Pullups are, without a doubt, one of the few truly essential exercises.
Climbing, hanging, and generally pulling yourself upward is a skill that's been passed down to us from our ancient forefathers til today.
While they needed it for different reasons (climbing to escape predators, climbing to find food, etc) for our purposes the benefits of overhead pulling are in strengthening the back, arms, grip, and abs (yes, even abs) — all of which will greatly increase your usable, real-world strength in leaps and bounds, make your shoulders resilient, and start helping you fight back against the ravages of PPP syndrome (piss-poor posture) caused by sitting all day and just generally not moving a lot.
But what if you CAN'T do a single pullup yet?
This episode will give you some insights on how to nail your first one (without one of those silly rubber band setups, too) here's a video demo: https://youtu.be/IG9qHQfoWNM
