When you do pull-ups, how many times do you go to failure?

Be honest...

Quite often I assume...

Now, this isn't the worst, but what if I told you there's an alternative (better) way?

Let’s say you have 10 pull-ups

Instead of doing 3 sets of 8 reps where the last reps in each set are sketchy, because of fatigue, we flip the equation around—8 sets of 3 reps.

In both instances you did 24 reps.

Mind = blown, right?

5 benefits of this method:

And before you say, "But Tom, this means I spend way more time on pull-ups, because 8 sets..."

Here's my reply:

Put a timer on and every 2:00 you do 3 reps for 8 rounds.

That's 16 minutes of pull-ups and gains. It's worth it.

Try this high set x low rep strategy and let me know how it goes

Should you do 100 push-ups every day?
