When we talk about physical, there are so many benefits to pull-ups.

Like when I was younger, I remember I had one of those like pull-up bars on the door frame of my bedroom.

Yeah.

Yeah, which I'm sure mom and dad were stoked with considering the wall is absolutely cooked now.

But every day I would just do like three or four sets of pull-ups and it changed my physique in a really, really good way.

It drastically helped with all my other movements as well.

So physically, I mean, even down to the fact that you're –

the amount of core activation and abs activation you have on pull-ups.

There was a study they did and it showed it was significantly more than when you're doing sit-ups.

So you're using your core, you're using all these primary and secondary muscles.

And then from the mental benefit, as we said before, and this applies to all progressive overload in the gym, but pull-ups is just one of those ones where you see people do it and when you first try it,

It feels impossible.

Impossible.

Yeah.

You're like, how am I ever going to be able to do that?

And so out of all the exercises in the gym, that's probably one of the only exercises where that is the case.

Maybe at the start with push-ups and stuff like that, but everything else you can kind of do to an extent.

Correct.

So when you start doing them consistently and if you're wanting to get better at them just quickly, you need to be doing them multiple times per week.

The more often you do them, the better they will become.
