Are you interested in total volume or how much you can do in one set? |

How many times a week do you do chinups? Maybe we can fix it with a simple deload program for just one week. |

Besides squats and deadlifts, squat twice and deadlift once. |

Besides squats and deadlifts, squat twice and deadlift once. I see. Do this, 3x4, 3x5, 3x3. Each set and reps on each day you do your workout, so at the end of the 3rd day, you'll go for 3x6. Another solution is to try pavel's ladder. Pavel's ladderpersons who tried it were able to do 100's of reps. |

You gotta switch it up bro. Chin ups are notorious for being hard to increase (there's even a post dedicated to it on this forum). This is what I did: instead of 3 sets with 60-90 seconds rest, I did 5 sets of 5 with 3 minute rest between sets. Increase the rep by 1 in the last set each time. For example: you do 5 sets, 3 minute breaks and you can do this: 5, 5, 5, 4, 4. Next time do: 5, 5, 5, 4, 5, then 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, etc. when you get up to 7, 7, 7, 8, 8 or around there I got stuck again and went and did weighted chin ups. gluck

I do switch it up, I switched my reps with sets and sets with reps a couple of days ago.  So say I had 3x5-8 I did 5-8x3 (I did 8 ) with 10lbs also. But it didn't help me any for some reason. |

Just be careful to not overuse your joints for doing way to many chinups. He hehehe |
