The YouTube channel Athlean-X has a 1 month program to go from zero to 5 pull ups in 21 days.

Yes. Another variant is to use a strong round piece of wood, like a thick broom stick or a 4 feet long stair rail, put it across two chair backs and do the pull ups between the chairs. Have the chair backs facing each other. I used two stools.

Thanks, Joe. How is summer going? Our winter hasn’t been too bad. Yet. 60 degrees F. Long range has the second week in January being cold. Kind of as expected. 

Good to see another long timer still active. I decided to add kettlebell workouts to get more muscle mass. Turned 60 this year.

Started my second time for this program. I usually do 4 workouts a week, so it will take a little longer than 90 days.

Look in the YouTube channel Athlean X. He has a free program to go from zero to 5 pull-ups in 22 days.

I jump higher to practice the footwork for double unders. I slow on my cadence.

I can see the muscle growth with this program. I didn’t lose any weight, but I can tell I lost fat, so overall a visible improvement. 

suggestions for improvement would be including more full body, compound lifts. Kettlebells might be a good addition. Things like the Turkish get ups at the end so time doesn’t get impacted and they can be done at a slower pace for those of us who need to learn the movement.

But all in all, an excellent program.

Brandon had a dumb bell workout in a gym about 3 years ago. 90 seconds of lifting with 30 seconds jumping. Might have referenced boxing.  

Also, I recommend Dr. Peter Attia’s book “Outlive.”  The only proven way to avoid the”decade of decline” is increasing muscle mass.

I have other music playing to my side and a Noxgear speaker clipped to my waistband playing the exercise. My music is playing louder, but I can still hear the workout.

If you want a full program of different workouts, JRD 90 would be first, then Shredded Ninja second. JRD Max has the advantage of repeating workouts so one can follow improvements. I was not impressed by Swole Samurai.  Seemed too simplistic to me.
