50 Pull Ups In 40 Weeks

From 0 to 50 pull ups in 40 weeks

Pull ups are by far one of the best ways to show someone your strength and strength endurance. It is the best
upper back exercise you will find and it greatly increases your lattisimus dorsi, which gives you this nice 'V-shaped Back'.
There is one major problem with pull ups though: most people cannot do them. This program is designed to greatly
increase your personal record for pull ups. As the title implies you can learn to do 50 pull ups in 40 weeks.
This goal is not realistic for the majority of people, but this program is build up progressively and you can achieve a lot
in 40 weeks. Most similar programs give unrealistic expectations and say you can do 50 pull ups in 15-20 weeks. A couple
of years ago I made the succesful 15 pull ups in 15 weeks and many people who used it greatly increased the amount of
pull ups they could do. I am going to be honest with you and say that I think that around 10% of the people who use this
plan will get to the 50 pull ups. The majority will give up or will simply not reach such high number. Regardless, this program
will definitely help you to do your first pull ups and it is quite likely that you will at least reach the 20 - 30 pull ups mark,
within these 40 weeks, which is already a massive achievement! If you do stick to the program long enough you will get
the incredible 50 consecutive pull ups. Which less than 1% of the world population can say they can.
In the beginners part you will find the term 'negative pull ups'. Watch this video to learn more about it:

You have increased the amount of pull ups you can do by 10 repetitions. From here on it will be harder and you
most likely need to repeat some days or weeks to achieve the recommended goal. Take 60 to 120 seconds of rest
between sets. When you see '#' pull ups + '#' pull ups this means you take some rest between the two sets.
