The human body is the only machine that improves the more its used. Happy Workout Goats.

I hope this is the start of something. I already exersize but it'd be cool if in a month, that voat would be pushing people to do 40 pushups

Great advice. And if anyone can easily do a few pull-ups and wants to bump your numbers up, try density training. Copy and paste of the program below: Created by a former S&C coach at Wake Forest.

if you want to be able to perform 20 straight pull-ups, double that number to 40. Perform 20 sets of 2 reps in 20 minutes. You must start each set at the top of each minute. When this set and rep scheme becomes easy, move onto the next level, which would be 3 reps every minute for 13 minutes, and so on and so on…. It should look like this over the weeks. • 20 sets of 2 reps for 20 minutes • 13 sets of 3 reps for 13 minutes • 10 sets of 4 reps for ten minutes • 8 sets of 5 reps 8 minutes • 7 sets of 6 reps for 6 minutes • 6 sets of 7 reps in 5 minutes • 5 sets of 8 reps in 5 minutes • 4 sets of 10 reps in 4 minutes • 3 sets of 13 reps in 3 minutes Eventually, you will be able to accomplish your desired goal of 20 repetitions. Do this workout only twice per week.

Easy is in bold because that's important. Easy = you can do all required sets and reps without being out of breath or struggling on form or straining to accomplish the last sets. So make sure it's easy before you move on.

If your gym has pull up machines where you can add weights to them to help spot you, I recommend using those as well. You basically just do your max, add a little weight that pushes you up by the knees, do your new max with assistance, and keep going. Really good way to improve without another person holding your legs.

Excellent advice.

The posts are on v/theredpill. Join in TODAY, it's not a big deal. Just ONE pullup and pushup....

Get some gymnastic rings. Only equipment you will ever need. Great body. Great strength. Healthy joints and posture. No gyms, no gym memberships, no grunting, meathead gym bros.

There are exercises you do to get physically stronger, and exercises you do to get mentally stronger. I recommend and low, easy number every day, but one that you'll do every day. It's more about training your mentality than your body.

Separately, you train to get stronger. That's something else.

A simple resistance band helps a lot with pull ups. I can do 8 pull ups without them (real ones, not crossfit ones) but I will still use the band to even out the resistance.

Also, if you do over-hand pull-ups with a close grip it will concentrate on your biceps.

Correction: under hand, although studies say they both work the biceps better than curls
