[WATCH VIDEO]: Pull Ups PR Test
Prior to this test I hadn't practised doing any more than 5 pull ups at a time. However, I would do them quite frequently, maybe a few 3-5 times a day, and occationally add weight. This method of training is named GTG (grease the groove) and is explored in the book "The Naked Warrior" by Pavel Tsatsouline. In a nutshell the guidelines for GTG are: -Keep sets at 5 or less reps -Don't train to failure. Stop 1 or 2 reps before muscle fatigue -Do as many sets throughout the day as possible
