is going to increase. Each block is based on the number of max inverted rows that you are able to achieve on the test day that precedes that block.
    We continue in this fashion until we reach day 21 of the 22 day workout. Here, you are to complete one of two tests. Refer to the video for the specifics on how to compete the day 21 test. On day 22 we come back again only this time we’re testing our pull ups! This is where the hard work starts to pay off and you should start doing your first set of full pull ups!
    Pullups are one of the best bodyweight back exercises you can do. The thing about them is that they can be quite discouraging when you don't have the strength to perform at least one rep. It isn't helpful to keep struggling to try and do pullups at home without a plan. Now, with this 22 day pullup workout, you have a step by step progression for getting not only your first rep of pullups but to get many more after that. You won't have to ask yourself ever again how to increase pullups if you follow this workout as instructed.
    It is not uncommon for those that follow the plan laid out here to go from 0 pullups to at least 3 and even 5 in just three weeks. Give this plan your all and you will be surprised at how easy pullups will become for you.
    This 3 week workout will progressively overload your back, introduce you to exercise variations that will build not just your back, grip and biceps but help you develop that sought after v-taper look as well. If you’re looking to get make total body gains be sure to look at the ATHLEAN-X Training Systems available at athleanx.com.
    Start trading in workout length for intensity and see how much bigger and stronger you can get with intense, intelligently programmed workouts just like this.

      Hello, I started doing this, and I'm at block 2 now 🙂 Since I'm a beginner I don't know that much, but suddenly I was thinking. Do we need to do a warmup routine before doing this? And if so, which one do you advise?

    Days 9-12: Block3
    Days 13-16: Block4
    Days 17-20: Block5
    Day 21: Final test 1
    Day 22: Final test 2
    Block:
    Day 1:
    - Inverted row (max to failure). Keep the number for future tests
    - 2 minutes rest
    -Dead arm hang (Max time). Keep the time for future tests
    Day 2:
    - Chair Assisted Pull Ups: 1/2 max inverted rows from test day 1.
    - 2 minutes rest
    - Inverted Rows: Test day 1 + 40%
    Day 3:
    - Eccentric Pull Ups: 1/2 max inverted rows from test day 1
    - 2 minutes rest
    - Inverted row: Test day 1 + 50%
    Day 4:
    - Hollow Rocks for time to failure. Keep the time for future tests
    - 2 minutes rest
    - Inverted row: Test day 1 + 60%
    *-You can rest and continue then. Pause before reaching failure.*
    Repeat this every block. Every block gives you a new max mark
    You can take one rest day if you need it, but no more than that. It's designed to work in 22 days
    Day 21: New max dead arm hang time (maybe 20 seconds more?)
    Day 22: New max pull ups in 1 set (maybe from 0 to _3 to 5_ )
    Update: I just finished day 22 today. In day 1 I was able to do 1 perfect Pull up. Today I'm able to do 1 perfect Pull up as well. I see no progress there. But my dead hang increased from 48 to 65 seconds, and my inverted row from 18 to 28.
    Update 2: after 20 days (aprox) of the last edit, I am able to do 4-5 clean pull ups and 10 without locking my elbows. I started at 1, remember.
    All I did in this 20 days was assisted pull ups the fisrt week, max reps -1 for each set, 3 sets. Then, the same with normal pull ups. 2 or 3 times a week.
    Edit: I didn't try to improve that much my amount of pull ups since the last edit until now. One you can do a decent amount of pull ups (maybe 5 to 10), it may be useful to do 1 set of pull ups to failure every day/every other day, aside from your normal workouts. Of course, you should listen to your body and if your back or arms hurt as hell, just don't do it that day. I recovered my PB (12) in just a week with this technique.
    If you have some weak areas (for example, forearms) you can do also an extra set to failure of isolation for that muscle group (for example, I do one dead hang max per day)

    Hey Jeff - just wanted to share a success story - on Day 22, i did 3 pullups after being at zero before i started the program - frankly i was “O” for life until NOW!!! i still somewhat couldnt believe last night as i went to bed, so this morning (day 23), i woke up early and went down to my basement to try again just to make sure i didnt dream it, LOL - and I did 3 PULLUPS again. Thanks so much for this program - i had tried about 8 different programs before and failed miserably. Now I have a goal to give myself a christmas present of 10 quality pullups on Dec 25th - i am going to take just a couple days off and start the program over again with a weighted vest this time - i’ll keep doing REAL PULLUPS in between. For everyone out there who cant do any pullups, this DOES work - and its FREE - give it the 22 days and stick to it - if I can do it at 53 years old @ 240lbs with super long arms, then anyone can do it - good luck - and ill be back with updates on pursuit of my christmas day goal.

      That is impressive! Were you cutting calories, too? As a senior woman who dieted/binged my way up to low obesity in middle age, then slowly changed diet to lose 45 lbs. over a couple of years, I am convinced that women should start with a resistance and low aerobic program for a few months before they think of cutting calories. So many women are just not fit enough to take advantage of the body, recomposition Ing potential if they have an exercised body ready for the changes. Unfortunately, by the time, so many of them, take any action at all, they feel such body hatred, that they just want that weight off, but they do understand what they are up against.

    Block One:
    Day 0: 10 seconds of dead arm hang and 11 inverted rows, with laying, rests in-between
    Day 1: Did 2x15 Inverted rows and 2x10 Chair Assisted pull-ups. Chair Assisted pull-ups weren't that much of a challenge but Inverted rows were a problem
    Day: 2 Did 2x17 Inverted rows 2x16 and 5x3 eccentric pullups.
    Day: 3 10 seconds of hallow rocks and 17x2 inverted rows
    Block Two:
    Day 0: 30 seconds of dead arm hang, +20 seconds POGCHAMP, and 13 inverted rows, this time I didn't take breaks, couldn't ask for more during block one.
    Day 1: Supported pull-ups 2x8 and 1x18
    Day 2: 8 Eccentric pullups, 1x20 inverted rows
    Day 3: 29 seconds of hollow rock, 1x21
    Block Three:
    Day 0:
    41 seconds of dead arm hang and 15 inverted rows, that's pretty pog at this pace I'll reach 60 seconds of dead arm hang and 20 inverted rows in the final results, that's really good.
    Day 1: 21 inverted rows and 8 assisted pull ups didn't really feel full after this one
    Day 2: 23 inverted rows and 8 eccentric pullups this one was actually filling
    Day 3: 45 seconds of hollow rock and 24 inverted rows, they were getting easy, or it's just I didn't use my biceps before it
    (At this block I could get to half-pullups)
    Block Four:
    Day 0: 54 seconds of dead arm hang and 18 inverted rows, they were really getting easier, and I just realized it. It should put me at 22 inverted rows at the end of the challenge, and I'll be trying my best to get 1 minute and half of dead arm hang
    Day 1: I did 9 half-pullups and 26 inverted rows they were decently hard.
    Day:2 doing my reps as usual, but this time i could hold an eccentric pullup for longer
    Day: 3 1 minute hollow rock and the usual inverted rows
    Block 5:
    Day: 0 1:15 dead arm hang and 21 inverted rows, more than I expected.
    Day 1: Usual reps
    Day 2: Could hold eccentric pullups for way longer than before and for more reps, I can feel myself getting stronger, and the usual inverted rows
    Day 3: Usual hollow rocks and inverted rows
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Well I didn't manage to do a pullup within 22 days but I've had a low starting point, so I'm gonna resume the challenge and hope to do 1 pullup after it

    Day 0: 23 inverted rows and 45 seconds dead arm hang, score 30 secs lower but what to expect after a 2 week break

    Well, I’m up to three pull-ups with five days to go on the 22! My back feels so much stronger with Jeff’s workouts, and my biceps are really toughening up (that is why gymnasts have badass biceps).
    I highly recommend this workout 😎🍾

    Never been able to do a pull-up, am 37 years old. Followed this program, and developed some sort of tear on my left side after 10-12 days. Had to do other exercises that didnt affect the core as much, like down pull etc. Tried after 21 days, and didnt manage. Continued to do the exercises off and on the next month, as well as using rubber bands to do 3x6 assisted reps. Then, after two months, I tried again and managed 2 pull-ups. Really happy about it, and that I didnt just give up

    As a 55 year old that only started getting back into training last February, I was unable to do a single pullup at the start of this challenge (and in truth, don't think i was ever able to do one). At the completion of the challenge, I have doubled my hang time from 50 seconds on first test day to 1 minute 40 seconds at the final test. And, whilst not meeting the 5 pullup challenge, I did split the difference in Jeff saying you would/should get a minimum of 3 by doing 4 pullups for the first time ever. It was difficult to do them, but now I have started, I can focus on form and consistency to slowly grow my count from here. Thank you so much Jeff. Your programs are greatly appreciated.

    I tried this routine for 22days and I'm still struggling so I continued this routine and on my 40th day I just gave up without achieving any pull up. It did something though. I managed to bend my elbow into 90° (from 0° lol) and I definitely feel stronger. I'm a female and I just start working out 1yr ago, I know its not because I need to lose some more weight since I'm already underweight lol, but I'm just weak af. I need to build some upper body strength first and then I could try this routine once again! If you're a male or already pretty fit, I bet achieving your first pullup using this routine will be much much easier! I definitely recommend you to give this a try!!! Goodluck everyone❤️

      pushup is easier than pullup. do 5x10 pushups 4 or five times a week, four is more realistic for you, do the most you can do strict form pushups even if its one rep, then continue knees till u finish ten. if you can't do strict form pushup then just do knee pushups that are strict form till u complete the ten, rest can be like two minutes its no problem, you will keep seeing progress until you start reaching big numbers like fourty which is what im on now

    The main tip I can give you all is to really push to the max for best results.
    I also did a few banded pull ups every second day of the program.

    Not quite a pull-up, but considering I always have struggled to get out of the starting position I think it’s an amazing feat. I increased from a 60s hang to a 90s hang. I’ll probably keep doing a variation of this for a few more weeks to get my strict pull-up.

      HOW TO BE SAVED (How to KNOW you are saved and not just hope you are
      THE BAD NEWS
      All men have sinned and are in need of a Savior (Rom 3:23 "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God" ; Rev 21:8 "But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all LIARS, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
      No man can come to God by his own good works and righteousness. (Isaiah 64:6 "But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags;" THE GOOD NEWS
      1 Timothy 1:15 tells us "This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners."
      How does Jesus save a sinner?
      From the beginning of the bible to the end, God has only forgiven sins through a BLOOD SACRIFICE, because he is a Holy God he can't forgive sins any other way, Heb 9:22 tells us, "...without shedding of blood is no remission." when Adam sinned, God had to kill a lamb in Adam's place as a substitue, In the Law of Moses, a Blood Sacrifice was demanded for the forgiviness of sins.
      Jesus came to die for the sins of the whole world, he came to be OUR Blood Sacrifice, OUR substittue, he came to bear OUR sins on the cross, in OUR place. John 1:29 "...Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world."
      What must you do to be saved?
      YOU MUST REPENT; You must change from unbelief to belief.
      admit you are guilty, that you cannot do anything to save or help save yourself, and that you need Jesus Christ as your savior.
      Titus 3:5 "Not by works of righteousness which we have done. but according to his mercy he saved us,"
      Romans 3:28 "Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law."
      Romans 4:5 "But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness."
      YOU MUST TRUST; placing your complete faith in what Jesus Christ already did to save you;
      John 1:12 "But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:."
      Salvation comes by believing in WHAT Jesus did for you, 1 Cor. 15:1-4 tells us "Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the GOSPEL which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;
      2 By which also ye are SAVED, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
      3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, HOW that Christ died for OUR SINS according to the scriptures;
      4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:"
      All you have to do to be saved, and on your way to heaven is place your TRUST in the shed Blood of Jesus Christ and nothing else, as sufficient for your salvation, (Rom 3:25 "Whom God hath set forth to be a PROPITIATION through FAITH IN HIS BLOOD, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;")
      (Propitiation means the act of appeasing wrath, Jesus took your place on the cross.)
      Will you accept Jesus Christ as your savior by simple faith, simply trusting in his shed Blood for sufficient to save your soul from hell?
      The last sentence is all you must do to be saved, and that is FAITH, not works, TRUSTING in what someone else did for you is the only thing that is not a work.
      Please watch Robert Breaker's video titled "HOW TO GET SAVED"
      If you have received Jesus Christ, by faith in his Blood, you now have eternal life and on your way to heaven!
      I John 5:11 "And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son."
      John 10:27-28 "My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand."

    This video really motivated me that I can do pullups! Been trying a couple months now to do pullups to no avail. I'm able to do 11 inverted rows and 1 minute and 5 second dead hangs and 0 pullups right now. I'm gonna come back in 22 days and hopefully i can achieve 5 pullups!
    Day 21: 1 Minute and 18 Second deadhang achieved!
    Day 2: I'm able to do 4 pullups. However, I can't do them starting from the deadhang position. Basically 4 pullups but not full ROM. Still, thank you for this! I'm gonna continue working on my pullups.

    My results, first time out:

    Block 1 15 63 70
    Block 2 18 72 100
    Block 3 20 82 114
    Block 4 20 100 106
    Block 5 22 102 112
    Day 21, Final test 1
    New max dead arm hang time:
    88 (left fingers slipped, just couldn't grip)
    Day 22, Final test 2
    New max pull-ups in one set:
    3 reps.
    I had a shoulder injury in 2016 (type 2 separated shoulder), so prior to these 22 days, I would favour my stronger shoulder (i.e. lift one side and then the other). I am now lifting more evenly. I plan to run through these 22 days again, to focus on the basics and technique, and move on from there. I'll post my next set of results as well. Keen to see how others get on too.

      Block 2 20 60 108
      Block 3 20 78 106
      Block 4 24 82 108
      Block 5 26 82 124
      Day 21, Final test 1
      New max dead arm hang time: 82 (left fingers again - seem to be my limiting factor, plus my pullup bar foam handle came off, so its tape now - new pull up bar on 'wanted list')
      Day 22, Final test 2
      New max pull-ups in one set: 4 reps.
      My left shoulder and left fingers feel like limiting factors. I have now got some resistance bands, so plan to do more pull ups using those and work on eccentric lowers, to try and get the technique bang on and work both shoulders evenly. I'm also doing some TRX work, advised by physio, to increase shoulder mobility. So, I've gone from 1 to 4 using this plan. I'd loved it to have been more, but its progress all the same.

      Third time around:
      TEST Inverted Rows (reps) Dead Arm Hang Hollow Rocks
      Block 1 22 90 128
      Block 2 25 95 142
      Block 3 28 86 151
      Block 4 30 100 141
      Block 5 32 89 143
      Day 21, Final test 1
      New max dead arm hang time: 90
      Day 22, Final test 2
      New max pull-ups in one set: 5 reps.
      So, I had to do this programme 3 times to get to 5 pull ups. And I had to take some days off here and there as I felt knackered. However, I have gone from 1-2 pull-ups to 5, and the 5 are technically a lot better than the original 1-2. I still feel like my separated shoulder is an issue, but significantly less than it was. I am also doing physio 'YTWs' using gym rings and a few other 'stretches' to work on my shoulder mobility. Next for me is to work on increasing strength in my back. Anyway, progress for a 50 year old who weighs around 180lbs/13 stone.

    This workout routine works like a charm. From a rather skinny dude with barely any upper body strength I was able to go from zero pull ups to two in a row unbroken; along with Jeff’s exercises, I’ve been also doing some extra ones for my lats, traps, as well as biceps in order gain some extra strength benefits. Button line is, if u stay consistent with Jeff’s pull-up workout and guide, I can guarantee u u will see amazing results.

    Totally worth it. I started from 0. My plan was same as this video, the only difference is that I was doing it in sets (3 sets of each exercise). Stick to the routine for exact 22 days. Don’t try to do any regular pullup (if you want to be surprised). I tried straight after 20 days + 1 day rest before actual exam day lol. I did 4. Please stick to the routine. And thank you so much man for this tutorial.
