A Sneak way to improve your pull-ups and build raw strength

This method is based on a system called ‘cluster sets’, by spreading the reps out over a longer time period this allows you to work at a high intensity without getting too fatigued.

Let’s say you want to do 12 strict pull-ups, but currently you can only manage 4.

Rest and start your next set.

Simple!
