Perfect Pullup Assist 21-Day Workout


Pullups are hard, and even the strongest person can struggle reaching set goals in GOOD form. The Perfect Pullup Assist helps maximize your pullup workout by counter-balancing your bodyweight and allowing you to concentrate on your form. Follow the 21-Day workout below to help you increase the number of pullup sets and unassisted pullups and chin-ups you can perform.


Before starting your workout, be sure to pay attention to the checklist below to ensure proper technique to prevent injury:

Pullup Assist Workout Checklist:
·         HEAD: Neutral position – ears in line with the shoulders and spine
·         BACK: Straight, in line with neck and hips
·         CORE: Contract abs – pull navel toward spine
·         LEGS: Position stirrup in center of one foot – keep leg straight and use the other leg for balance
·         PACE: 1 second up and 5 seconds down
·         BREATHING: Exhale on the way up, inhale on the way down
 

Next, use the guide on page 3 of the workout chart to find your 1 Set Max for unassisted pullups. This will be your guide for performing the workout below. Once you’ve completed the workout, re-test your 1 Set Max and repeat.
