Perfect Pullup FAQ's

• How can I combine Perfect Pushup and Perfect Pullup workouts? Should I use them both the same day or do pushups one day and pullups the next?
  • For a more challenging workout try the Power 10 Push/Pull workout: here’s how it works: Every minute for ten minutes conduct one set of pullups followed by one set of pushups using the same ratio of 1:2 (1 Pullup = 2 Pushups). For example, you do 5 pullups, then do 10 pushups in one minute. If you finish early, rest. Otherwise, start the next set and repeat until you’ve completed the 10 set workout. The trick is to keep that pace for ten minutes: you need to pace yourself. It will seem easy at first, but the repetitions add up fast! So start slow and finish strong!
• How do I move from the Perfect Pushup workout chart to incorporating some specific exercises from the Perfect Pushup Power 10 DVD?
  • Here’s one suggestion: follow the routine on the chart for 21 days. When you start the next 21 day cycle, replace WIDE pushups with one of the pushup movements we've posted on YouTube or that you find on the Power 10 DVD.
    
    Here’s another: start immediately with a couple of the exercises (such as Mountain Climbers and the Super Slow series). Ater you can do 10 Perfect Pushups you're ready to start trying all the exercises. Spending time strengthening your shoulders and rotator cuffs is essential before attempting the more complex exercises found in the follow-on Power 10 DVDs. Most guys have spent a fair amount of time doing conventional pushups or bench presses - good exercises, but they're not completely functional because they don't enable your arms to conduct the full natural rotation. So it's important to spend at least three workouts (assuming they are full body PERFECT PUSHUPS) getting used to the rotation before attempting the Power 10 exercises.
• How do I get bigger muscles?
  • If you’re after bigger muscles then you need to load up your muscles. That is, do pushups or pullups to complete exhaustion, then drop to your knees on pushups or lower the Perfect Pullup bar and keep the workout going until you are absolutely spent on your sets. Follow the Perfect Pushup workout plan that comes with the Perfect Pushup or try something even simpler: 1000 pushups and 250 pullups a week.
