What's the best pull up programme? I can do 4 on a good day.

3-5x failure, lots of rest between. When you can do like 3x8-10 start adding weight.

doing them several times per week but never going to failure seems to work for me. always leave a rep or two

So, either do to failure, or not do to failure?

What's the advantages with each of those two alternatives?

You can do more sets if you don't go to failure. Starting at 4 you'll probably have to go to failure.

What's grip and width is best?

I like underhand. It puts the biceps in a better position to help so you can do more and arms get more work, and you get almost the same benefits as wide grip for lats.

Wide grip is a bit better for lats if you're more about bodybuilding.

Just do more.

Progress will come painfully slowly but it'll happen.

If you can only do 4, you need to use the assisted weight and do 3x10

Underhand is for pussies. It's tough because it's working. Keep doing pullups, OP. The strength will come eventually. >>37981874

The point is to be able to do more reps or add more weight. Failure is failure either way senpai.

Should I do negatives:

If you want to get good at pullups do lots of pullups. Simple as that really. Once you get to sets of 10 add weight and keep doing lots of pullups.

I normally do 3 sets of pullups until failure, and then do 3 sets of chins. Underhand grip is for weak ass fuckboys, I can still go for reps of chins after exhausting mysel until not being able to do a single pullup.

The bicep pump is nice though.

If you can't do more than 4 pullups like the OP, then do negative pullups AFTER reaching your max reps. I think underhand pullups are great, but I do them separetly from my normal pullups.

Don't be that asshole who only does underhand 'cause he's too afraid to show everyone around that he's still a beginner when it comes to raw strength. Suck it up and walk the walk.

Doing as many reps as I could in a set block of time works well. 7 minutes, maybe 10. That might mean singles for you, OP, but you'll get in a lot more volume that way..

>underhand

Fuck you dawg.
