The Definitive Guide to Pull-Ups

Pull-ups are one of the most effective movements for building back strength, posture, and upper-body balance.

This guide shows you how to train them properly - with clear progressions, intelligent volume, and a structure you can repeat over time. The Definitive Guide to Pull-Ups is the ultimate guide to increasing back strength and gaining a highly aesthetic physique.

What This Guide Covers

You’ll learn:

• How to build toward high-rep capacity

• How to progress into weighted pull-ups

• How to use pull-ups as a daily accessory/focused block

The emphasis is on consistent, measurable progress.

Why Pull-Ups Matter

When trained correctly, pull-ups:

• Don't just build lats, but develop the entire upper back (traps, rhomboids and rear delts as well)

• Improve posture and shoulder health

• Balance pressing-heavy routines

Pull-ups are not just good for functional strength, but they are perhaps the best exercise for aesthetics - the way they build your back pulls your shoulders back and opens up your chest, which corrects your posture.
