#pull-up (exercise)

  There’s a reason why the classic military push-up saying goes, “Drop and give me 20!” instead of demanding a higher number. Because somewhere around this rep count is where most people hit a ceiling on their max push-up reps. Perhaps you’re able to bang out considerably more than this — like, say, 50 — but even so, a push-up sticking point can be a huge annoyance for anyone looking to take…

This method is based on a system called ‘cluster sets’, by spreading the reps out over a longer time period this allows you to work at a high intensity without getting too fatigued.

So how does it work?

Let’s say you want to do 12 strict pull-ups, but currently you can only manage 4.

Start by completing 2 reps, then rest 15 seconds, Complete another 2 reps, then rest another 15 seconds, Then repeat this process until you have done your 12 pulls-ups.

Rest and start your next set.
