Upper Body Strength Doing Pull Ups

   Upper Body Strength Doing Pull Ups

One of the most important exercises that you can do to increase upper body strength is pull ups and man do you do alot of them with P90X!  I am currently using a weighted vest at 22lbs and it has greatly increased my strength.  I took the day off from my vest yesterday and it felt kind of nice to do slow and methodical pull ups 🙂  I forgot what it was like to do more than 6-8 reps! 

     If you are having trouble with pull ups at the beginning, do not worry.  You will gain strength with time.  Follow what is shown in the P90X videos and  use a chair or modify with bands.  Before you know it, you will kick that chair out from under you and accomplish your first real pull-up.   You will be amazed with yourself. 

    I personally started with 3 pull ups back in May of 2010.  Now 11 months later. if I am fully rested, I can hit 30 at one time.  I hit my goal!
   Make me your COACH and lets set some goals that you can achieve whether it be weight loss or strength training.  Do your best and forget the rest!
