Posted by Jason Ferruggia

Three of the most common topics of confusion for guys who wanna get jacked are:

When it comes to getting better at pull-ups, there are hundreds of ways you can go about it, but only a few are smart and effective enough to give you results without beating up your shoulders, elbows, and wrists.
