Pull Up Training
I already posted this article by Jason Ferruggia. He has several others:
How to Improve Your Chin Ups This is targeted at those of us who can do a few, but want to improve. Like if we are in the pull-up challenge.
How to Improve on Chin Ups This is mostly targeted at those who can't do a single rep yet, or only a few.
Top 10 Ways to Improve Your Pull Ups A variety of advice.
Keep Your Chin Up: How to master the king of relative strength tests And here's one by Thibaudau in T Nation. The advice is more conventional thatn Ferruggia's, but some of you might be interested.

That's exactly what i'm doing. One upper body session will be ladders up to five, the other will be low weighted pulls with no more than three reps per set. I've never trained pullups/chinups this way before.KPj wrote:Think i'll give the ladder method a go..............I'll be doing it in conjuction with low rep weighted pull ups, too. Will be interesting.

Maybe people could post both good resources that they find, as well as talk about their training experience here.
I've been amazed at how many total reps I can get. When I did singles earlier this week, I felt that 20 didn't really challenge me much, since I'm used to doing 5 sets of 7 to 9 reps. Yesterday's 20x2 was more satisfying. Tomorrow I'll try triples to about 50 reps, then next week try some ladders.
I'm also trying to get some of the guys in our little gym interested in increasing their pull ups.

Another good one. Same approach as Ferruggia, but more variations of training ideas.
