Finally Get That First Pull-Up—Without Guesswork, Burnout, or Wasted Gym Time

the ultimate pullup program a guide to getting your first pullup

A science-backed, step-by-step program designed for beginners and busy athletes who want to build real strength, improve form, and finally master the pull-up—with long-term results.

Hi! My name is Bre—a Doctor of Physical Therapy, former competitive gymnast, and Crossfitter who knows what it takes to build strength from the ground up. I created this program to take the mystery out of pull-up progressions and give YOU a roadmap that actually works. Whether you’re a busy parent, weekend warrior, or lifting athlete, I’ve got your back (literally).

Let’s be real—pull-ups are hard. Maybe you’ve plateaued, feel stuck on bands, or wonder if you’re even doing the right exercises. And every time you try, your elbows flare, your grip burns out, and you feel like you’re just spinning your wheels.

That’s why I built this phased pull-up program—designed with progressive strength building, injury prevention, and real-world results in mind. Each phase targets the key muscles, motor control, and mobility you need to earn your pull-up safely and confidently.

FAQ?

1. Can I do this at home?

Yes! As long as you have access to a pull-up bar, a thick resistance band, and a PVC pipe or stick, you’re all set. The program was designed to be simple, accessible, and doable in a garage gym, a spare room, or at your local box.

Each session takes under 30 minutes and can be used as a warm-up, finisher, or standalone strength session. It’s designed to fit into your life, not take it over.

Perfect! This program helps you go from your first rep to unassisted sets. It includes progressions for building strength, control, and endurance so you can work toward multiple reps—or even start working on your strict-to-kipping pull-up transition.

Yes—every phase includes a Mobility Compendium with exercises targeting pecs, lats, traps, and thoracic spine. These drills are science-backed and chosen to support healthy, pain-free range of motion so you can pull strong without risking injury.

Absolutely. The program is structured to be complementary, not overwhelming. With just 3–5 short sessions per week, you’ll build pull-up strength without overtraining—just be sure to give your upper body 1–2 recovery days per week.
