I can only perform 17 chinups and I want to be able to do more than 50 and work my way up to 100 with decent form.
Where can I find a program that teaches you how to include this in your workout routine?
I am on the "westside for skinny bastards" program right now and I hope they do no conflict with each other.

How to accomplish 100 pullups/chinups?

you know, its funny, when i began straingth training, i remember i could only do, i think, 2 pullups. i had a pullup bar in my doorway and everytime i walked through, i'd do 1 pullup. so it added up over the day. eventually i tried again and i could do 6.
its only a 4 rep jump, but to me that was one of the coolest things i first discovered, its amazing how the body just gets stronger and you surprise yourself with little things like that, things you never thought you could do.My own videos should go here.

I am gonna rep you for the amazing discovery you just made!!!11one
Regardless, I found something that might be of interest. Many different trainers suggest different schemes for adding to your pull-ups but one thing seems most logical. Pavel T. suggests never going to failure on each set otherwise you will not be able to perform a given amount of sets per day or week.Talent hits a target no one else can hit; Genius hits a target no one else can see.

Alright I guess I'll give a better answer.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recon_Ron_Pull-up_Program
This program flat out works. Just work it into your regular program and add/subtract volume from the rest of your workout as you see fit. Sometimes you just have to force yourself to do the 5 sets the day after a tough upper body session but after you do it for a couple weeks you will find your biceps, delts, and lats recover much quicker then they ever used to.

So you basically follow that table every night except for Sundays? How long do you rest between each set? Could you do the same for Dips? The freaking gymnast on the Olympics have some huge arms, I guess it's from all the pull-ups/dips they have to perform in their training.

Yes before bootcamp I followed it for about 8 weeks and progressed just as the table says you should. Got my pullups from a max of about 10 to 16 when I entered bootcamp. I liked the program so much I just started it back up now that I have access to weights and free time again.
I personally rest anywhere between 1 to 2 minutes between each set. I tend to rest the full 2 when I'm going into a new week or on days where I'm sore from doing other upper body stuff (on top of the program) the day before. As I reach the end of the week I try to do them with as little rest as I can. One thing I would like to add is that you should probably do the pullups first in your workout no matter whether you are doing upper or lower body. If you do this at the end you probably won't get the highest rep set.
As for doing with this with dips too...I really don't know. I would think doing 10 sets a day of essentially compound movements could be a bit taxing and may be counterproductive for those trying to gain mass. But for those with more of an endurance mindset it might be interesting to try. I imagine if one were to try it they should probably start with the pullups first and get that going for a couple weeks so your body adjusts to the frequency before adding in dips. Then when the dips are added maybe just go with doing the dips every other day and increase the frequency to once a week as you see fit. It probably wouldn't be a big deal if that was *all* the training you do but Im assuming you have a split of some kind on top of this to consider.Last edited by Khronos; 08-10-2008 at 03:23 PM.

Thanks alot for the reply. Well I'm going for more mass, basically just bodybuilding type stuff. I follow a basic body-part split, so would doing this Pull-up program effect my Back growth or could it help it? I hit Back once per week with about 4 exercises and 3 sets of around 8-12 reps. I want to get my Back looking alot better, so I was wondering if this Pull-up program could help it. I would do the Pull-up program first thing in the morning and hit Back later on at night at the gym. I mean gymnast guys have crucial Backs and they do Pull-ups everyday hah.

It would most definitely help your back development, for me it affects my biceps a lot since I do them palms facing inward. I never trained my biceps in the 8 weeks I did this program going into bootcamp but by biceps probably grew more in those 8 weeks then in my previous ~years of training. Frequency ftw.
It also of course helps with the delts and lats.Last edited by Khronos; 08-10-2008 at 05:37 PM.
