  • Goal to be able to do pull ups. What can I do on pole to help me get there?

    Hi all :3

    I’ve set myself the goal to do 5 pull ups by December. I can’t get myself to the gym too often but I do own a pole at home.

    What conditioning exercises can I do to help my reach my goal?

    There are!
    If you have a pole at home try these lessons:
    Pole row
    Pole hold
    Pole UP (I don’t think I have a lesson for this one) Grip up higher than pole hold and literally pull up, make sure to switch hand placement.
    Descending scissors
    The Chest and back routine

    Advanced pole stuff that would help: Shoulder mounts (if you can’t yet try the 30 day nailed it shoulder mount program)

    Off pole:
    Wide rows
    High rows
    Lateral pulls
    Hands and elbows planks

    Don’t forget to keep things in balance and focus on the body as a whole, it all works together.

    I get on my knees and I put my hands up over my head on the pole and then I try to pull myself off my knees. I started out with 3 sets of 5 and then I increased from there.
