Lesson-specific notes
Every cycle the aim is to do more pull-ups than the last. A cycle is going through all four Workouts. This is a general recommendation and I don’t suggest counting the overall pull-up count. Just aim for volume in terms of overall reps in this level.
In this stage, you’ll also begin to develop the technique for kipping pull-ups. You’ll notice that in Workout A and B I’ve simply stated kipping pull-up practice. What you’ll do during this period is practice the following movements for 5-10 minutes. I’ve arranged them from the least to the most difficult. As you become more comfortable with the easier practice moves – progress to the more difficult ones. Additionally, keep in mind that the primary goal of level 2 pull-ups is to develop strict pull-up strength. The kipping pull-up technique practice is secondary and is meant to prime you for level 3.
