Pulls Ups

Adding pull ups and chin ups to my routine has made a huge difference if my upper body strength.

I know many people are unable to do even a single pull up. If that's the case, get yourself to the top of the bar however way you can and slowly, very slowly, lower yourself. Fight it and make it last. This is called a negative pull up but it produces positive results. Once you can do five of these in a row you should be able to do a single pull up.

Then simply continue adding. It's well worth the effort.

On a side note I've been asked about Ben's program. The Double Your Gains book you see on the right. This is a program for serious exercisers only. Yes it does work but you better be prepared to work hard. It's not for everyone.
