also, doing pyramids help ALOT,

simply adjusting the numbers to your liking

1 pull up
25 push ups
2 pull up
25 push up
3 pull up
25 push ups

etc.. works well improving both pull ups and push up, my numbers doubled.

This should be all the advice anyone needs with regards to PU,s.

Pushups, having trouble.

I like to do incline push-ups using dumb bells as a place to put my hands.
