Pull Ups

 

*      How it works:  It’s believed that by doing pull-ups daily, you may grow up to three-quarter inch within 14 months.

 

*      Experimented by:  Sky

*      Statistical Success Rate:  Low (as of June 2007.. people reported low to medium rate of success in athletes)
…….…………………………..Medium (Others)

- Athletes, bodybuilders, or physically active individuals tend to achieve better results than others (physically inactive) when doing pull-ups daily.

*      Duration:  3 weeks (November 2004)

*      Level of Difficulty:  Easy

*      Result:  Not conclusive.
- The result of this experiment is not available due to the fact that I only experimented with pull-ups for less than 3 weeks. 

 

 

*      Explanation:  If you’re unable to invert due to medical issues, your best bet is to follow the Pull-ups Routine.  Pull-ups routine has a high success rate; however, its growth rate is slower than Sky’s Lumbar Routine.

Sky’s Pull-ups Routine is more suitable for people who are afraid of doing inversion due to medical conditions such high blood pressure or backache. However, the growth process is extremely slow!

Correct

Here I am doing pull-ups at the school gym.  This type of hanging is kinetic because it involves motion in which you are lifting your entire body weight up and down.

Wrong

This is stationary hanging in which you’re hanging motionless. It has been proven that any form of hanging (whether upright or upside down) and yield disappointing results.

 

Bodybuilder

By having a lean body, you will immediately look taller. Everything comes down to stronger and leaner muscle mass in the back, core, and abdominal area.  Without the healthy muscles, the cartilage discs have very little chance at thickening and growing.

 

Note:  If you’re unable to invert with weights due to medical conditions (such as hypertension, backache,
glaucoma, etc), your best bet is to follow the Pull-ups Routine.

Note:  Sky’s Pull-Ups Routine may not produce outstanding growth rate as compared to Sky’s Lumbar Routine.  With Sky’s Lumbar Routine, you’re able to use dumbbell weights while inverting and therefore the growth rate is faster.

 

However, you may increase the intensity level while doing pull-ups by wrapping ankle weight strap around the torso?  It’s a little difficult at first but you’ll get used to it as time progresses.  Try to hang with 5 pound ankle weight strap at first, and then slowly increase more weight (1 pound or more every week) around the torso to grow quicker.
