Saw this video on an awesome website to reference for some good posts.
I hear it all of the time “I can’t get a pull-up”.
Me- “You mean you can’t now? Well what are you doing to get better?”
Athlete -“Uhh….”
Me - “Exactly.”
I hear this type of crap all the time. People are surprised when they can’t do a pull-up when they don’t ever practice them other than in class. Believe it or not, we as coaches cannot get you magically stronger in 2 hours a week, which translates into about 50 minutes of actual work. (You will get stronger but it will take a long time if that is all you are doing) It takes effort on your part.
Granted I know that you probably don’t have a Barbell at home. However, no excuses for not being able to do body weight exercises that can be practiced in your hallway. That 300+ lbs dude set his mind to it and as you can tell he has no problem tossing his own body around with ease and that is a big boy!
Solution
Get yourself a hanging bar for your hallway and try a few jumping pull ups every morning and every night. Then transition into negatives. Then go for the full on strict pull up. Same thing can be applied to pushups for the Wormers (People who completely disengage their core on pressing out of the pull up).
Practice will make you better. Not Instantaneously! But it will work over time.
Practice and Be An Athlete.
