Pull ups and calisthenics

[Eye of the Tiger]

In my calisthenics I make gains everyday except for my pull ups. I only eother struggle to keep the the same amount of reps I did the previous day or decrease in them but I gain in all my other calisthenics. Why is this and what should I do?

 

ThaNKS in advance

Pullups every day may not be wise. They're a very tough movement and lots of time is needed for the muscles to recover and gain in strength for it. Try doing them every other day.

I agree with Jack. Pull-ups are one of the few exercises that you are using all of your body weight as resistance. You may do well with more recovery time.

So why is it that I progress in handstand pushups. Bit I'l try doing them every other day as in Matts book he doesn't inclued pulling type movements probobly becuase they dont work like the other movements.

 

Well thanks anyway

Here is a good link for you to working your way up to better (Or More) Pull-Ups (be sure you are using correct form) Try doing every other day at first until it becomes easier for you.
