Day 1



3 max sets with solid form. These are essentially sets to technical failure.

Keep your rest at 5 minutes between sets



Day 2



10 sets with 50% of your best set on your first max attempt

Keep rests at 1 minute between each set

Progression- do not increase reps until you reach all of your sets at the prescribed rep range, and after that, increase target reps by 1

You rep count is determined by day 1 performance, and is NOT adjusted to new PR’s as the program continues, instead you increase reps by 1 per set as you perform all 10 sets with your target rep count.



Note: It is common to be unable to complete all 10 sets at your target rep range. This is ok. Just get what you can and try to complete more sets at your target reps the following week.



Day 3



Day 3 is an ascending ladder workout, starting with 1 rep, and working up to as many rungs as you can do before fatigue prevents your from exceeding your previous rung.



DO NOT TRAIN TO FAILURE DURING THE LADDER WORKOUT



For instance, say you perform 1, then 2, then 3 then 4 , but 4 is starting to get really challenging and you aren’t confident you could get 5, well then you would stop the ladder there, reset back down to 1, and repeat the process.

Perform 5 total ladders

Take 30 seconds between rungs and ladders


This program works best for people that can do 6-15 pull ups

Run this program for 8 weeks or 2 months, and you can expect to see a 50-100% increase in max reps.



Let me know how it goes!
