Pull Ups

[DonSEAL2B]

I have looked at a few different sites and books about BUD/S. Some of them say you need to do at least 6 pull ups, and others say you need to do at least 8. Which is it? Thanks.

If you plan on going to BUD's I would at least be doing 15 to 20, whatever the books say is going to be the absolute least you can do. You want to be able to destroy those numbers.

i totally agree.. im sure that the seals dont want someone that strive to make minimum requirments.. u should strive to do as many as u can regardless. besides even 8 pull ups sounds weak.. any girl should be able to do that. (i admit my pull ups suck.. i can only do 11.. im working on it though)

Ok, thanks. What can I do to improve my pull ups, they arn't bad, but I would like to be able to do more.

search around here a bit.. we have talked about it quite a bit... basically just keep doin em. rest a few days.. & do some more.. try going down on a 30sec count.. try em w/weights on your back or around your waste or in your feet, try em w/different grips, pull harder w/1 side.. ie so you go up closer to 1 hand, use a spotter. look around here a bit more.
