How To Master Pull-ups
Step 1: Try to hang from the bar as long as you can.
Step 2: Jump up to get your chin above the bar, and then try to slow your descent as your arms straighten back up.
Step 3: Jump up to the bar repeatedly, slowly lowering your body down in a controlled way (this is called "hitting the negatives").
Step 4: Do as above, but try to pull yourself back up after you lower yourself just a little. Repeat, doing mini reps.
Step 5: Do a full pull up. Keep practicing until you can do at least 10 in a row.
Each of these steps could take weeks or months. Just practice 2-3 times per week, allowing your muscles to heal in between. Spend about 5-10 minutes practicing each time.
