Strict pull ups are the ultimate show of strength. It’s just you and your bodyweight against gravity. So why are they so damn hard to master?

The fact is, good-looking pull ups aren’t just a matter of muscling through the movement. Pull ups demand strength, stability, and muscle activation.

That’s why we wrote this “Couch to Pull Up” eBook. Inside, you’ll find the activation exercises, strength tips, and progressive movements which will take you from zero to pull up hero in the shortest time possible.

Have you got your first pull up yet? Whether you’re stuck at zero or just about able to grind out a couple, this guide is for you.

Pull ups are the ultimate display of bodyweight strength. They’re a core component of calisthenics, gymnastics, and every muscle building programme throughout history. Being able to do a pull up shows that you’ve reached a certain level of training. Being able to do 20 tells everyone you’re seriously strong.

When you think about calisthenics, what comes to mind? Maybe strength, control, balance – or perhaps all three. Parallettes are the perfect training tool to learn and practice some of calisthenics most recognisable movements.

Parallettes have a special place in our heart - the first product we developed was our hugely popular XL Pro Parallettes. Since then we’ve improved the design – and added Medium Pro Parallettes to the range – because we think parallettes are fundamental to functional training.

A weighted vest is possibly the most versatile piece of functional fitness kit you can own. By adding weight onto your body, it transforms any movement from bodyweight to weighted.

Train as a heavier person, then take the weight off! Load (aka weight) is one of the core training variables we can manipulate to bring about adaptation from our sessions. Barbells and other free weights are the obvious way to increase load, but that’s not a practical way to add weight to calisthenics, cardio, and constantly moving exercises.

Can you really get super strong using just gymnastics rings? Absolutely!

Gymnastics rings are an amazing tool for building size, strength, and muscle mass with functional movements.

Gymnastics rings are a great piece of kit to add to your home gym or on the-go training collection.

You can attach rings to any rig, pull up bar, or even a sturdy tree or climbing frame outdoors. And they’re small and portable, making them an incredibly versatile training tool.
