Pull-Up Mastery: Technique, Progressions and Strict Reps
Pull-Up Mastery: Technique, Progressions and Strict Reps
Go from zero to clean, strict pull-ups—or add reps with perfect form. This course teaches technique, smart progressions (banded, eccentric, isometric), and variations you can train at home, with a doorway bar, rings or at the park.
What you’ll achieve
- Your first strict pull-up or more controlled reps without momentum
- Stronger lats, mid-back, biceps, forearms and core bracing
- Confidence with hangs, scapular control, and full-range pulling
- Progression to chin-ups, neutral-grip, archer and L-sit pull-ups
What’s inside?
- Form foundations: grip, hollow body, scapular depress/retract, active hang vs dead hang
- Progressions: band-assisted, eccentrics/negatives, top/mid-range isometric holds, row variations
- Strength blocks: tempo work, paused reps, cluster sets, EMOMs
- Accessory work: core anti-extension, lower-trap work, grip protocols
- Printable trackers and clear “level-up” tests
- Optional mobility and shoulder prehab

FAQ
How often should I train pull-ups?
Most people progress with 2–4 focused pulling sessions per week, with rest days between heavy sessions.
Can I do this without a pull-up bar?
Yes—start with rows, hangs, and band setups. We recommend adding a doorway bar or rings as soon as possible.
What if I can already do 5–10 pull-ups?
Begin in the intermediate path with tempo, pauses, and volume plans to build clean sets and tougher variations.
Does this include technique videos?
Yes—form cues, common mistakes, and step-by-step progressions are included.
