How many pull-ups can you do? Do you do kipping pull-ups? Assisted pull-ups? Strict pull-ups? Pull up to the gym then drive away 😂🙃 Comment below 👇🏼 Pull-ups.. Let’s talk about them. It’s a love/ hate relationship. Love the burn but hate how hard they can be. I know, I get it 🙋🏻♀️ But.. if you’re not good at something, that’s an even bigger reason to do it until you get good at them. There’s progressions and regressions to this movement.

Different color/width of the band the more/ less it will help you. The band I used from @wodfitters is purple. Allows me to do 8-10 pull-ups consecutively. If I were to do them without I may be able to string 3-5 depending on the day. How to do a hammer grip pull-up 1. Play’s band around the bars. 2. Secure 1 foot in the band while the other one wraps around behind it to prevent the band from coming up. 3.
