9to5strength's video: 7 Weeks to 50 Pull Ups: Phase 2 Results

Following on from the success of the phase 1 program, which took my maximum reps from 12 to a new personal best of 18 reps, I wanted to go straight into the phase 2 program. The general layout is the same - it's still three sessions a week and five working sets, but obviously the volume goes up. I coped really well with the first four weeks before reaching a sticking point around 25 reps, which ultimately I couldn't break through in the time given. I was surprised at how well my body held up with the increased load but I was doing the full warm up and warm down religiously every time. If I were to continue doing pull ups I'd be looking to improve my grip strength and endurance as that seems key to unlocking the higher rep ranges.
