Pull - Up



Lifters should be able to do pull-ups with as much weight – including bodyweight – as they can bench press, meaning that a 200-pound guy that bench presses 300 pounds should be able to do a pull-up with 100 pounds added.




A 1:1 ratio of pull-ups to bench presses should be the minimum. Let's assume that most males can do at least 7-8 bodyweight pull-ups, with whatever grip that's preferred. If you can't, and have been training for more than a few years, take this as a wake-up call that you seriously need to reconsider your training, nutrition, or both.
