Your Inability to Do Pullups Is All in Your Head

Many of us are stopped from being able to do pull-ups is our mistaken belief that we can't do it. The notion inside our mind that we can't do a pull-up is a major reason for our incapacity to do it.

Another reason most people cannot do pull-ups is the lack of regular practice. The gym-goers use equipment that narrows their muscle variations and doesn't replicate the real action of a pull-up.

Get your mind to doing pulls by these three essential variations: 

• The Partner-assisted pull-up in which a partner 'spots' you around the back area. 
• The Negative Pull-up in which you start from the top and slowly move down, using the same set of muscles. 
• The Jumping Pull-up in which you give yourself a head start by jumping for the first one.

• Grip the handlebar tightly
• Tuck in the Pelvis
• Abs should be tight
• Pull your arms down
• Shoulders should be down too
• Legs have to be straight
• Head should be neutral
• While going up, do not lift your chin upwards.
