Building the basics and testing your start point.
The foundations of a pull up are three areas.
· Core Strength
· Grip Strength
· Pulling strength using your arm and back muscles.
For this we are going to start with three exercises that we can use as a benchmark starting point. Obviously if you already have a dead hang pull up then you can also use your number of reps of these as your benchmark. I want to see a full dead hang start position with fully straight arms working up to the chin comfortably over the bar at the top of each rep.
For most people who are yet to achieve a pull up we can start to test and build strength using the following three exercises.

The pull up is one of the most sought-after bodyweight exercises. A lot of people when they start training assume that because they are unable to achieve one that they are of a low level of fitness. The reality is that the ability to perform strict pull up is rare amongst the general population. My estimate would be that if you took 100 men and 100 women between the age of 25-50 off the street maybe 3 men could perform a strict dead hang pull up and 1 woman. Obviously amongst the gym going population that would be slightly higher and in a CrossFit gym a little higher still. However still most likely to be fewer than 1 in 10 people. In this series I am going to help you progress to the point where you can perform a strict dead hang pull up. For those who already have pull ups all the exercises I will go over are also great accessory movements to help build pull up endurance. I perform every one of these on a regular basis myself and with clients.

The press up, a movement that most people who train perform regularly. It seems by looking at it an incredibly simple exercise, however it is possibly the exercise I see performed most poorly, especially by CrossFitters. This is because we train against a clock. Therefore there is temptation to cut corners and lose technique. Let me break the movement down and talk about where I see mistakes:
