A pull-up is one of the most challenging bodyweight movements — but once you achieve it, it’s incredibly rewarding.

I can distinctly remember the first time I attempted to perform a pull-up many years ago…

And you can do it too!

In this article, I’ll give you step-by-step instructions on how to do a pull-up. You’ll also learn:

  • How to avoid common pull-up errors.
  • How to effectively build strength and train for your first pull-up.
  • Three pull-up variations you can use to make things easier (including an assisted pull-up option).
