The Gymnast Pull-Up Routine
This one was popularized by Charles Poliquin. After eight weeks of performing this routine once a week, I had people commenting on my arm growth and accusing me of being on the sauce.
Here's how it works:
- Do pronated (hands facing away from you), shoulder-width pull-ups. Stop 2-3 reps short of failure. Rest 10 seconds.
- After the 10 seconds of rest, move your hands in (4-6 inches apart) and perform pronated, close-grip pull-ups. Again, stop a couple of reps shy of failure. Rest 10 seconds.
- Now switch your hands into a supinated position (hands facing you) and use a shoulder-width grip. Stop just short of failure and rest 10 seconds.
- Finally, move to the close-grip supinated position and perform reps to just short of failure.
- Rest 3 minutes and do the whole cycle again.
- After 4 weeks, perform the full cycle 3 times
