25 Pull-Ups

This is a pull-up program that we developed for those motivated Midshipmen who want to move beyond 20 pull-ups.  For those who cannot complete day 13 of this program, you are better off doing our "Training for your first pull-up" program first.  You should start in the pull-up and pushup chart on a day that you know you can complete.  Be conservative with where you start.  It pays to start a bit easy and accelerate through any sticking points.  We have gotten many people to 25 pull-ups and beyond with this simple plan.  25 pull-ups and 100 pushups is not uncommon.  Most people stick to one pull-up grip on this plan (supinated or pronated), depending on how they are going to test.  Once you can get 25 pull-ups, mixing up the grips is a good idea.
