Pull-Up Mini Course

The Pull-Up Mini Course is a progressive, three-level training program designed to take you from zero to unassisted pull-up. Whether you're starting from scratch or trying to break through a plateau, this course meets you where you are and builds the exact strength, control, and technique you need to perform full pull-ups and chin-ups with confidence.

Each level includes thoughtfully chosen movements that target scapular stability, grip strength, eccentric control, and midline engagement—everything you need for real results. You’ll train both pronated (pull-up) and supinated (chin-up) grips throughout the journey to build true versatility.

No bands. No shortcuts. Just smart progressions and focused work that gets you stronger, rep by rep.

FAQ

  • Yes! In fact, this course is designed for people who can’t yet do a pull-up. Level One starts with assisted exercises that build grip strength, shoulder stability, and scapular control—the foundation for unassisted pull-ups. You’ll gain the strength and technique step by step.

  • If you can do a couple pull-ups but want to improve form, increase reps, or explore variations, you might start at Level Two or Three. These levels focus on controlled negatives, chin-over-bar holds, and full unassisted pull-ups to help you build endurance and efficiency.

  • Because pull-ups require more than just arm strength. Assisted work lets you train the same movement patterns while keeping the load manageable, so you can focus on technique, build the necessary muscle groups, and avoid strain or injury.

  • Yes! You can repeat any level as often as you’d like. Many people cycle back through Level One or Two to rebuild after time off, or to further refine their form and increase reps. Progress isn't linear, but with this course, it's always possible.

  • Definitely. Pull-ups strengthen your back, lats, shoulders, grip, and core—muscles that are critical for everything from rows and deadlifts to posture and injury prevention. It’s one of the most effective upper-body skills you can learn.

  • It depends on your starting strength and training consistency. Some people see results in a few weeks, while others take a few months. This course is self-paced, so you can stay at each level as long as you need until you’re confident to move up.
