The First Pull-Up After Fifty

The pull-up is the test most men over fifty skip, and it is the one that separates them fastest. This takes a man who can hang from a bar and turns him into a man who can pull his chin over it, once, without cheating.

What is inside:

• Ten weeks written out session by session, with the exact rep counts

• The three gates that have to be in place before a pull-up is a realistic ask, and none of them is the pull-up

• Band assistance that genuinely tapers instead of hiding the work for six months

• The elbow and shoulder prep that keeps the ten weeks uninterrupted

• What to do in week six when it stalls, because for most people it does
