    Default Unbalenced pull up to rest of ss

    Before i started doing ss i did pull up/dips with a backpack as a result i can do pull with 26.25 kg added

    Currently i am struggling to add weight. I was wondering if i should change the rep (from 3x5 to 3x3 or something like that.)

    Stats on ss for 2 weeks
    Squat 82.5 kg(182lbs) (reset from 87.5 was doing gm squat)
    Bench 62.5kg(138lbs)
    Ohp 40(88)
    Dead 95(210)(just figured it out how to do it this week)
    Pull 26.25(58)
    Weight 67.5kg (150lbs)

    It sounds like you are already pretty good at pull ups. I wouldn't worry much about progressing those at this point in time.
    Keep bringing up the rest of your lifts and you will be fine.

    Also, what is your height?

    Weight: 150lbs
    Height: ???

    So you want me to stay at the same weight?
    Won't that be counterproductive i mean i want to grow stronger and bigger (you get the idea)

    Not sure about height last time i checked (a few months ago )was 178cm 5ft 10 (only 15 years old so might have changed).

    Do some pull-ups after training the main lifts. Do as many as you can. One you can hit 10-15 at a given weight, increase it a little bit. It is an accessory lift, and it really doesn't matter.

    We just had an article about training pull ups with loading.

    Once you stall on sets across, you can go for a top set plus back offs or something like that.

    I never said that. I asked for your height because it's hard to recommend weight changes without this info. At 4' 10" you would probably be at a great weight.

    At 5' 10" and 15 years old you will want to gain weight. To not gain weight in your circumstance would be unhealthy.

    My main goal is the get stronfer and gain weight ( which i am doing)

    i wanted to know how to progress with pull ups since i can't progress linear like my other lifts.

    Basicly i am an intermediate with pullups
    can't progress every workout and still a novice in my other lifts

    So my question is how should i fit pullups in my schedule

    Basically choose an intermediate style of progression.

    e.g

    Alternate heavy/light
    Sets ascending
    Top set and back offs
    Volume/intensity undulation
    8/5/2

    Your progression has slowed so you've gone from adding weight every session, to every other session. Then comes adding weight once a week, once every other week, every third week etc.

    Ok thank you for answering my question.

    I will try the top set and back offs
    (4 sets of 3 with a few back off sets)

    I also have 1 question that may sounf silly so here goes when do i know when to add weight? Do i just do at my lasy weight and if i feel like i can add weight i add weight?

    Ie 3 reps feels fine and i feel like i can do a 4 one.
