Yes Rob I think you will benefit just from changing up your routine for a while. Shock some growth into those muscles.

This sounds cool, I`ve been doing 4 sets of 4 pull ups, followed by 4 sets of 4 chin ups with the intention of increasing to 4 sets of 5 on both pull and chin ups, do you think I`ll benefit from the pyramid method?

I’ve just started doing this as of about 2-3 weeks ago and I can do 10 pullups – my aim is to get to 15 and then I’ll be really chuffed. Doing them everyother day is what I’m doing at the moment.

this sounds really cool. ive always had a hard time with pull ups, but ive recently gotten up to 12 narrow grip chinups in a row. they require more bicep strength so they are eiasier.

Ramy: Clearly you would implement pyramid pull ups into your back routine in place of regular pull ups or chin ups. If you really want to make some progress, do the pyramid pull up sets in the morning and your regular lifting program at night.

Steve,
Im gonna start doing your pyramid pull-ups tomorrow! But the thing is I already weightlift, but I was disappointed to see my pull-up count decrease after weightlifting. Im not all bulky i’m just looking for good shape, so I need to weightlift. Can you help me find a way to include this in my workout routine. Which workout should i include this in? I workout one muscle group a day 5 times a week.

I’ve got about 25 gineau pigs I’d like to try this on. Do you think that this is something people who can only do 3 or 4 pullups can benefit from? And how do you think it compares to a 3 sets a day- morning noon and night plan, with out maxing it during any of the sets. I’m anxious to know what you think
